Near-far resistant data detectors for frequency selective fading channels are proposed for the uplink of code-division multiple-access (CDMA) mobile communication systems. Parallel interference cancellation (PIC) is used to suppress the multiple-access interference (MAI) in the receiver. In order to improve the MAI estimates, the multistage principle is used. In this paper, three main issues ha...

Unit commitment (UC) is a key operational problem in power systems used to determine an optimal daily or weekly generation commitment schedule. Incorporating uncertainty in this already difficult mixed-integer optimization problem introduces significant computational challenges. Most existing stochastic UC models consider either a two-stage decision structure, where the commitment schedule for ...

ABSTRACT This paper deals with the efficient transmission of JPEG compressed images over Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems using spatial multiplexing. By exploiting the spatial multiplexing using multiple antennas; data-rate, reliability, and throughput can be improved. The JPEG compressed image is divided into different quality layer and the antenna path with highest Signal to Inte...

We introduce and analyze “multistage situations”, which generalize “multistage games” (which, in turn, generalize “repeated games”). One reason for this generalization is to avoid the perhaps unrealistic constraint inherent to noncooperative games that the set of strategy tuples must be a Cartesian product of the strategy sets of the players. Another reason is that in most economic and social a...

Single bus multiprocessor systems do not scale well due to the limited bandwidth of the bus. Hierarchical bus interconnections are scalable, but unfortunately the top level bus becomes a bottleneck for larger systems. In this paper we present a novel interconnection network called the Multistage Bus Network(MBN). The MBN consists of multiple stages of buses and it preserves the bandwidth proper...
