Abstract The brain capitalizes on the complexity of both its biochemistry for neurons to encode diverse pieces information with various neurotransmitters and morphology at multiple scales route different pathways neural interconnectivity. Conducting polymer dendrites can show similar features by differentiating between cations anions thanks their charge accumulation profile asymmetry in dendrit...

This paper presents a worst-case pairwise codeword error probability analysis, under arbitrary block fading, for wireless communication systems with multiple transmit and receive antennas. Our results generalize the Rayleigh-fading space-time code design criteria (full rank and maximum determinant) to arbitrary fading. Keywords— Space-time codes, multiple transmit antennas, product distance.

We obtain the Shannon capacity of a fading channel with channel side information at the transmitter and receiver, and at the receiver alone. The optimal power adaptation in the former case is “water-pouring” in time, analogous to water-pouring in frequency for time-invariant frequency-selective fading channels. Inverting the channel results in a large capacity penalty in severe fading.

This paper investigates the achievable information rate of phase-shift keying (PSK) over frequency non-selective Rayleigh fading channels without channel state information (CSI). The fading process exhibits general temporal correlation characterized by its spectral density function. We consider both discrete-time and continuous-time channels, and find their asymptotics at low signal-to-noise ra...

In broadband wireless communication, the adaptive antenna array (AAA) is combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) to combat the inter-symbol interference (ISI) and the directional interferences. One of the two main techniques which are used in OFDM systems is called Pre-FFT, where an optimum beamformer weight set is obtained in time domain before Fast Fourier Transform (P...

The performance of wireless MIMO systems is known to suffer significantly from fading correlation between the antenna elements in a poor scattering environment if the transmitter is non-adaptive. However, acquiring accurate short-term channel state information to control TX adaptivity can be a serious problem, in particular in FDD systems. Thus, we are proposing statistical linear transmit pref...

Violations of spatiotemporal continuity disrupt performance in many tasks involving attention and working memory, but experiments on this topic have been limited to the study of moment-by-moment on-line perception, typically assessed by passive monitoring tasks. We tested whether persisting object representations also serve as underlying units of longer-term memory and active spatial navigation...

Abstract Recently, the frequency-domain equalization (FDE) has been attracting much attention since it is an effective equalization technique for direct-sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) signal transmission in a frequency-selective fading channel. In practical systems, the square-root Nyquist transmit and receive filters are used for the bandwidth limitation of the transmitted si...

In this paper, α-OFDM, a generalization of the OFDM modulation, is proposed. This new modulation enhances the outage capacity performance of bursty communications. The α-OFDM scheme is easily implementable as it only requires an additional time symbol rotation after the IDFT stage and a subsequent phase rotation of the cyclic prefix. The physical effect of the induced rotation is to slide the D...
