in this paper, downlink resource allocation for a sparse code multiple access (scma) based heterogeneous  cellular networks (hcn) is investigated. the main aim of this paper is to obtain joint power allocation and codebook assignment to achieve the least total system transmit power. in this regard, the proposed objective function is formulated as total transmit power subject to users minimum ra...

the problem of downward continuation of the gravity field from the earth’s surface to the reference ellipsoid arises from the fact that the solution to the boundary value problem for geoid determination without applying stokes formula is sought in terms of the disturbing potential on the ellipsoid but the disturbing gravity observations are only available on the earth’s surface. downward contin...

in this paper, an iterative method is proposed for solving the matrix inverse problem $ax=b$ for hermitian-generalized hamiltonian matrices with a submatrix constraint. by this iterative method, for any initial matrix $a_0$, a solution $a^*$ can be obtained in finite iteration steps in the absence of roundoff errors, and the solution with least norm can be obtained by choosing a special kind of...

C often decry an earnings-focused short-term orientation of management that eschews spending on risky, long-term projects such as innovation to boost a firm’s stock price. Such critics assume that stock markets react positively to announcements of immediate earnings but negatively to announcements of investments in innovation that have an uncertain long-term pay off. Contrary to this position, ...

DSP-enhanced intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM/DD) systems can support up to 56 Gb/s over 100 km signal transmissions at C-band. To achieve higher data rates and longer transmission distances, we propose data-aided iterative algorithm (DIA) decision-directed DIA (DD-DIA) digitally mitigate signal-signal beating interference (SSBI) without requiring any modifications physical layer struc...

In PET imaging listmode is an alternative for projections to store the acquisition data with more accuracy. The reconstruction starting from the listmode format requires different approaches than projection based algorithms. The ML-EM algorithm was modified to start from the listmode format. For listmode data mage degrading effects can be classified into two groups. Internal LOR effects (like a...
