The basic idea of active noise cancellation (ANC)is to generate a controllable secondary source which compensates a noise in a certain spatial region. In headset applications, it is desirable to generate: a secondary source which cancels the acoustic noise field, while preserving the useful audio field. This requires that the cancellation algorithm possess an ability to differentiate between the useful audio signal and the cancellation residual at the secondary-sensor output. This is a formidable task for the conventional linear time-invariant filtering approach. since the Fourier spectra of acoustic noise and the audio signal occupy the same frequency bandwidth. In this paper, a two-sensor ANC scheme is presented with application to a noise-reduction headset. The active noise cancellation carried out is based on the concept of the separation of superimposed signals with complete overlapping spectra by using an almost-symmetrical time-varying autoregressive-moving average model (ASTV-ARMA), The significant advantages of our proposed selective noise cancellation approach are the cancellation of the undesirable noise field and the preservation of the useful audio wave field. Simulation results indicate that a noise reduction of over 30 dB can be achieved, thus resulting in a high-duality audio in the presence of a strong environmental acoustical noise.

The interference immunity of a spread spectrum digital communication system corrupted by interference can be significantly enhanced by excising the interference prior to cross correlation of the received signal with the possible transmitted reference signals. In this paper we treat methods for excising narrowband (partial band) and broadband (impulsive) interference in direct-sequence and frequency-hopped spread spectrum systems. Excision methods based on linear prediction and nonlinear filtering algorithms are shown to be particularly effective for direct-sequence spread spectrum systems corrupted by narrowband interference. We also consider nonlinear excision methods for frequency-hopped spread spectrum systems corrupted by narrowband interference and direct-sequence spread spectrum systems corrupted by broadband (impulsive) interference.

In ATM networks, the purpose of connection admission control is to decide if allowing a new connection into the network violates a quality of service measure of the new connection or the existing connections. Instead of using statistical frame models, we represent the connection entering the network by the connection frame descriptors standardized by the ATM Forum and used by the connection admission control algorithms. We examine traffic sources described by heterogeneous connection frame descriptors in order to analyze constant bit rate sources versus variable bit rate sources, as well as different classes of variable bit rate sources. We use Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the cell loss probability of the combined traffic stream, as well as the individual classes using both random buffer filling and priority buffer filling schemes. Importance sampling is used to increase the efficiency of the simulation. For the experiments example considered, the improvement in simulation efficiency compared to conventional Monte Carlo simulation is inversely proportional to the estimate.

We consider the coding for multi-track magnetic recording systems. We provide analytical results related to uncoded and coded multi-track systems which constitute the basis of the code construction. We have designed matched spectral null codes for multi-track recording systems which give coding gains from 3 dB to 4.8 dB over uncoded systems. We also provide the performance comparisons of such codes under various receiver (head) topologies.

Model-based joint segmentation and recognition of objects is proposed in the framework of parameter estimation of hierarchical mixture densities. The maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimate of the parameters is computed by the application of a modified version of the expectation-maximization algorithm (EM with regularizing constraints applied to multiple level hierarchies). The approach is flexible in the sense that it allows for non-stationary pixel statistics, different noise models and is translation and scale invariant. Simulation results suggest that the scheme is well suited for recognition of partially occluded objects and recognition in complex and poorly modeled background.

CDMA is predicted to be an important method for the third generation wireless communication systems. However, for CDMA to satisfy the need for an increased number of simultaneous users, multiuser interference must be effectively combated. For such cancelers, adaptive methods are quite attractive. We summarize some of the results on adaptive multiuser detection, obtained at the center for Comm. and signalprocessing.

We analyze the performance of linear minimum mean squared error (LMMSE) estimate-based multiuser detector for CDMA communication systems. Through numerical evaluation and computer simulations, we also compare the performance of the LMMSE detector and the adaptive bootstrap multiuser detector. Our analysis and simulations show that even though these two detectors were proposed based on different optimization criteria, they exhibit approximately equal performance in multiuser CDMA communications applications.

Selective reconstruction of objects of interest from a noisy Radon transform (a set of projections) of multiple objects is considered. The projections are separated by using a discrete, generalized version of the recently developed instantaneous matched filter (IMF). In this context, the IMF is reviewed from a discrete viewpoint. A generalized version that does not require an explicit orthogonalization, is described. The projections of the individual object of interest, separated by the generalized IMF, are used to reconstruct the corresponding object.

An orthogonal transmultiplexer (synthesis/analysis filter bank) utilizing DFT (discrete fourier transform) basis is the current DMT (discrete multitone) standard for HDSL communications. The measures of the ICI and ISI distortions in a multicarrier modulation scheme are presented. The ICI and ISI performance of DFT along with other known linear transforms are compared. The issues of optimal basis design for a given channel are discussed. The available design tools of the subband transform theory are highlighted for the future performance improvements.

详细信息
This paper addresses the problem of designing optimal stack filters under the most commonly used error criterion in filter design, namely, the minimum mean square error (MSE) between the desired signal and the estimated signal. It is shown that the MSE can be expressed as a linear combination of the responses of positive Boolean filters to different binary input vectors. As a result, a stack filter which is optimal for signal estimation in the MSE sense can be determined as the solution of a linear program.
