    Design of two-channel PR FIR filter banks with low system delay

    Get PDF
    IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, Geneva, Switzerland, 28-31 May 2000In this paper, a new approach for designing two-channel PR FIR filter banks with low system delay is proposed. It is based on the generalization of the structure previously proposed by Phoong et al. Such structurally PR filter banks are parameterized by two functions α(z) and β(z) which can be chosen as linear-phase FIR or allpass functions to construct FIR/IIR filter banks with good frequency characteristics. In this paper, the more general case of using different nonlinear-phase FIR functions for β(z) and α(z) is studied. As the linear-phase requirement is relaxed, higher stopband attenuation can still be achieved at low system delay. The design of the proposed low-delay filter banks is formulated as a complex polynomial approximation problem, which can be solved by the Remez exchange algorithm or analytic formula with very low complexity. The usefulness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by several design examples.published_or_final_versio

    Theory and design of causal stable IIR PR cosine-modulated filter banks

    This paper proposes a novel method for designing two-channel and M-channel causal stable IIR PR filter banks using cosine modulation. In particular, we show that the PR condition of the two-channel IIR filter banks is very similar to the two-channel FIR case. Using this formulation, it is relatively simple to satisfy the PR condition and to ensure that the filters are causal stable. Using a similar approach, we propose a new class of M-channel causal stable IIR cosine modulated filter banks. Design examples are given to demonstrate the usefulness of proposed approach.published_or_final_versio

    Theory and design of a class of M-channel IIR cosine-modulated filter banks

    This letter proposes a method for designing a class of M-channel, causal, stable, perfect reconstruction (PR) IIR cosine-modulated filter banks (CMFB). The proposed CMFB has the same denominator for all its polyphase components in the prototype filter. Therefore, the PR condition is considerably simplified, and it is relatively simple to satisfy the PR and the casual-stable requirements of the IIR CMFB. Design examples show that the proposed IIR CMFB has sharper cutoff, higher stopband attenuation, and passband flatness than its FIR counterparts, especially when the system delay is small.published_or_final_versio

    New method for designing two-channel causal stable IIR perfect reconstruction filter banks and wavelet bases

    A new method for designing two-channel causal stable IIR PR filter banks and wavelet bases is proposed. It is based on the structure previously proposed by Phoong et al. (1995). Such a filter bank is parameterized by two functions α(z) and β(z), which can be chosen as an all-pass function to obtain IIR filterbanks with very high stopband attenuation. One of the problems with this choice is that a bump of about 4 dB always exists near the transition band of the analysis and synthesis filters. The stopband attenuation of the high-pass analysis filter is also 10 dB lower than that of the low-pass filter. By choosing β(z) and α(z) as an all-pass function and a type-II linear-phase finite impulse response (FIR) function, respectively, the bumping can be significantly suppressed. In addition, the stopband attenuation of the high-pass filter can be controlled easily. The design problem is formulated as a polynomial approximation problem and is solved efficiently by the Remez exchange algorithm. The extension of this method to the design of a class of IIR wavelet bases is also considered.published_or_final_versio

    Efficient method for designing two-channel PR FIR filter banks with low system delay

    In this paper, an efficient method for designing perfect reconstruction (PR) two-channel finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks with low system delay is proposed. It is based on the use of nonlinear-phase FIR function in a structure previously proposed by Phoong et al. The design problem is formulated as a complex polynomial approximation problem and is solved effectively using the Remez exchange algorithm with very low design complexity. Design examples show that filter banks with flexible stopband attenuation and system delay can be readily obtained by the proposed algorithm.published_or_final_versio

    A distributed bandwidth reservation algorithm for QoS routing in TDMA-based mobile ad hoc networks

    Get PDF
    In this paper, we propose a distributed bandwidth reservation algorithm for QoS routing in mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). The bandwidth resource is organized into TDMA time slots. Previous methods either rely on global information for time slot reservation, which is impractical, or suffer from the shortcut collision problem. In our method, both the hidden terminal problem and the shortcut collision problem are eliminated. Furthermore, our method is performed in a distributed manner, thus has a low computational complexity. Simulation results show that the reserved bandwidth of our algorithm is close to the upper bound. ©2005 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
