View description>>

Mobile ad hoc networks are data networks entirely made up of enduser communication terminals (known as nodes). Each node in the network can act as an information sink (i.e. a receiver), a source and a router. All nodes have a transmission range, which is limited by their transmission power, attenuation and interference. Mobile ad hoc networks have a number of disadvantages over wired networks. These include limited bandwidth in the wireless medium, limited power supply and mobility. The traditional routing algorithms such as DBF will not work in such networks due to lack of scalability and ability to cope with highly mobile networks. Recently, a number of routing protocols have been designed to overcome these issues. These protocols can be classified into three different categories: global, on-demand and hybrid routing. In this paper, we provide a performance comparison for on-demand routing protocols, which is based on a number of different parameters. This paper also considers which protocol characteristics will produce better performance levels in these networks, and what improvements can be made to further increase the efficiency of some of these routing protocols.

Linear prediction (LP) is the cornerstone of most modern speech compression algorithms. Previously it has been shown that incorporating a weighting function based on the simultaneous masking property of the ear into the calculation of the LP coefficients (SMWLPC) allows the filter to better model the unmasked sections of the input spectrum. This paper conducts a detailed analysis of the implementation of SMWLPC in low rate speech codecs. The analysis allows the cause of inconsistencies in the technique to be identified and solutions formulated. Experimental results show that when combined with the proposed changes, the SMWLPC technique is suitable for implementation in any low rate LP based speech codec and the net result is an improvement in the perceptual quality of synthesised speech for all speakers.

Background and Purpose—Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression is increased in brain after cerebral ischemia, although little is known about its abundance and role in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A TNF-α–specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ORF4-PE) was used to study the extent to which TNF-α expression influenced neurobehavioral outcomes and brain damage in a collagenase-induced ICH model in rat.Methods—Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized, and ICH was induced by intrastriatal administration of heparin and collagenase. Immediately before or 3 hours after ICH induction, ORF4-PE was administered directly into the site of ICH. TNF-α mRNA and protein levels were measured by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction and immunoblot analyses. Cell death was measured by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase–mediated uridine 5′triphosphate-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL). Neurobehavioral deficits were measured for 4 weeks after ICH.Results—ICH induction (n=6) elevated TNF-α mRNA and protein levels (P<0.01) at 24 hours after the onset of injury compared with sham controls (n=6). Immunohistochemical labeling indicated that ICH was accompanied by elevated expression of TNF-α in neutrophils, macrophages, and microglia. Administration of ORF4-PE (2.0 nmol) directly into striatal parenchyma, 15 minutes before (n=4) or 3 hours after (n=6) ICH, decreased levels of TNF-α mRNA (P<0.001) and protein (P<0.01) in the brain tissue surrounding the hematoma compared with animals treated with saline alone (n=6). Mean±SEM striatal cell death (cells per high-powered field) was also reduced in animals receiving ORF4-PE (34.1±5.0) compared with the saline-treated ICH group (80.3±7.50) (P<0.001). ORF4-PE treatment improve...

This letter presents a near-far resistant detection scheme for asynchronous code-division multiple access with frequency offset. Based on a one-shot technique and Taylor expansion, a zeroth-order and a first-order one-shot linear decorrelating detector (LDD) are proposed. The zeroth-order LDD has simple architecture but suffers performance degradation for large frequency offset. The first-order one-shot LDD, with increased complexity, has very good near-far resistant property even for large frequency offset. Two versions of the first-order one-shot LDD are investigated according to different Taylor expansion approaches. The feasibility of the proposed detectors is demonstrated by computer simulations.

AbstractPlanar photonic bandgap structures have been modeled using the theory of transmission lines and periodic circuits. The method allows for fast and accurate computation of the dispersion diagram, and thus prediction of the stopbands for two directions of propagation. Results obtained by the proposed analytic method are in agreement with previously published numerical data for two structures. Additional numerical evaluations of the reflection phase with the finite‐difference time‐domain (FDTD) method confirm the validity of the analytic model within the limits of its applicability. They also further confirm previous observations that wave propagation in directions other than two principal axes results in a narrower stopband. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

In this paper, we present new results on Temporal Decomposition (TD) applied to the Line Spectral Frequencies (LSFs) derived for wideband speech. The paper shows that by incorporating a dynamic programming search algorithm into TD, near transparent quantisation of wideband LSFs can be obtained at approximately 1 kbps. We also show that TD performs significantly better than Split Vector Quantisation at low bit rates. We propose that TD is a promising approach to low rate wideband speech coding for applications such as unicast streaming.

A new antenna concept, dielectric-resonator-on-patch (DROP), is presented as a way of improving the bandwidth of dielectric-resonator antennas. Driven by the objective of developing a simple low-profile antenna (height < 1 cm) for 5GHz UNII-band wireless portable computers, an example DROP antenna was designed and an excellent input return loss (> 15dB) was achieved over the entire band from 5.150 - 5.825 GHz. This design not only validates the DROP concept but also highlights its potential as a small, low-cost, lightweight antenna for mobile and wireless applications.

Audio stream segregation is a task performed constantly by the human auditory system, yet is difficult to reproduce with a computer. The research detailed in this paper looks at performing just one method of stream segregation, the temporal coherence boundary, using a fuzzy clustering system. The main focus of the paper is to examine the effectiveness of several time-frequency distributions as the features vectors for the system. Three time-frequency distributions are examined and their effectiveness evaluated in terms of correct separation and computational complexity. The main evaluation compares the popular gamma-tone filterbank with the MPEG-7 Audio Spectrum Envelope. The results are promising indicating the less computationally expensive MPEG-7 descriptor performs well; implying stream segregation may be possible using the MPEG-7 Audio low-level description scheme.

A significant challenge in today's Internet is the ability to efficiently introduce intelligent network services into commercial high-performance network devices. This paper tackles the challenge by introducing the active flow manipulation (AFM) mechanism, a key enabling technology of the programmable networking platform Openet. AFM enhances the control functionality of network devices through programmability. With AFM, customer network services can exercise intelligent network control by identifying specific flows and applying particular actions thereby altering their behavior in real time. These services are dynamically deployed in the CPU-based control plane and are closely coupled with the silicon-based forwarding plane of the network node, without negatively impacting forwarding performance. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated by several experimental applications on a commercial network node

View description>>

This paper considers low-rate Waveform Interpolation (WI) coding. It compares the existing, common Slowly Evolving Waveform (SEW) quantisation scheme with two new schemes for representing and quantising the SEW. The first scheme uses a minimum phase estimate to reconstruct the SEW whilst the second scheme uses a pulse model whose parameters are implicitly transmitted in the quantised rapidly evolving waveform (REW). These new schemes maintain or reduce the bit rate required for transmission of the SEW. Results indicate that, for low rate WI coding, necessarily coarse SEW magnitude spectrum quantisation limits the contribution of the SEW to perceptual quality. Perceptual tests indicate that avoiding coarse spectral shape quantisation and using a fixed shape model that lends itself to smooth interpolation, maintains the perceptual quality of the synthesized speech. The proposed fixed shape model requires no bits for transmission, allowing a 12 percent reduction in the overall coder bit rate.

This paper describes a new audio coding scheme based on sinusoidal coding of signals. Sinusoidal coding permits the representation of a given signal through the summation of sinusoids. The parameters of the sinusoids (the amplitudes, phases and frequencies) are transmitted to allow the signal reconstruction. In the proposed scheme, the sinusoidal parameters are sorted according to energy content and perceptual significance. The most significant parameters are transmitted first allowing the use of only a small set of the parameters for signal reconstruction. The proposed scheme incurs a low delay and uses a 20 ms frame length. Results show that the coder operating at a mean rate of 39 kb/s, performs favorably in comparison with the MPEG-4 coder at 42 kb/s. © 2001 IEEE.

© 2001 IEEE. Image edge detection in computer vision and image processing is a process which detects one kind of significant feature in an image that appears as large delta values in intensities. In this paper, a parallel algorithmic skeleton for edge detection is proposed based on the Spiral Architecture and the Gaussian multi-scale theory. UNIX-based network programming mechanisms in C are used for the implementation on a cluster of Sun-workstations. Our work provides an efficient algorithm for edge detection and is robust to noise.

In this paper, we present an application layer quality of service (QoS) control protocol (QCP), which employs an additive-increase bandwidth feedback algorithm. The protocol enhances the communication between end nodes and "the network" by a QoS packet sent from the source for per n video frames. The destination calculates the delay jitter, throughput for per QoS interval, and sends a backward QoS packet to the source. Upon the receipt of a QoS packet, the source use the delay and the bandwidth contained in the QoS packet to adjusts its sending rate. The protocol is well suited for real-time rate-adaptive video streams. The primary goal is to be easy to implement and provide an efficient application layer QoS control. Through extensive simulations, we conclude that the protocol could be able to control the jitter, delay and loss very efficiently. © 2001 IEEE.

n this paper, we proposed a novel weight-based bandwidth allocation algorithm (WBA) for transporting compressed video traffic using feedback. Extensive simulation using a modified NIST simulator is conducted to evaluate its performance under a general weight-based share policy. Our results demonstrate that the WBA algorithm is capable of allocating bandwidth fairly for the minimum cell rate (MCR) plus weighted allocation fairness criteria among competitive compressed video sources, and is capable of reallocating smoothly when there are renegotiations of the minimum guaranteed cell rate and weight by some connections. We also show that WBA algorithm is flexible for the reallocation when a new connection is admitted. Furthermore, when unutilized network bandwidth becomes available, our algorithm is capable of exploiting it to dynamically allocate unused bandwidth

In this paper, we propose a network bandwidth sharing algorithm, Peak Cell Rate (PCR)-based Fair Intelligent Bandwidth Allocation (PFIBA) for transporting rate-adaptive video traffic using feedback, and report on its performance under a general PCR-based share policies. Through extensive simulations, we obtained following results. The PFIBA algorithm is capable of allocating bandwidth fairly for the minimum cell rate (MCR) plus PCR-proportional fairness criteria among competitive rate-adaptive video sources, is capable to reallocate smoothly when there are renegotiations of the minimum guaranteed cell rate or PCR by some connections, is able to reallocate smoothly when a new connection is admitted, and is able to reallocate smoothly when a connection is throttled somewhere earlier along the connection path. Furthermore, we show the algorithm prevents congestion, especially during the initial periods when buffer queues can build up significantly

This paper presents a fast Method of Moments (MoM) to analyze microstrip circuits and antennas. The method is based on a new closed-form Green's function derived by the authors. Using the new Green's function, one can evaluate analytically the matrix elements involved in the MoM and improve the computational efficiency significantly without compromising the precision.
