Extension of Linear Channels Identification Algorithms to Non Linear Using Selected Order Cumulants

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i2.pp334-343
Mohammed Zidane , Said Safi , Mohamed Sabri
In this paper, we present an extension of linear communication channels identification algorithms to non linear channels using higher order cumulants (HOC). In the one hand, we develop a theoretical analysis of non linear quadratic systems using second and third order cumulants. In the other hand, the relationship linking cumulants and the coefficients of non linear channels presented in the linear case is extended to the general case of the non linear quadratic systems identification. This theoretical development is used to develop three non linear algorithms based on third and fourth order cumulants respectively. Numerical simulation results example show that the proposed methods able to estimate the impulse response parameterswith different precision.

A Power Efficient Trust Based SecureRouting Scheme for Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i2.pp417-425
M V Rathnamma , P. Chenna Reddy
MANETs are self-organizing, infrastructure less ad-hoc networks with many challenges like low power, limited storage and limited processing devices. Among all the parameters that affect the network efficiency accuracy, scalability, and power consumption are main challenges in the routing of Mobile ad-hoc networks. The network lifetime is dependent on the power efficiency of the nodes in the network. The protocols have to provide the energy efficient route through intermediate nodes in the network. The trust based routing approach is one of the best mechanisms to establish an energy efficient route between source and destination. In this paper we first propose the family relationship based trust model and then propose a new energy efficient trust based routing protocol to reduce the routing overhead, delay and provides better packet delivery ratio that performs better than the existing routing protocols.

Improved UFIR Tracking Algorithm for Maneuvering Target

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i2.pp344-350
Shoulin Yin , Jinfeng Wang , Tianhua Liu
Maneuvering target tracking is a target motion estimation problem, which can describe the irregular target maneuvering motion. It has been widely used in the field of military and civilian applications. In the maneuvering target tracking, the performance of Kalman filter(KF) and its improved algorithms depend on the accuracy of process noise statistical properties. If there exists deviation between process noise model and the actual process, it will generate the phenomenon of estimation error increasing. Unbiased finite impulse response(UFIR) filter does not need priori knowledge of noise statistical properties in the filtering process. The existing UFIR filters have the problem that generalized noise power gain(GNPG) does not change with measurement of innovation. We propose an improved UFIR filter based on measurement of innovation with ratio dynamic adaptive adjustment at adjacent time. It perfects the maneuvering detect-ability. The simulation results show that the improved UFIR filter has the best filtering effect than KF when process noise is not accurate.

This study is aimed to explore the Heart Rate Variability (HRV) response during short-term exercise by stair stepper and to compare the finding between young healthy male and female subjects. The responses were statistically analyzed by applying independent-samples t-test statistical method. The calculation of Coefficient of Variation (CoV (%)) and the slope of the linear regression is used to assess the steadiness of the HRV. Furthermore, the results also demonstrated that female subjects had greater significant p-value of RMSSD feature and significance p-value in a LF feature is greater in male. Thus, the ongoing results demonstrated that males have the sympathetic drive and females have predominant parasympathetic drive using short-term exercise by stepper. Thus, the experiment results indicate the suitability of developing rehabilitation devices in the field of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS), research, control system and rehabilitation enginering, which may help to isolate males and females.

10.11591/ijeecs.v2.i2.pp268-274
Subhra J. Sarkar , Nabendu Kr. Sarkar , Trishayan Dutta , Panchalika Dey , Aindrila Mukherjee
For stable power system operation, various system parameters like voltage, current, frequency, active and reactive power etc. are monitored at a regular basis. These data are either stored in the database of the system or transmitted to the monitoring station through SCADA. If these data can be compressed by suitable data compression techniques, there will be reduced memory requirement as well as lower energy consumption for transmitting the data. In this paper, an algorithm based on Arithmetic Coding is developed for compressing and decompressing such parameters in MATLAB environment. The compression ratio of the algorithm clearly indicates the effectiveness of the algorithm.

The most important consideration in designing protocols for wireless sensor networks is the energy constraint of nodes because in most cases battery recharging is inconvenient or impossible. Therefore, many researches have been done to overcome this demerit. Clustering is one of the main approaches in designing scalable and energy-efficient protocols for WSNs.In this paper, we proposed a novel scheme to investigate the cluster, the Fuzzy Logic Cluster Stable Election Protocol (SEP - FUZZY), which uses Fuzzy Logic Inference System (FIS) in the cluster process. We compare our technique with two approaches (LEACH, and SEP) to show that using a multi parameter FIS enhances the network lifetime significantly. Simulation results demonstrate that the network lifetime achieved by the proposed method could be increased by nearly 27% more than that obtained by LEACH protocol, and by nearly 23% more than that obtained by Stable Election Protocol.

In the last few decades, many advanced technologies have been proposed, in which communications played a great role as well as telecommunications applications. The noise elimination in various environments became the most concerned as it greatly hindered the speech communication applications. The improvement of noisy speech interms of quality and intelligibility are taken into account without introducingany additional noise. Many speech enhancement algorithms have been proposed. Wiener filter is one of the classical algorithm that improve the noisy speech by reducing its noise components through selectively chosen Wiener gain. In this paper, compressive sensing method by randomize measurement matrix is combined with the Wiener filter to reduce the noisy speech signal to produce high signal to noise ratio. The PESQ is used to measure the quality of the proposed algorithm design. Experimental results showthe effectiveness of our proposed algorithm to enhance noisy signals corrupted by various noises compared to other traditional algorithms, in which high PESQ scores were achieved across various noises and different SNRs.
