Multiuser Detection with Decision-Feedback Detectors and PIC in MC-CDMA System

In this paper we propose an iterative parallel decision feedback (P-DF) receivers associated with parallel interference cancellation (PIC) for multicarrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems in a Rayleigh fading channel (cost 207). First the most widely detection techniques, minimum mean-squared error MMSE, Maximum Likelihood ML and PIC were investigated in order to compare their performances in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) with parallel feedback detection P-DFD. A MMSE DF detector that employs parallel decision-feedback (MMSE-P-DFD) is considered and shows almost the same BER performance with MMSE and ML, which present a better result than the other techniques. In a second time, an iterative proposed method based on the multi-stage techniques P-DFD (parallel DFD with two stages) and PIC was exploited to improve the performance of the system

Change detection and non stationary signals tracking by adaptive filtering

ABSTRACT In this paper we consider the problem of change detection and non stationary signals tracking. Using parametric estimation of signals based on least square lattice adaptive filters we consider for change detection statistical parametric methods using likelihood ratio and hypothesis tests. In order to track signals dynamics, we introduce a compensation procedure in the adaptive estimation. This will improve the adaptive estimation performances and fasten it's convergence after changes detectio

BRAIN Journal - State of the Art: Signature Biometrics Verification

ABSTRACT This paper presents a comparative analysis of the performance of three estimation algorithms: Expectation Maximization (EM), Greedy EM Algorithm (GEM) and Figueiredo-Jain Algorithm (FJ) - based on the Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) for signature biometrics verification. The simulation results have shown significant performance achievements. The test performance of EER=5.49 % for "EM", EER=5.04 % for "GEM" and EER=5.00 % for "FJ", shows that the behavioral information scheme of signature biometrics is robust and has a discriminating power, which can be explored for identity authentication
