Joint source/channel coding and MAP decoding of arithmetic codes
No full textIn this paper, a novel maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimation approach is employed for error correction of arithmetic codes with a forbidden symbol. The system is founded on the principle of joint source channel coding, which allows one to unify the arithmetic decoding and error correction tasks into a single process, with superior performance compared to traditional separated techniques. The proposed system improves the performance in terms of error correction with respect to a separated source and channel coding approach based on convolutional codes, with the additional great advantage of allowing complete flexibility in adjusting the coding rate. The proposed MAP decoder is tested in the case of image transmission across the additive white Gaussian noise channel and compared against standard forward error correction techniques in terms of performance and complexity. Both hard and soft decoding are taken into account, and excellent results in terms of packet error rate and decoded image quality are obtained
Bayesian population inference for effective connectivity
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (p. 157-169).A hierarchical model based on the Multivariate Autoregessive (MAR) process is proposed to jointly model functional neuroimaging time series collected from multiple subjects, and to characterize the distribution of MAR coefficients across the population from which those subjects were drawn. Thus, model-based inference about the interaction between brain regions, termed effective connectivity, may be generalized beyond those subjects studied. The posterior density of population- and subject-level connectivity parameters is estimated in a Variational Bayesian (VB) framework, and structural model parameters are chosen by the corresponding evidence criterion. The significance of resulting connectivity statistics are evaluated by permutation-based approximations to the null distribution. The method is demonstrated on simulated data and on actual multi-subject functional time series from electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).by Eric Richard Cosman, Jr.Ph.D
Throughput and Delay Analysis for Real-Time Applications in Ad-Hoc Cognitive Networks
No full textWe consider a simple ad-hoc cognitive scenario with two data up-links, one licensed to use the spectral resource (primary) and the other unlicensed (secondary or cognitive). It is assumed that the cognitive link accesses the channel only when the channel is sensed idle. An ON-OFF channel model is used for the primary link, where traffic statistical characteristics are taken into account. A closed-form expression for the signal-to noise-plus interference (SINR) statistics of the cognitive nodes is derived that can be used for estimating the network performance. Moreover, a M/G/1 queueing model is exploited for deriving a simple expression for the average packet delay. Finally, a MAC strategy based on a channel-and-queue aware scheduling is introduced
