In this paper, we consider subcarrier-index modulation (SIM) for precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with a few activated subcarriers per user and its generalization to multi-carrier multiple access systems. The resulting multiple access is called sparse index multiple access (SIMA). SIMA can be considered as a combination of multi-carrier code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) and SIM. Thus, SIMA is able to exploit a path diversity gain by (random) spreading over multiple carriers as MC-CDMA. To detect multiple users' signals, a low-complexity detection method is proposed by exploiting the notion of compressive sensing (CS). The derived low-complexity detection method is based on the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm, which is one of greedy algorithms used to estimate sparse signals in CS. From simulation results, we can observe that SIMA can perform better than MC-CDMA when the ratio of the number of users to the number of multi-carrier is low.

It is known that top-down associative inputs terminate on distal apical dendrites in layer 1 while bottom-up sensory inputs terminate on perisomatic dendrites of layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons (L2/3 PyNs) in primary sensory cortex. Since studies on synaptic transmission in layer 1 are sparse, we investigated the basic properties and cholinergic modulation of synaptic transmission in layer 1 and compared them to those in perisomatic dendrites of L2/3 PyNs of rat primary visual cortex. Using extracellular stimulations of layer 1 and layer 4, we evoked excitatory postsynaptic current/potential in synapses in distal apical dendrites (L1-EPSC/L1-EPSP) and those in perisomatic dendrites (L4-EPSC/L4-EPSP), respectively. Kinetics of L1-EPSC was slower than that of L4-EPSC. L1-EPSC showed presynaptic depression while L4-EPSC was facilitating. In contrast, inhibitory postsynaptic currents showed similar paired-pulse ratio between layer 1 and layer 4 stimulations with depression only at 100 Hz. Cholinergic stimulation induced presynaptic depression by activating muscarinic receptors in excitatory and inhibitory synapses to similar extents in both inputs. However, nicotinic stimulation enhanced excitatory synaptic transmission by ~20% in L4-EPSC. Rectification index of AMPA receptors and AMPA/NMDA ratio were similar between synapses in distal apical and perisomatic dendrites. These results provide basic properties and cholinergic modulation of synaptic transmission between distal apical and perisomatic dendrites in L2/3 PyNs of the visual cortex, which might be important for controlling information processing balance depending on attentional state.

본 논문에서는 일반화된 공간천이변조시스템에서 신호 복원 성능의 개선을 위하여 병렬 직교매칭퍼슛 기술을 이용한 신호 검출기법을 제안하고 그 성능을 분석한다. 일반화된 공간천이변조 시스템에서 수신신호의 복원은 압축 센싱에서 성긴신호 복원과 매우 유사하다. 성긴 신호 복원에서 자주 사용되는 직교매칭퍼슛 기법은 매 반복과정에서 수신 신호와 채널 행렬과의 상관도가 높은 인덱스를 송신신호의 Nonzero 인덱스로 1개씩 선택한다. 반면 제안된 POMP기법에서는 수신신호를 이용하여 첫 번째 반복과정에서 채널행렬과의 상관도가 높은 인덱스를 복수(M)개 선택한 후, 선택된 M개의 인덱스를 초기 인덱스로 하는 M개의 OMP과정을 병렬적으로 수행한다. 최종적으로 각 OMP과정에서 복원된 신호 중 수신된 신호와 복원신호사이의 잔차 (Residual)가 가장 작은 후보 신호를 최종 복원 신호로 선택한다. 본 논문에서는 POMP기법에 양자화기법을 결합한 알고리즘도 함께 제안한다. 제안된 POMP알고리즘은 OMP대비 M배의 복잡도를 갖지만 신호 복원 성능은 매우 탁월하다.
