Code division multiple access (CDMA) technique is used widely since it can flexibly support multi-rate multi-media services by changing the number of orthogonal spreading codes. In this paper, we present a new adaptive code assignment algorithm, which consists of three steps: reserved-space, improved-crowded-first-space, and multi-code combination to fully use the code space. Compared with the ...

This thesis seeks to develop a robust semi-analytical performance prediction method for an advanced iterative receiver that processes spatially multiplexed signals that have propagated through frequency-selective receive correlated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication channels. In a change of perspective, the proposed performance prediction methods are applied at the tra...

ÐMarr [J. Physiol. (1969) 202, 437±470] and Albus [Math. Biosci. (1971) 10, 25±61] hypothesized that cerebellar learning is facilitated by a granule cell sparse code, i.e. a neural code in which the fraction of active neurons is low at any one time. In this paper, we re-examine this hypothesis in light of recent experimental and theoretical ®ndings. We argue that cerebellar motor learning is en...

General-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations have revolutionized our understanding of black hole accretion. Here, we present a graphics processing unit (GPU) accelerated GRMHD code \hammer{} with multi-faceted optimizations that, collectively, accelerate computation by 2-5 orders magnitude for wide range applications. Firstly, it introduces spherical grid 3D adaptive mesh refine...
