In this paper, a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) spatial multiplexing (SM) relay system is studied in a bit error rate (BER) sense, where every node is deployed with multiple antennas. In order to efficiently use the limited power resource, it is essential to optimally allocate the power to nodes and antennas. In this context, the power allocation (PA) algorithm based on minimum BER (MBER) for a MIMO SM relay system is proposed, which is derived by direct minimization of the average BER, and divided into inter-node and inter-antenna PA algorithm. The proposed scheme outperforms the conventional equal power allocation (EPA) algorithm without extra power consumption.

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with space-time coding (STC) is a promising technology for future wireless communication systems. However, MIMO-OFDM systems are greatly impaired by large cochannel interference (CCI) from the multiple transmitters. In this paper, we propose pre-fast Fourier transform (FFT) multibeamforming based on MMSE(minimizing the mean squared error) for a MIMO-OFDM system to preserves the STC diversity and to remove the CCI. The improvement in bit error rate is investigated through computer simulation of a MIMO-OFDM system in a multipath channel with CCI.

In this paper, we propose and simulate an efficient interference cancellation scheme with an optimal ordering successive interference cancellation (SIC) algorithm for ultra wideband (UWB)/multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) systems in a wireless body area network (WBAN). When there are several wireless communication devices on a human body, multiple access interference (MAI) usually occurs. To mitigate the effect of MAI and achieve additional diversity gain, we utilize SIC with an optimal ordering algorithm. A zero correlation duration (ZCD) code with robust MAI capability is employed as a spread code for UWB systems in a multi-device WBAN environment. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated in terms of the bit error rate (BER). Simulation results confirm that the BER performance can be improved significantly if the proposed interference cancellation scheme and the ZCD code are jointly employed.

Combining multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) with a massive number of transmit antennas (massive MIMO-OFDM) is an attractive way of increasing the spectrum efficiency or reducing the transmission energy per bit. The effectiveness of Massive MIMO-OFDM is strongly affected by the channel state information (CSI) estimation method used. The overheads of training frame transmission and CSI feedback decrease multiple access channel (MAC) efficiency and increase the CSI estimation cost at a user station (STA). This paper proposes a CSI estimation scheme that reduces the training frame length by using a novel pilot design and a novel unitary matrix feedback method. The proposed pilot design and unitary matrix feedback enable the access point (AP) to estimate the CSI of the signal space of all transmit antennas using a small number of training frames. Simulations in an IEEE 802.11n channel verify the attractive transmission performance of the proposed methods.

In this paper, a procedure to develop fragility curves of structures equipped with semi-active tuned mass dampers (SATMDs) considering multiple failure criteria has been presented while accounting for the uncertainties of the input excitation, structure and control device parameters. In this procedure, Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method has been employed to generate 30 random SATMD-structure systems and nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) has been conducted under 20 earthquakes to determine the structural responses, where failure probabilities in each intensity level have been evaluated using Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method. For numerical analysis, an eight-story nonlinear shear building frame with bilinear hysteresis material behavior has been used. Fragility curves for the structure equipped with optimal SATMDs have been developed considering single and multiple failure criteria for different performance levels and compared with that of uncontrolled structure as well as structure controlled using passive tuned mass damper (TMD). Numerical analysis has shown the capability of SATMDs in significant enhancement of the seismic fragility of the nonlinear structure. Also, considering multiple failure criteria has led to increasing the fragility of the structure. Moreover, it is observed that the influence of the uncertainty of input excitation with respect to the other uncertainties is considerable.

Up to now, many state-of-arts have been proposed for two-way relaying system with linear modulations. The performances of antenna selection (AS) at both transmit and relay nodes need to be investigated in some two-way relaying multiple-input multiple-output (TWRM) systems. In this paper, the goal is focused on the study of nonlinear modulations, i.e., continuous phase modulation (CPM) in TWRM systems. Firstly, the joint phase trellis are simplified by reversed Rimoldi processing so as to reduce the systems' complexity. Then the performances of joint transmit and receive antenna selection (JTRAS) with CPM modulations in two-way relaying MIMO systems are analyzed. More exactly, the pair wise probability (PEP) is used to evaluate the error performance based on the CPM signal matrix, which is calculated in terms of Laurent expression. Since the channels subject to two terminal nodes share common antennas at relay node R in multiple-access scheme, we revise the JTRAS algorithm and compare it to existing algorithm via simulation. Finally, the error performances for various schemes of antenna selection are simulated and compared to the analysis in this paper.

A jamming design scheme to disturb target position estimation of a bistatic multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) radar system is presented. The proposed method exploits the received signals from distributed multiple electronic sensors and combines them to produce a jamming signal. The proposed algorithm can eliminate the target by transmitting the delayed sum or the weighted sum of the received senor signals. Simulation results confirm the performance of the proposed method.

Broken rotor bars in induction motors can be detected by monitoring any abnormality of the spectrum amplitudes at certain frequencies in the motor current spectrum. Broken rotor bar fault detection schemes should rely on multiple signatures in order to overcome or reduce the effect of any misinterpretation of the signatures that are obscured by factors such as measurement noises and different load conditions. Multiple Discriminant Analysis (MDA) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) provide appropriate environments to develop such fault detection schemes because of their multi-input processing capabilities. This paper describes two fault detection schemes for broken rotor bar fault detection with multiple signature processing, and demonstrates that multiple signature processing is more efficient than single signature processing.

This paper studies the uplink resource allocation for multiple radio access (MRA) in reconfigurable radio systems, where multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) multicarrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) and MIMO orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) networks coexist. By assuming multi-radio user equipment with network-guided operation, the optimal resource allocation for MRA is analyzed as a cross-layer optimization framework with and without fairness consideration to maximize the uplink sum-rate capacity. Numerical results reveal that parallel MRA, which uses MC-CDMA and OFDMA networks concurrently, outperforms the performance of each MC-CDMA and OFDMA network by exploiting the multiuser selection diversity.

Image stitching techniques produce an image with a wide field-of-view by aligning multiple images with a narrow field-of-view. While conventional algorithms successfully stitch images with a small parallax, structure misalignment may occur when input images contain a large parallax. This paper presents an image stitching algorithm that aligns images with a large parallax by regional linear warping. To this end, input images are first approximated as multiple planar surfaces, and different linear warping is applied to each planar surface. For approximating input images as multiple planar surfaces, the concept of dominant edges is introduced. Dominant edges are defined as conspicuous edges of lines in input images, and extracted dominant edges identify the boundaries of each planar surface. Dominant edge extraction is conducted by detecting distinct changes of local characteristics around strong edge pixels. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm successfully stitches images with a large parallax without structure misalignment.
