In hardware implementations of Gaussian Potential Function Neural Networks (GPFNN) deviation from ideal network parameters is inevitable because of the techniques used for parameter storage and implementation of the functions electronically resulting in loss of accuracy. This loss in accuracy can be represented by quantization of the network parameters. In order to predict this effect theoretical approaches are proposed. One-input one-output GPFNN with one hidden layer have been trained as function ...

In this paper a new partial power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO). The conventional adaptive scheme is shown to be a special case of the partially adaptive scheme technique which enables the resulting non-convex optimization problem solved in a feasible way. It leads to a solution for optimal power adaptation that maximizes the spectral efficiency of an OFDM system using M-ary ...

The paper considers two different antenna selection schemes for space-time coded systems over flat fading channels. First we explore antenna selection at the transmitter side based on the received signal to noise ratios. We then study the joint selection of receive and transmit antennas. Both schemes assume a slowly fading channel (i.e. quasi-static fading) and require some limited feedback from the receiver to the transmitter. By computing upper bounds on the pairwise error probabilities and ...

The regulatory agencies in Europe and Japan require the implementation of avoidance techniques in some bands to reduce interference to licensed systems. Accordingly ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) based Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standard IEEE 802.15.4a has suggested using linear combination of pulses to reduce interference to coexisting primary systems. In this paper we consider the implementation of linear combination of pulses for a peaceful coexistence and assess the UWB-IR ...

Visible light communication (VLC) involves the dual use of illumination infrastructure for high speed wireless access. Designing such optical based communication systems realistic indoor optical channel modeling becomes an important issue to be handled. In this paper first we obtain new realistic indoor VL channel characterizations and models in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transmission scenario using non-sequential ray tracing approach for the channel impulse responses (CIRs). Practical ...

We deal with transmit antenna selection for space-time coded (STC) systems over multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channels. Using pairwise error probability analysis and simulation results we show that transmit antenna selection based on received power levels does not reduce the achievable diversity order for full rank STCs. Initially we prove the results for Rayleigh flat fading channels and then we state our expectations for the case of frequency selective (FS) fading. In addition to the ...

In this paper the performance of the low complexity modified stack equalizer over frequency-selective fading channels is inspected. With the help of simulation results it is illustrated that by sacrificing the computational complexity insignificantly the performance of the modified equalizer can be made closer to optimum. This equalizer can be used at the receiver of uncoded systems or bit interleaved coded systems with iterative receivers.

This letter considers the effect of channel estimation errors on the performance of space-time coded (STC) systems with transmit and receive antenna selection over quasi-static flat fading channels. By performing pairwise error probability analysis and presenting numerical examples we show that the diversity order achieved with perfect channel state information (CSI) is still achievable with imperfect CSI used both at the antenna selection and the space-time decoding processes. We note that our ...

The left-right chiral and ferromagnetic-antiferromagnetic double-spin-glass clock model with the crucially even number of states q = 4 and in three dimensions d = 3 has been studied by renormalization-group theory. We find for the first time to our knowledge four spin-glass phases including conventional chiral and quadrupolar spin-glass phases and phase transitions between spin-glass phases. The chaoses in the different spin-glass phases and in the phase transitions of the spin-glass phases with ...
