Two dimensional (2-D) inter-symbol-interference (ISI), consisting of ISI in the down track direction and inter-track interference (ITI) along the cross-track direction, is a major factor that severely degrades the performance of ultra-high density magnetic recording systems.
A combination of single parity check-code and Two-Dimensional (2D) Bahl Cocke Jelinek Raviv (BCJR) detector is used in this paper for joint detection and decoding of 2D interference channel. This is applied to a multi-track two dimensional magnetic recording (TDMR) system. The multi-level 2D BCJR detector handled the code constraint while performing joint detection and single parity decoding. Two...
Interference is identified as a critical issue for satellite communication (SATCOM) systems and services. There is a growing concern in the satellite industry to manage and mitigate interference efficiently. While there are efficient techniques to monitor strong interference in SATCOM, weak interference is not so easily detected because of its low interference to signal and noise ratio (ISNR). To...
Current diarization algorithms are commonly applied to the outputs of single non-moving microphones. They do not explicitly identify the content of overlapped segments from multiple speakers or acoustic events. This paper presents an acoustic environment aware child-adult diarization applied to the audio recorded by a single microphone attached to moving targets under realistic high noise conditions...
The FSM-SADF model of computation is especially suitable for analysing real-time applications with input-dependent behaviour such as different modes, variable execution times and scalable parallelism. Although FSM-SADF specifies which scenario transitions are possible, it does not specify how and when they are decided at runtime. Multiple actors of a scenario, e.g. video stream header parsing, may...
This paper investigates the problem of recovering an n-dimensional BPSK signal x0 ∈ {−1, 1}n from m-dimensional measurement vector y = Ax+z, where A and z are assumed to be Gaussian with iid entries. We consider two variants of decoders based on the regularized least squares followed by hard-thresholding: the case where the convex relaxation is from {−1, 1}n to ℝn and the box constrained case where...
In this paper a minimum distance detector is implemented for the first time, to decode equiprobable ultra-wide band (UWB) chipless radio frequency identification (RFID) tags in an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The coding of the UWB chipless tags is performed by changing the position of the resonance dip in order to increase the Euclidean distance (ED) between different codes. Four...
Polar codes under cyclic redundancy check-aided successive cancellation list (CA-SCL) decoding can outperform the turbo codes and the LDPC codes at the cost of high complexity and decoding delay. In order to reduce the decoding complexity, in this paper we propose a hybrid parity-check and CRC aided SCL decoding scheme for polar codes. Simulation results under the binary input additive white Gaussian...
This paper considers a low-complexity Gaussian Message Passing Iterative Detection (GMPID) algorithm for Multiple-Input Multiple-Output systems with Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (MIMO-NOMA), in which a base station with antennas serves sources simultaneously. Both and are very large numbers and we consider the cases that $N_u>N_r$. The GMPID is based on a fully connected...
AprilTags and other passive fiducial markers require specialized algorithms to detect markers among other features in a natural scene. The vision processing steps generally dominate the computation time of a tag detection pipeline, so even small improvements in marker detection can translate to a faster tag detection system. We incorporated lessons learned from implementing and supporting the AprilTag...
In this work, we propose a new framework called sequential reduction (SR) for reducing lattice bases, which harnesses the approximate closest vector problem (εCVP) oracles to sequentially reduce each basis vector. With the best εCVP oracle to serve as the theoretical upper limit of this scheme, our bound on basis lengths can be better than that of Minkowski's reduction under a mild assumption. A practical...
Non-orthogonal multiple access as a promising technology is expected to support massive connectivity in the next generation. In this paper, we propose a novel perfect energy spread transform (P-EST) based multiple access scheme, which perfectly spreads a symbol energy all over the frequency-domain and time-domain increasing the diversity gain of the system. The parameters of the proposed scheme can...
Non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA), which improves spectrum efficiency and system throughput, is one of the promising radio access techniques for 5G. In this paper, NOMA is combined with spatial multiplexing multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology for enhanced spectral efficiency. In multi-stream MIMO signaling, we considered stronger far user's MIMO signal when detecting the near user's...
One challenge in a video surveillance system is the data rate required to represent digital video. Accordingly, the use of lossy video compression at a compression ratio of 100:1, or higher, is an essential part of any distributed live video system. The ensuing distortion can interfere with the goals of surveillance by confounding both human analysis and computer vision based processing. This paper...
In this paper we consider the problem of designing LDPC codes to be used in bit turbo-receivers, where an outer binary (turbo) decoder iterates with a bit-detector computing LLR of coded bits from the channel outputs. This receiver structure has been proposed for several scenarios, including systems for high order modulations, MIMO, ISI, and Multi User systems. It has been shown that the bit turbo-receiver...
Neural-machine interface (NMI) decoding errors challenge the clinical value of neural control of powered artificial legs, because these errors can dangerously disturb the user's walking balance, cause stumbles or falls, and thus threaten the user's confidence and safety in prosthesis use. Although extensive research efforts have been made to minimize the NMI decoding error rate, none of the current...
Assisting patients to perform activity of daily living (ADLs) is a challenging task for both human and machine. Hence, developing a computer-based rehabilitation system to re-train patients to carry out daily activities is an essential step towards facilitating rehabilitation of stroke patients with apraxia and action disorganization syndrome (AADS). This paper presents a real-time hidden Markov model...
This paper considers a iterative Linear Minimum Mean Square Error (LMMSE) detection for the uplink Multiuser Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) systems with Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA). The iterative LMMSE detection greatly reduces the system computational complexity by departing the overall processing into many low-complexity distributed calculations. However, it is generally...

This paper describes the implementation of an Interactive Voice Response System personalized especially for students to obtain any information desired by them in a reliable and timely manner by just placing a normal call, thus being a building block of a smart city...
In recent years, iterative receiver has been widely considered since it is able to achieve high data rates and reliable communications for coded MIMO-OFDM systems. However, such a receiver is extremely challenging in practical implementation. In this paper, we present an efficient fixed-point arithmetic of iterative receiver based on low-complexity K-Best decoder in order to reduce the hardware costs...
