Based on the new detection criterion proposed in Part 1 for the detecton of weak M-ary signals, a detection scheme for ultra wideband multiple access systems is investigated in the presence of impulsive interference. Simulation results show that the proposed detector, requiring less complexity, possesses almost the same performance as the maximum likelihood detector. In impulsive interference, the proposed detector also offers performance improvement over the detector optimized for Gaussian environment.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach to statistical model-based voice activity detection (VAD) that incorporates a second-order conditional maximum a posteriori (CMAP) criterion. As a technical improvement for the first-order CMAP criterion in [1], we consider both the current observation and the voice activity decision in the previous two frames to take full consideration of the interframe correlation of voice activity. This is clearly different from the previous approach [1] in that we employ the voice activity decisions in the second-order (previous two frames) CMAP, which has quadruple thresholds with an additional degree of freedom, rather than the first-order (previous single frame). Also, a soft-decision scheme is incorporated, resulting in time-varying thresholds for further performance improvement. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional CMAP-based VAD technique under various experimental conditions.

In this paper, various ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplxing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) receivers based on a prerake diversity combining scheme are discussed and their performance is analyzed. Several UWB MIMO detection approaches such as zero forcing (ZF), minimum mean square error (MMSE), ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC), sorted QR decomposition (SQRD), and maximum likelihood (ML) are considered in order to cope with inter-channel interference. The UWB SM systems based on transmitter-side multipath preprocessing and receiver-side MIMO detection can either boost the transmission data rate or offer significant diversity gain and improved BER performance. The error performance and complexity of linear and nonlinear detection algorithms are comparatively studied on a lognormal multipath fading channel.

The purpose of this study is to detect the damaged red pine trees by pine wilt disease using high resolution satellite image of IKONOS Geo. IKONOS images are segmented with eCognition image processing software. A segment based maximum likelihood classification was performed to delineate the pine stand. The pine stands are regarded as a potential damage area. In order to develop a methodology to detect the location of damaged trees from the high resolution satellite image, black and white aerial photographs were used as a simulated image. The developed method based on filtering technique. A local maximum filter was adapted to detect the location of individual tree. This report presents a part of the first year results of an ongoing project.

In this paper, we consider the diversity combining method for multiple symbol differential detection (MSDD) over the slow fading diversity channel. Though the performance of the optimum maximum-likelihood sequence estimator for MSDD approaches the performance of maximal-ratio combining with differential encoding, the complexity increases exponentially as the size of MSDD block is increased. This new pre-combining method can make use of the efficient MSDD algorithm that has a complexity increasing linearly with the block length or MSDD. Thus, in many wireless scenarios where it is not possible to perform coherent detection. this pre-combined diversity MSDD can be applied to obtain substantial gain compare to conventional differential detection.

This paper introduces a new efficient design scheme for spatial multiplexing (SM) systems over closed loop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless channels. Extending the orthogonalized spatial multiplexing (OSM) scheme which was developed recently for transmitting two data streams, we propose a new SM scheme where a larger number of data streams can be supported. To achieve this goal, we partition the data streams into several subblocks and execute the block-diagonalization process at the receiver. The proposed scheme still guarantees single-symbol maximum likelihood (ML) detection with small feedback information. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme achieves a huge performance gain at a bit error rate (BER) of $10^{-4}$ over conventional closed-loop schemes based on minimum mean-square error (MSE) or bit error rate (BER) criterion. We also show that an additional 2.5dB gain can be obtained by optimizing the group selection with extra feedback information.

This paper proposes a new adaptive QRD-M algorithm for MIMO systems. The proposed scheme controls the number of survivor paths,0 based on the channel condition at each layer. The original QRD-M algorithm used fixed M at each layer and it needs large M to achieve near-MLD (maximum-likelihood detection) performance. However, using the large M increases the computation complexity. In this paper, we further effectively control M by employing the channel indicator which includes not only the channel gain, but also instantaneous noise information without necessity of SNR measurement. We found that the ratio of the minimum path metric to the second minimum is good reliability indicator for the channel condition. By adaptively changing M based on this ratio, the proposed scheme effectively achieves near MLD performance and computation complexity of the proposed scheme is significantly smaller than the conventional QRD-M algorithms.

We propose a new adaptive K-best Sphere Decoding (SD) algorithm for Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems where the number of survivor paths, K is changed based on the characteristics of path metrics which contain the instantaneous channel condition. In order to overcome a major drawback of Maximum Likelihood Detection (MLD) which exponentially increases the computational complexity with the number of transmit antennas, the conventional adaptive K-best SD algorithms which achieve near to MLD performance have been proposed. However, they still have redundant computation complexity since they only employ the channel fading gain as a channel condition indicator without instantaneous Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) information. hi order to complement this drawback, the proposed algorithm use the characteristics of path metrics as a simple channel indicator. It is found that the ratio of the minimum path metric to the other path metrics reflects SNR information as well as channel fading gain. By adaptively changing K based on this ratio, the proposed algorithm more effectively reduce the computation complexity compared to the conventional K-best algorithms which achieve same performance.

Partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) is a powerful and indispensable detection scheme for perpendicular magnetic recording channels. The proposed method is a low complexity detection scheme which is related to the PRML system. The simulation results show that PR(1,2,3,4,3,2,1)ML and PR(l,2,3,3,2,1)ML using modulation encoding with R=2/3 have the most improved performance at K=3,4. However, in the case of K=3, R=2/3 PR(1,1,1,1)ML effectively reduces the complexity compared to PR(1,2,3,3,2,1), but it has L5dB performance degradation at most. In the case of K=4, R=l PR(1,2,2,1)ML has very low complexity compared to R=2/3 PR(l,2,3,4,3,2,1)ML. but it has about 2dB performance degradation at most.
