Hardware and software design of BMW system for multi-floor localization

open access: yesEURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking, 2017
Although the Micro Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors are capable of providing short-term high positioning accuracy, every positioning result significantly depends on the historical ones, which inevitably leads to the long-term error accumulation ...

Soft metrics and their Performance Analysis for Optimal Data Detection in the Presence of Strong Oscillator Phase Noise [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In this paper, we address the classical problem of maximum-likelihood (ML) detection of data in the presence of random phase noise. We consider a system, where the random phase noise affecting the received signal is first compensated by a tracker ...

Unified scaling of polar codes: Error exponent, scaling exponent, moderate deviations, and error floors [PDF]

open access: yes2015 IEEE International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), 2015
Consider the transmission of a polar code of block length $N$ and rate $R$ over a binary memoryless symmetric channel $W$ and let $P_e$ be the block error probability under successive cancellation decoding. In this paper, we develop new bounds that characterize the relationship of the parameters $R$, $N$, $P_e$, and the quality of the channel $W ...

A Monocular Vision Sensor-Based Obstacle Detection Algorithm for Autonomous Robots

open access: yesSensors, 2016
This paper presents a monocular vision sensor-based obstacle detection algorithm for autonomous robots. Each individual image pixel at the bottom region of interest is labeled as belonging either to an obstacle or the floor.

Can Punctured Rate-1/2 Turbo Codes Achieve a Lower Error Floor than their Rate-1/3 Parent Codes?

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper we concentrate on rate-1/3 systematic parallel concatenated convolutional codes and their rate-1/2 punctured child codes. Assuming maximum-likelihood decoding over an additive white Gaussian channel, we demonstrate that a rate-1/2 non ...

Automatic Detection of Changes in Signal Strength Characteristics in a Wi-Fi Network for an Indoor Localisation System

open access: yesSensors, 2020
This paper faces the issue of changing the received signal strength (RSS) from an observed access point (AP). Such a change can reduce the Quality of Service (QoS) of a Wi-Fi-based Indoor Localisation System. We have proposed a dynamic system based on an

Lowering the Error Floor of LDPC Codes Using Cyclic Liftings

open access: yes, 2010
Cyclic liftings are proposed to lower the error floor of low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes. The liftings are designed to eliminate dominant trapping sets of the base code by removing the short cycles which form the trapping sets.

Differential Amplify-and-Forward Relaying in Time-Varying Rayleigh Fading Channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
This paper considers the performance of differential amplify-and-forward (D-AF) relaying over time-varying Rayleigh fading channels. Using the auto-regressive time-series model to characterize the time-varying nature of the wireless channels, new weights

Low Error Floor Concatenated LDPC for MIMO Systems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, 2017
Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output, or MIMO is the use of multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance. MIMO technology has attracted attention in wireless communications; because it offers significant increases in data throughput and spectral efficiency without additional bandwidth or increased transmit ...

Polarization‐resolved femtosecond Vis/IR spectroscopy tailored for resolving weak signals in biological samples using minimal sample volume

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Unique biological samples, such as site‐specific mutant proteins, are available only in limited quantities. Here, we present a polarization‐resolved transient infrared spectroscopy setup with referencing to improve signal‐to‐noise tailored towards tracing small signals. We provide an overview of characterizing the excitation conditions for polarization‐
