Enabling Quality-Driven Scalable Video Transmission over Multi-User NOMA System
Recently, non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) has been proposed to achieve
higher spectral efficiency over conventional orthogonal multiple access.
Although it has the potential to meet increasing demands of video services, it
is still challenging to provide high performance video streaming. In this
research, we investigate, for the first time, a multi-user NOMA system design
for video transmission. Various NOMA systems have been proposed for data
transmission in terms of throughput or reliability. However, the perceived
quality, or the quality-of-experience of users, is more critical for video
transmission. Based on this observation, we design a quality-driven scalable
video transmission framework with cross-layer support for multi-user NOMA. To
enable low complexity multi-user NOMA operations, a novel user grouping
strategy is proposed. The key features in the proposed framework include the
integration of the quality model for encoded video with the physical layer
model for NOMA transmission, and the formulation of multi-user NOMA-based video
transmission as a quality-driven power allocation problem. As the problem is
non-concave, a global optimal algorithm based on the hidden monotonic property
and a suboptimal algorithm with polynomial time complexity are developed.
Simulation results show that the proposed multi-user NOMA system outperforms
existing schemes in various video delivery scenarios.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures. This paper has already been accepted by IEEE

USING FILTERS IN TIME-BASED MOVIE RECOMMENDER SYSTEMS
On a very high level, a movie recommendation system is one which uses data about the user, data about the movie and the ratings given by a user in order to generate predictions for the movies that the user will like. This prediction is further presented to the user as a recommendation. For example, Netflix uses a recommendation system to predict movies and generate favorable recommendations for users based on their profiles and the profiles of users similar to them. In user-based collaborative filtering algorithm, the movies rated highly by the similar users of a particular user are considered as recommendations to that user. But users’ preferences vary with time, which often affects the efficacy of the recommendation, especially in a movie recommendation system. Because of the constant variation of the preferences, there has been research on using time of rating or watching the movie as a significant factor for recommendation. If time is considered as an attribute in the training phase of building a recommendation model, the model might get complex. Most of the research till now does this in the training phase, however, we study the effect of using time as a factor in the post training phase and study it further by applying a genre-based filtering mechanism on the system. Employing this in the post training phase reduces the complexity of the method and also reduces the number of irrelevant recommendations
Large-Scale MIMO Detection for 3GPP LTE: Algorithms and FPGA Implementations
Large-scale (or massive) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is expected to
be one of the key technologies in next-generation multi-user cellular systems,
based on the upcoming 3GPP LTE Release 12 standard, for example. In this work,
we propose - to the best of our knowledge - the first VLSI design enabling
high-throughput data detection in single-carrier frequency-division multiple
access (SC-FDMA)-based large-scale MIMO systems. We propose a new approximate
matrix inversion algorithm relying on a Neumann series expansion, which
substantially reduces the complexity of linear data detection. We analyze the
associated error, and we compare its performance and complexity to those of an
exact linear detector. We present corresponding VLSI architectures, which
perform exact and approximate soft-output detection for large-scale MIMO
systems with various antenna/user configurations. Reference implementation
results for a Xilinx Virtex-7 XC7VX980T FPGA show that our designs are able to
achieve more than 600 Mb/s for a 128 antenna, 8 user 3GPP LTE-based large-scale
MIMO system. We finally provide a performance/complexity trade-off comparison
using the presented FPGA designs, which reveals that the detector circuit of
choice is determined by the ratio between BS antennas and users, as well as the
desired error-rate performance.Comment: To appear in the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processin
THE UTILIZATION OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY, THE USER SATISFATION OF ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEM AND TASK COMPLEXITY: Study in Banking Industry at Bengkulu city
The objective of the study was to know the effect of the utilization of information technology (in term of diversity of information technology utilization and the extent of
information technology utilization) toward user atisfaction of accounting information system using the task complexity as the moderating variable. This research used survey
method by using questioners to gather data. The samples of this research were 44 middle and lower managers from banking industry in Bengkulu city. To test the effect
of the interaction between the utilization of information technology and task complexity toward user satisfaction of accounting information system used multiple regression
analysis. The research showed that the diversity and the extent of information technology had the positive significant effect toward the user satisfaction of accounting information system. The interaction between the diversity of information technology utilization and
task complexity significantly influenced the user satisfaction of accounting information system, and the interaction between the extent of information technology utilization and task complexity also significantly influenced the user satisfaction of accounting
