Introduction: Recent studies of Computed Tomography (CT) conducted on patient dose reduction have recommended using an iterative reconstruction algorithm and mA (mili-Ampere) dose modulation. The current study aimed to evaluate Iterative Dose Reduction Algorithm (IDREAM) as an iterative reconstruction algorithm. Material and Methods: Two CT p...

This article presents an iterative minimum mean square error(MMSE-) based method for the joint estimation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and frequency-selective channel in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) context. We estimate the SNR thanks to the MMSE criterion and the channel frequency response by means of the linear MMSE (LMMSE). As each estimation requires the other one ...

Cochannel speech separation aims to separate two speech signals from a single mixture. In a supervised scenario, the identities of two speakers are given, and current methods use pre-trained speaker models for separation. One issue in model-based methods is the mismatch between training and test signal levels. We propose an iterative algorithm to adapt speaker models to match the signal levels ...

In this paper, an iterative time-frequency (TF) synthesis/time-varying ltering algorithm in the discrete Gabor transform domain is proposed. A su cient condition is obtained for the Gabor synthesis and analysis window functions so that the iterative algorithm converges. It is proved that under the condition the algorithm converges to a signal that has its Gabor transform located exactly in a de...

This paper proposes a new phase estimation algorithm for turbo-coded OFDM systems at low SNR. In the proposed algorithm, phase estimation process is implemented jointly with iterative decoding process. This algorithm uses extrinsic information at each decoding iteration to estimate OFDM carrier phase rotations instead of using pilots. The proposed algorithm iteratively estimates phase rotation ...

In future 2nd-generation digital video broadcasting (DVB-S2) receivers working in ACM (Adaptive Coded Modulation) mode, an unknown residual gain must be estimated before the low-density parity-check (LDPC) decoding stage. Moreover, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) has to be estimated also, since the iterative decoding algorithms, such as those employed to decode LDPC codes, require its knowledge...

Power Line Communication (PLC) has received much attention due to the wide connectivity and availability of power lines. Effective PLC must overcome the harsh and noisy environments inherent in PLC channels. Noise in power lines is modeled as a cyclostationary Gaussian process. In order to achieve reliable communication using power lines, effective measures including error control techniques ne...
