'94 , but the numerical results has not been fully provided with varying decision threshold. In this paper, the performance of the PIC receiver using null zone hard decision is shown in a Rayleigh fading channel. Also, a new PIC receiver with an adaptive decision threshold is proposed. In the proposed new PIC receiver, the decision threshold for partial cancellation is adjusted according to the...

An improved proportionate adaptive filter based on the Maximum Correntropy Criterion (IP-MCC) is proposed for identifying the system with variable sparsity in an impulsive noise environment. Utilization of MCC mitigates the effect of impulse noise while the improved proportionate concepts exploit the underlying system sparsity to improve the convergence rate. Performance analysis of the propose...

This paper investigates the scope of usage of fuzzy logic to beat the effect of multiple access interference (MAI) through block parallel interference cancellation (BPIC) in a synchronous Carrier Interferometry/MC-CDMA uplink system. The users are classified in different blocks like very strong, strong, weak and very weak based on fuzzy membership function derived from the magnitude of the rece...

We investigate how photoionization, electron avalanches and space charge affect the inception of nanosecond pulsed discharges. Simulations are performed with a 3D PIC-MCC (particlein-cell, Monte Carlo collision) model with adaptive mesh refinement for the field solver. This model, whose source code is available online, is described in the first part of the paper. Then we present simulation resu...

In this paper a new systematic PIC-STBC (Partial Interference Cancellation Space Time Block Code) design is proposed for MIMO (Multi-input Multi-output) systems for any transmit antennas. The proposed code uses PIC decoding scheme to decode transmitted symbols at the receiver. The Proposed PIC group STBC design which achieves full diversity and has higher code rate compared with the best known ...

Self-organized striated structures of the plasma emission have recently been observed in capacitive radio-frequency CF4 plasmas by phase resolved optical emission spectroscopy (PROES) and their formation was analyzed and understood by particle in cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) simulations (Liu et al 2016 Phys. Rev. Lett. 116 255002). The striations were found to result from the periodic g...

A 1D in position and 2D in velocity Particle in Cell with Monte Carlo Collision model of a low-pressure nitrogen discharge plasma has been coupled to a 1D reaction-diffusion kinetics for the whole vibrational ladder of the N2(X) state, for the vibrationally lumped N2(A), N2(B), N2(C), N2(a') states as well as for N atoms. The model includes several electron-molecule as well as molecule-molecule...
