Our timed Z-channel (a general case of the Zchannel) appears as the basis for a large class of covert channels. Golomb analyzed the Z-channel, a memoryless channel with two input symbols and two output symbols, where one of the input symbols is transmitted with noise while the other is transmitted without noise, and the output symbol transmission times are equal. We introduce the timed Z-channe...

Recently, the finite state Markov channel (FSMC) with an additional eavesdropper and delayed feedback from the legitimate receiver to the transmitter has been shown to be a useful model for the physical layer security of the practical mobile wireless communication systems. In this paper, we extend this model to a multiple-access situation (up-link of the wireless communication systems), which w...

Web service composition allows developers to create applications rapidly. But due to the tremendous growth in the number of Web services available, the Web service composition problem is still a challenging research issue. This paper introduces an automatic Web service composition method which considers both services’ input/output type compatibility and behavioral constraint compatibility. The ...

A Bit-Mixer is a function of fixed size input and output, which computes uncorrelated output from correlated input values, and its behavior is altered by parameters, called keys. Several bit-mixer constructions have been published with very fast, power efficient implementations in electronic hardware, having very little side channel leakage. In this paper a dozen cryptographic applications are ...

For all p > 1, we demonstrate the existence of quantum channels with non-multiplicative maximal output p-norms. Equivalently, for all p > 1, the minimum output Rényi entropy of order p of a quantum channel is not additive. The violations found are large; in all cases, the minimum output Rényi entropy of order p for a product channel need not be significantly greater than the minimum output entr...

The memoryless noncoherent single-input single-output (SISO) Rayleigh-fading channel is considered. Closed-form expressions for the mutual information between the output and the input of this channel when the input magnitude distribution is discrete and restricted to having two mass points are derived, and it is subsequently shown how these expressions can be used to obtain closed-form expressi...

Because of broadband wireless systems benefit from accurate channel characterization, there is growing interest in broadband wireless multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channel models. While coding and signal processing are key elements to successful implementation of a MIMO system, the communication channel representing a major component that determines system performance. This paper will f...

In this paper, we propose a novel joint semi-blind channel and data estimation technique based on Whitening Rotation (WR) method for Rayleigh flat fading Multiple Input Multiple output (MIMO) channel using different receiver antennas combinations. Here we divide newly proposed technique in three steps. In the first step, we use conventional Whitening Rotation based semi-blind channel estimation...

abstract the aim of this study is of the effect of structural changes in higher education on changes of output in sistan and baluchestan province using structural decomposition analysis (sda). the input-output tables of this region for the period 2006-2011 have been employed as the database of the model. the structural changes were decomposed into two factors: changes in share of specific secto...
