In this paper we analyze the problem of the joint channel-data estimation in fast fading channels. We propose a hybrid structure which respectively associates the Kalman filter and particle filtering for the channel and data estimation. We compare this solution with the classical reduced complexity methods. We show that the application of particle filtering to the discrete state space of the da...

In this paper, a new iterative pilot-aided algorithm based on expectation conditional maximization (ECM) for joint estimation of Wiener phase noise (PHN) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. Next, a new expression for the hybrid Cramér-Rao lower bound (HCRB) for joint estimation of PHN and CFO in OFDM systems is derived. Nu...

In the aftermath of a large-scale disaster, agents’ decisions derive from self-interested (e.g. survival), common-good (e.g. victims’ rescue) and teamwork (e.g. fire extinction) motivations. However, decision-theoretic models find it difficult to incorporate motivations, and mental-state models find it difficult to deal with uncertainty. We present an hybrid, CvI-JI, approach that combines: i) ...

In this paper, an adaptive resource management scheme for hybrid WWAN/WLAN is proposed. Based on proposed joint velocity and average received power (ARP) estimation algorithms, a novel vertical handoff (VHO) for efficient load balancing in multitier network is developed. Simulation results show that proposed scheme achieves significant improvements over conventional schemes.

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

This paper proposes a new method for solving Bayesian decision problems. The method consists of representing a Bayesian decision problem as a valuation-based system and applying a fusion algorithm for solving it. The fusion algorithm is a hybrid of local computational methods for computation of marginals of joint probability distributions and the local computational methods for discrete optimiz...

Iterative learning procedures on hybrid electro-optic systems are employed to generate complex discriminant reference functions. The procedures are implemented experimentally on a joint-transform correlator by using a single inexpensive spatial light modulator. High-quality class discrimination is demonstrated even in the presence of noise.

Multiple input multiple output (MIMO) and hybrid–automatic repeat request (ARQ) mechanisms play a key role in the evolution of current wireless communications systems towards high data rate wireless packet access. In MIMO techniques, the spatial dimension of the MIMO channel is exploited through the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver sides. This translates into an imp...

This paper presents the clinical motivation, design specifications, kinematics, statics, and actuation compensation for a newly constructed telerobotic system for Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) of the throat. A hybrid dual-arm telesurgical slave, with twenty joint-space Degrees of Freedom (DoF), is used in this telerobotic system to provide the necessary dexterity in deep surgical fields such...
