Conditional Power and Rate Adaptation for MQAM/OFDM Systems Under CFO With Perfect and Imperfect Channel Estimation Errors
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015)
In this paper a new conditional power and rate adaptation scheme for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed in the presence of carrier frequency offset (CFO) with perfect and imperfect channel ...

Pathways of connection: An analytical approach to the impacts of public diplomacy
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2015)
Public diplomacy albeit its functional similarities with public relations and other corporate communication tools is inherently a foreign policy tool used by practitioner states to advance their national interests and ...
Optimal Power Allocation Between Training and Data for MIMO Two-Way Relay Channels
(IEEE-INST Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015)
Power allocation between training and data in MIMO two-way relay systems is proposed which takes into consideration both the symmetric and asymmetric cases of the two sources. For the former we present a closed form for ...

IEEE 802.15.4a Based Ultra Wideband Systems for Coexistence with Primary Users
(IEEE, 2015)
Peaceful coexistence is a major implementation issue for both cognitive radios and ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Accordingly the UWB impulse radio (UWB-IR) based Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) standard IEEE 802.15.4a ...
Improving OpenCL programmability with the Heterogeneous Programming Library
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)
The use of heterogeneous devices is becoming increasingly widespread. Their main drawback is their low programmability due to the large amount of details that must be handled. Another important problem is the reduced code ...
Contraction Blockers for Graphs with Forbidden Induced Paths
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2015)
We consider the following problem: can a certain graph parameter of some given graph be reduced by at least d for some integer d via at most k edge contractions for some given integer k? We examine three graph parameters: ...
