In a MIMO wireless communications system, a space-time block code specifies how the data symbols are transmitted over different antennas at different time instants. A hybrid space-time code attempts to obtain some of the available diversity and multiplexing gains, achieving low error probability and high data rate. The LD StBc-VBLAST hybrid code layers one spatial-multiplexing antenna (to increase...
The full potential of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless technology can be achieved through iterative MIMO decoding with soft information. In iterative MIMO decoder, the complexity can be major obstacle for practical implementation. The soft interference cancellation-minimum mean squared error (SIC-MMSE) approach for detection is considered as a feasible approach due to its complexity-performance...
Sparse-code multiple-access (SCMA) is a novel multiplexing method to increase the capacity of wireless communication systems. By giving users non-orthogonal codebook with few non-zero entries, the SCMA approach can highly improve the spectral efficiency, compared with traditional orthogonal ones such as CDMA, with tolerable detection complexity. Therefore, it has been considered as an option for 5G...
Sparse code multiple access (SCMA) is a promising non-orthogonal multiple access scheme to support massive connectivity. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme to analyze the performance of Low-density Parity-check (LDPC) codes in SCMA systems based on density evolution (DE) theory. In particular, we develop the combination method including channel adapter and log-likelihood ratio (LLR) convertor...
Viterbi detectors are widely used in data recording channels in the timing loop as well as in the digital back end before error-correction decoding to detect data in the presence of inter-symbol interference (ISI) and noise. Further, soft reliability values assist in the decoding of outer codes. The state-of-the-art implementations of the Viterbi algorithm are synchronous which consider the ‘worst-case’...
A background subtraction algorithm using an encoderdecoder structured convolutional neural network is proposed in this work, in order to segment out moving objects from the background. A target frame, its previous frame, and a background model are concatenated and fed into the network as the input. Then, the encoder generates a highlevel feature vector, and the decoder converts the feature vector...
With the technology scaling of solid state drives (SSDs), data reliability has to be ensured by advanced Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes. As LDPC reads often take high latency, read performance involved in traditional garbage collection, called external GC, is largely decreased, which affects system performance. GC can choose not to correct data with LD-PC codes but just copy valid pages into...
Differential spatial modulation (DSM) is a novel attractive alternative technique for coherent spatial modulation (CSM) without channel state information (CSI) at the receiver. In this paper, iterative detection is firstly employed to improve the performance of DSM schemes. With the Hamming distance of two matrices reduced to the sum of simple elements, a lowcomplexity iterative detection scheme for...
The rapid growth of commercial cellular and personal communication systems has increased the demand for high data rate, power and bandwidth efficient transmissions. Advanced coding and modulation techniques are suitable candidates for this purpose as the potential to reduce the symbol period is often limited by the multipath-induced intersymbol interference (ISI). In this paper, a scheme that jointly...
It is known that by extracting log-likelihood ratio (LLR) values from the received MIMO signals, a MIMO detector is able to exchange a posteriori soft information with a channel decoder to improve the error performance. A minimum mean-square error with parallel interference cancellation (MMSE-PIC) detector is considered to be a practical MIMO detector, but the computational complexity for the LLR...
Corner-like features are important in computer vision problems such as object matching, tracking, recognition, and retrieval. Most corner detectors operate in the pixel domain, which means that they require image or video to be fully decoded and reconstructed before detection can start. In this paper we describe a method for generating corner proposals from compressed HEVC bitstreams without full...
Space-time trellis codes (STTCs) combine channel coding and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques to provide coding and diversity gains for wireless communication systems. The decoding complexity is extremely high because of the high density of branch metric calculations. Thus, this study presents a state-purging mechanism based on the T-algorithm to reduce the computational complexity...
Reliability of Network-on-Chip has become a critical problem because of the aggressive technology scaling. A variety of transmission mechanism to tolerant the bit errors has been proposed to achieve the best trade-off between performance and overhead. In this work, a transmission mechanism for NoC based on a novel combination of error detection, error correction, and retransmission is proposed. The...
In this paper, a multi-wavelength optical code-division multiple-access scheme that involves cascading two arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) routers is proposed. The proposed cascaded AWG scheme can be used to obtain the time-varying-crosstalk-induced beat noise depending on the network transmission state. The crosstalk information can be obtained immediately and applied to adjust the threshold by setting...
This work studies the performance of a cooperative network which consists of two channel-coded sources, multiple relays, and one destination. Due to the spectral efficiency constraint, we assume that a single time slot is dedicated to relaying. Conventional network-coded based cooperation (NCC) selects the best relay which uses network coding to serve the two sources simultaneously. It is shown that...
In this paper the design of an LED-based beaconing infrastructure is introduced, which can be utilized in indoor localization systems. The LED beacons, which may be part of the existing lighting infrastructure, are blinking with high frequency invisible for human eyes, while the detectors are regular cameras. Since the sampling frequency of the cameras is much lower than the blinking frequency, the...
Novelty detection is the task of recognising events the differ from a model of normality. This paper proposes an acoustic novelty detector based on neural networks trained with an adversarial training strategy. The proposed approach is composed of a feature extraction stage that calculates Log-Mel spectral features from the input signal. Then, an autoencoder network, trained on a corpus of “normal”...
Two-dimensional (2D) modulation encoding [1] is one of the effective solutions that was used to take action with severe intertrack interference (ITI) effect in two-dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) [2] system.
Bit-patterned media recording (BPMR) has been developed into an aggressive technology for the next-generation of hard disc drives (HDDs), aiming to extend storage density as well as to integrate into an HDD [1].
In magnetic recording system, each track or sector may suffer different distortion and noise levels, for example, media noise, intersymbol interference (ISI)/inter-track interference (ITI), reader sensitivity (in case of multi-reader), resulting in unequal error rates or unequal ISI channels.
