This paper presents the bit error rate (BER) upper bounds for trellis coded asymmetric 8PSK (TC-A8PSK) system using the Ka-band satellite in the rain fading environment. The probability density function (PDF) for the rain fading random variable can be theoretically derived by assuming that the rain attenuation can be approximated to a log-normal distribution and the rain fading parameters are c...

Although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. By the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. There are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. Another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...

We propose a novel variational method for Magnetic Resonance Image denoising which is based on the modelling of Rician noise. In the context of MAP estimation the resulting energy functional is minimized embedding its Euler-Lagrange equation in an iterative regularization scheme. The algorithm is tested with synthetic MR images and the results show the effectiveness of the method which provides...

With the growing demand in modern communication, it has become necessary to give better and efficient service to users by using better technique. Technique such as Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), Frequency Shift Keying (FSK), Phase Shift Keying (PSK), Differential Phase shift Keying (DPSK) and Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) are very important parts of the implementation of modern communica...

-An analytical technique is presented for computing the exact union bound on the average bit error probability of trellis coded modulation schemes over Rayleigh, Rician, or shadowed Rician-fading channels. To this end, an integral expression is derived fior the painvise error event probability (PEP). Existing bounds can be obtained as special cases of this expression. It turns out that a Gauss-...

There has been recent interest in characterizing UHF propagation within buildings and houses. Factory radio channels, however , have not been discussed previously in the literature. This paper details the results of narrow-hand propagation measurements performed at five factories. The extensive empirical data indicate that path loss is dependent upon local surroundings and is log-normally distr...

An analytical expression of the cumulative distribution function (cdf) of the normalized signal-to-noise ratio SNR of the maximum ratio combiner (MRC) in correlated Rician fading channels has been derived. The expression is expressed as an infinite power series which can be computed very fast by truncation to a finite number of terms. The analytical expression can handle any number of receiving...
