Squirrel monkeys (Saimiri sciureus) were infected experimentally with the agent of classical bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE). Two to four years later, six of the monkeys developed alterations in interactive behaviour and cognition and other neurological signs typical of transmissible spongiform encephalopathy (TSE). At necropsy examination, the brains from all of the monkeys showed pathological...
The resource allocation problem to maximize the bit rate of a linear precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LP-OFDM) system is considered taking into account the effects of imperfect channel state information. A discrete bit loading algorithm is proposed, which sustains the target bit error rate even under high mean square error (MSE) of estimation. The proposed scheme enhances the robustness...
The bit loading algorithms are proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and linear pre- coded OFDM under power spectral density and mean bit error rate (BER) constraints. These algorithms maximize the bit rate of the system while respecting a mean BER. The advantages of both linear procoded OFDM and classical OFDM are analyzed under different scenarios. It is shown that the proposed...
The problem of minimization of mean bit error rate (BER) of a linear precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LP-OFDM) system is considered. The discrete bit loading algorithms are proposed, which minimize the mean BER of the system for a target bit rate under a peak power constraint. The results are shown for a power line communication system using a well-known multipath channel model...
Challenging networks require transmission protocols able to deal with the specificities of the environment. These adverse conditions include very long delays (delays in hours are normal), episodic connectivity, asymmetric data rates, higher bit error rate (The raw BERs are in the order of 10-2), very high free space losses (around 250-300 dB) and power constraints that may severely compromise the...
