(BER) results at 875 Mbps are achieved with directional antennas.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether error-related potentials can be used to increase information transfer rate of a P3 brain-computer interface (BCI) in healthy and motor-impaired individuals. METHODS Extraction and classification of the error-related potential was performed offline on data recorded from six amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. An online study with 17 healthy and six mo...

This paper considers interference limited communication systems where the desired user and interfering users are symbol-synchronized. A novel adaptive beamforming technique is proposed for quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) receiver based directly on minimizing the bit error rate. It is demonstrated that the proposed minimum bit error rate (MBER) approach utilizes the system resource (antenna...

Monte Carlo simulations, with their inherent uncertainty, are often used to determine the bit error rate of digital communication systems operating in the presence of noise. To assess the noise margin in a system operating with an acceptable bit error rate, this noisy functional relationship must be inverted. We describe a novel technique with improved speed and comparable accuracy for estimati...
