A distributed signature sequence adaptation scheme is considered for the downlink of a MC-CDMA system, wherein each mobile user selfishly adapts its signature sequences to improve its own performance using measurements at its location with no consideration to the performance of other users in the system. The convergence of such an adaptation scheme is shown using a game theory framework. That is, with any initial signature sequences in the system, the proposed adaptation scheme definitely converges to a set of signature sequences at which no user can further improve its own performance with individual adaptation.

We consider the problem of mobile speed estimation using two common diversity schemes, selection combining (SC) and maximal ratio combining (MRC). We derive three new estimators, which rely on the inphase zero crossing rate, inphase rate of maxima, and the instantaneous frequency zero crossing rate of the output of SC. We also propose two estimators which work based on the level crossing rates of the envelopes at the output of SC and MRC. The performances of all these estimators are investigated in realistic noisy environments with different kinds of scattering and different numbers of diversity branches. Our simulation results reveal that a two-branch envelope level crossing rate estimator provides a performance gain. In terms of the implementation complexity, the SC-based estimator is superior to MRC, as it does not need channel estimation.

In this paper, two subband implementations of a frequency invariant beamformer (FIB) are studied. In the first structure, the received array signals are split into subbands and an FIB is operated in each of the corresponding decimated subbands, with a potential of achieving a lower computational complexity. As the spatio-temporal distribution of the subband signals is different from the original fullband signal, a modified design method of the FIB is proposed. Based on the subband implementation, we then change the sensor spacings of different subband signals so that lower frequency bands have a larger spacing, which results in a class of FIBs with scaled aperture with improved performance in lower frequencies. Several design examples are given to show the performance of our new structures.

In this contribution, we further examine our previous studies on the nonlinear texture image modelling based on Volterra series. The observed image, which is assumed to be expressed as an output of a two dimensional Volterra filter driven by a Gaussian input image, is corrupted by an independent Gaussian random noise. Both of the input image and filter parameters are unknown and hence, the problem can be classified as blind system identification. To estimate the unknown parameters, we formulate the equations that relate the parameters of the image model with the cumulant properties of the observed output image. The solution of the formulated equations which are highly nonlinear, is achieved through minimax type of optimization.

In this work, the idea of cross-layer design for wireless sensor networks is exploited to improve the network performance. We present a new energy efficient cooperative routing scheme with space diversity using space-time block codes (STBCs) as well as the link quality. In our solution, the selected multiple nodes act as multiple transmitting and receiving antennas. Full diversity from the orthogonal STBC is utilized to overcome multipath fading and to enhance power efficiency. The steady state network performance measures, such as, network throughput and delay are analyzed via Markov chain modelling. Compared with the traditional single relay routing method and the single receiving diversity routing method, our proposed method outperforms the other two in low SNR environments and provides higher throughput and similar delay in high SNR environments.

The problem of texture characterisation is attempted using a two-dimensional (2-D) autoregressive (AR) modelling technique. Each distinct texture is represented by a different set of 2-D AR model coefficients. A method to estimate AR model coefficients is proposed by relating the extended Yule-Walker system of equations in the third-order statistical domain to the same system in the second-order statistical domain using a constrained optimisation formulation. This method is applied to an image with a constant texture in block-by-block process, so that a number of sets of AR model coefficients are obtained. The minimum hierarchical clustering technique and a weighting scheme are then applied to these sets of coefficients, in order to obtain the final estimation.

In this paper, we present the development of a digital image retrieval technique using autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture feature. Autocorrelogram is a color feature that is able to incorporate the spatial correlation of alike color and is tolerant to large changes in appearance, color, contrast, and brightness. A wavelet transform is used to analyze the textures that are characterized by their energy distribution in each sub-band. We propose an integration of the autocorrelogram and wavelet based texture to improve the performance of the image retrieval system. Experimental results suggest that the proposed integration offers much better performance than using the features separately.

The causes of over-expression for many diseases are typically unknown, but current studies show that copy number aberrations may be strong candidates for driving gene overexpression. We present the use of the generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) for simultaneously identifying relevant influences common to only copy numbers, gene expression, or both measurements in conjunction. These groups are reported and gene ontology (GO) annotations are used as a functional assessment of the groupings accompanied by probabilistic significance obtained by combinatorics. We illustrate this method for two independently published studies of pancreatic cancer and breast cancer, where public gene expression and DNA copy number data is provided and measured across numerous tumor cell lines.

In VLSI design, crossings of interconnections occupy space and cause delay. In particular, it is desirable to have planar networks for FPGA synthesis and sub-micron LSIs, since delays in the interconnections and crossings are comparable to the delays for logic circuits. Decision diagrams (DDs) provide a simple technology mapping, and planar DDs result in planar networks. In this paper, we present a deterministic method to construct planar Linearly Transformed Binary Decision Diagrams (BDDs) by Walsh transform spectral coefficients.
