This paper deals with an adaptive multiuser detector for direct sequence code division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems. A modified receiver, precombinig LMMSE is considered under time varying channel environment. Detector updating is performed with two criterions, mean square estimation (MSE) and MOE optimization technique. The adaptive implementation issues of these two schemes are quite dif...

This paper investigates several pruning techniques applied on Binary Partition Trees (BPTs) and their usefulness for low-level processing of PolSAR images. BPTs group pixels to form homogeneous regions, which are hierarchically structured by inclusion in a binary tree. They provide multiple resolutions of description and easy access to subsets of regions. Once constructed, BPTs can be used for ...

Several multiple model adaptive control architectures have been proposed in the literature. Despite many advances in theory, the crucial question of how to synthesize the pairs model/controller in a structurally optimal way is to a large extent not addressed. In particular, it is not clear how to place the pairs model/controller is such a way that the properties of the switching algorithm (e.g....

Multiple transmit (Tx) and multiple receive (Rx) antennas systems, referred to as multiple input multiple output (MIMO) systems, have been proposed to achieve higher data rates in wireless communication systems. In this paper, we investigate joint optimization of transmitter and receiver for MIMO system when the channel information is available at both transmitter and receiver. We discuss the p...

The evolution of information technology has resulted in increasingly fragmented digital media and multiple information channels. Organizations can develop comprehensive insights into consumer behavior and preferences by evaluating customers’ perceptions of the various Internet channels that are available. Such insights can be used to identify which information channels can be employed to effect...

Mobile robots that consist of a mobile platform with one or many manipulators mounted on it are of great interest in a number of applications. Combination of platform and manipulator causes robot operates in extended work space. The analysis of these systems includes kinematics redundancy that makes more complicated problem. However, it gives more feasibility to robotic systems because of the e...

In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating multiple structural breaks in a long-memory FARIMA time series. The number of break points as well as their locations, the orders and the parameters of each regime are assumed to be unknown. A selection criterion based on the minimum description length (MDL) principle is proposed and a genetic algorithm is implemented for its optimization. Mo...

We study estimation of mixture models for problems in which multiple views of the instances are available. Examples of this setting include clustering web pages or research papers that have intrinsic (text) and extrinsic (references) attributes. Our optimization criterion quantifies the likelihood and the consensus among models in the individual views; maximizing this consensus minimizes a boun...

This paper deals with the problem of blind interference suppression in Direct-Sequence Code Division Multiple Access (DS/CDMA) channels. We investigate the incorporation of linear constraints to the Constant Modulus (CM) criterion to obtain a new blind adaptive receiver that only requires chip synchronization and acquisition of the desired user code. An analysis is presented that shows how line...

This paper investigates the stability of neutral delay-differential systems with mixed multiple time-varying delay arguments. Based on the Lyapunov functional method, and the relationship between the system states and the derivatives of these states, we present a new asymptotical stability criterion and a new robust stability criterion in terms of only one simple linear matrix inequality (LMI),...
