In this paper we evaluate the performance of list sequence (LS) maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) decoding on the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and the fully interleaved flat Rayleigh fading channel. In particular, we focus on the frame error rate (FER) of LS-MAP decoding with genie-assisted error detection. It is demonstrated that LS-MAP decoding yields significant performa...

The face symbol, developed by Herman Chernoff (1973), is possibly the seminal multivariate point symbol. Cartographically, the symbol has made an appearance several times, but it has often been criticized because designers tend to ignore two key symbol parameters: feature salience and natural correspondence. Feature salience is the concept of perceptually ordering facial features from those tha...

Firstly, this paper makes analyses on the geographical visualization and mapping functionality in GIS software which have some shortcomings. So, the idea of geographical information cartographic representation is presented to improve the quality of the geographical information visualization and to satisfy rules of traditional cartography. The digital cartographic representation, which tries to ...

We address the problem of joint source symbol detection and multi-channel estimation in time-selective digital communication scenarios. Our approach is based on a statistical model which decouples the time dynamics of the multi-channel vector in amplitude and direction. We compute the most probable emitted symbol sequence and channel realization for this statistical model, given the set of arra...

The World Stress Map (WSM) project has compiled a global database of quality-ranked data records on the contemporary tectonic stresses in the Earth’s crust. The WSM 2005 database release contains approximately 16 000 data records from different types of stress indicators such as earthquake focal mechanisms solutions, well bore breakouts, hydraulic fracturing and overcoring measurements, as well...

Thematic map symbol is a basic component of thematic map language and it plays an important role in expressing the thematic content. However, the extensity of users leads to the diversity and complexity of the thematic symbols and expression methods, and most of the thematic maps do not have a fixed format and norms like topographic map. At the same time, we can not require all the users to be ...

This paper considers a massive multiple-inputmultiple-output (MIMO) system with low-resolution analog-todigital converters (ADCs). In this system, inspired by supervised learning, we propose a novel communication framework that consists of channel training and data detection. The underlying idea of the proposed framework is to use the input-output relations of a nonlinear system, formed by a ch...
