Uplink Multiuser MIMO Detection Scheme with Reduced Computational Complexity
The wireless communication systems with multiple antennas have recently received significant attention due to their higher capacity and better immunity to fading channels as compared to single antenna systems. A fast antenna selection scheme has been introduced for the uplink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection to achieve diversity gains, but the computational complexity of the fast antenna selection scheme in multiuser systems is very high due to repetitive pseudo-inversion computations. In this paper, a new uplink multiuser detection scheme is proposed adopting a switch-and-examine combining (SEC) scheme and the Cholesky decomposition to solve the computational complexity problem. K users are considered that each users is equipped with two transmit antennas for Alamouti space-time block code (STBC) over wireless Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show that the computational complexity of the proposed scheme is much lower than the systems with exhaustive and fast antenna selection, while the proposed scheme does not experience the degradations of bit error rate (BER) performances
A transformation method for constrained-function minimization
A direct method for constrained-function minimization is discussed. The method involves the construction of an appropriate function mapping all of one finite dimensional space onto the region defined by the constraints. Functions which produce such a transformation are constructed for a variety of constraint regions including, for example, those arising from linear and quadratic inequalities and equalities. In addition, the computational performance of this method is studied in the situation where the Davidon-Fletcher-Powell algorithm is used to solve the resulting unconstrained problem. Good performance is demonstrated for 19 test problems by achieving rapid convergence to a solution from several widely separated starting points
Large-N analysis of (2+1)-dimensional Thirring model
We analyze -dimensional vector-vector type four-Fermi interaction
(Thirring) model in the framework of the expansion. By solving the
Dyson-Schwinger equation in the large- limit, we show that in the
two-component formalism the fermions acquire parity-violating mass dynamically
in the range of the dimensionless coupling , . The symmetry
breaking pattern is, however, in a way to conserve the overall parity of the
theory such that the Chern-Simons term is not induced at any orders in .
turns out to be a non-perturbative UV-fixed point in . The
function is calculated to be
near the fixed point, and the UV-fixed point and the function are shown
exact in the expansion.Comment: 14 pages Latex. (Revised version: some changes have been made and

Remark on the effective potential of the gravitational perturbation in the black hole background projected on the brane
The polar perturbation is examined when the spacetime is expressed by a 4d
metric induced from higher-dimensional Schwarzschild geometry. Since the
spacetime background is not a vacuum solution of 4d Einstein equation, the
various general principles are used to understand the behavior of the
energy-momentum tensor under the perturbation. It is found that although the
general principles fix many components, they cannot fix two components of the
energy-momentum tensor. Choosing two components suitably, we derive the
effective potential which has a correct 4d limit.Comment: 12 pages, no figure, CQG accepte
Formulation of the information capacity of the optical-mechanical line-scan imaging process
An expression for the information capacity of the optical-mechanical line-scan imaging process is derived which includes the effects of blurring of spatial, photosensor noise, aliasing, and quantization. Both the information capacity for a fixed data density and the information efficiency (the ratio of information capacity to data density) exhibit a distinct single maximum when displayed as a function of sampling rate, and the location of this maximum was determined by the system frequency-response shape, signal-to-noise ratio, and quantization interval
A spectral reflectance estimation technique using multispectral data from the Viking lander camera
A technique is formulated for constructing spectral reflectance curve estimates from multispectral data obtained with the Viking lander camera. The multispectral data are limited to six spectral channels in the wavelength range from 0.4 to 1.1 micrometers and most of these channels exhibit appreciable out-of-band response. The output of each channel is expressed as a linear (integral) function of the (known) solar irradiance, atmospheric transmittance, and camera spectral responsivity and the (unknown) spectral responsivity and the (unknown) spectral reflectance. This produces six equations which are used to determine the coefficients in a representation of the spectral reflectance as a linear combination of known basis functions. Natural cubic spline reflectance estimates are produced for a variety of materials that can be reasonably expected to occur on Mars. In each case the dominant reflectance features are accurately reproduced, but small period features are lost due to the limited number of channels. This technique may be a valuable aid in selecting the number of spectral channels and their responsivity shapes when designing a multispectral imaging system
