In order to fully utilize the SDD (soft-decision decoding) capacity of the outer codes in a concatenated system, reliability information on the inner decoder outputs (called soft outputs) needs to be provided to the outer decoder. This paper shows that a modif ied MAP algorithm can be effectively and accurately used to generate such information. In the course of the presentation, a metric based...

This paper proposes an improved Object Oriented metrics, which may be used for the high-level design quality assessment of Object Oriented software. An integrated approach has been adopted to get a single class based metrics that may be used for cumulative measure of all aspects of object oriented design (encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism), and hence an indication of quality of class ...

Recent study in wireless sensor networks (WSN) has found that the irregular link quality is a common phenomenon. The irregular link quality, especially link asymmetry, has significant impacts on the design of WSN protocols, such as MAC protocols, neighborhood and topology discovery protocols, and routing protocols. In this paper, we propose asymmetryaware link quality services, including the ne...

Recent studies in wireless sensor networks (WSN) have observed that the irregular link quality is a common phenomenon, rather than an anomaly. The irregular link quality, especially link asymmetry, has significant impacts on the design of WSN protocols. In this paper, we propose two asymmetry-aware link quality services: the neighborhood link quality service (NLQS) and the link relay service (L...

In this manuscript, a novel technique for forward error correction based information reconciliation is proposed, exploiting capacity achieving soft-metric based iteratively decoded block codes. The availability of soft metric and information bits reliability is also employed to efficiently perform channel probing and privacy amplification.

At present, the entire world is moving towards digitalization, including in electric power industry. Digitalization its heyday and a lot of articles reports are devoted to this topic. same time, least digitalized electrical networks distribution that account for very large share systems. The article proposes methodology creating flexible network based on use digital technology. Additionally, we...

While promising for many applications, Electroencephalography (EEG)-based Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are still scarcely used outside laboratories, due to a poor reliability. It is thus necessary to study and fix this reliability issue. Doing so requires to use appropriate reliability metrics to quantify both signal processing and user learning performances. So far, Classification Accuracy...
