Time domain cyclic-selective mapping (TDC-SLM) reduces the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) in OFDM systems while the amounts of cyclic shifts are required to recover the transmitted signal in a receiver. One of the critical issues of the SLM scheme is sending the side information (SI) which reduces the throughputs in wireless OFDM systems. The proposed scheme implements delayed correlation a...

High Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) reduction is still an important challenge in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In this paper, we propose a novel Zadoff-Chu matrix Transform (ZCT) precoding based Selected Mapping (SLM) technique for PAPR reduction in OFDM systems. This technique is based on precoding the constellation symbols with ZCT precoder after the multiplic...

We used selective laser melting (SLM) and hot pressing of mechanically-alloyed β-type Ti-40Nb powder to fabricate macroporous bulk specimens (solid cylinders). The total porosity, compressive strength, and compressive elastic modulus of the SLM-fabricated material were determined as 17% ± 1%, 968 ± 8 MPa, and 33 ± 2 GPa, respectively. The alloy's elastic modulus is comparable to that of healthy...

In this paper we describe the statistical Structured Language Model (SLM) that uses grammatical analysis of the hypothesized sentence segment (prefix) to predict the next word. We first describe the operation of a basic, completely lexicalized SLM that builds up partial parses as it proceeds left to right. We then develop a chart parsing algorithm and with its help a method to compute the predi...

Single-carrier transmission with frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE) is widely known as a promising transmission technique providing low error probability with low peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of transmit signal. However, the low-PAPR property of SC-FDE cannot be maintained if multi-level data modulation is introduced. The low-PAPR property of SC-FDE can be maintained by applying trans...

Degradable implant material for bone remodeling that corresponds to the physiological stability of bone has still not been developed. Promising degradable materials with good mechanical properties are magnesium and magnesium alloys. However, excessive gas production due to corrosion can lower the biocompatibility. In the present study we used the polymer coating polycaprolactone (PCL), intended...

A new supported liquid membrane (SLM) system for the selective transport of VO2 ions was prepared in this present work. The SLM was a thin porous polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membrane soaked with Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as mobile carrier in Xylene as organic solvent. D2EHPA acts as a highly selective carrier for the uphill transport of VO2 ions through the SLM. The transp...

—A novel offset-symbols joint selective mapping (JSLM) scheme is proposed for the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction in the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing with Offset Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (OFDM/OQAM) system. By exploiting the dispersive energy of the prototype filter, the proposed J-SLM scheme multiplies the real and imaginary parts of each data block with diff...

In this paper, we propose a new peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) reduction scheme of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, called a modified selected mapping (SLM) scheme, which considerably reduces the computational complexity with keeping the similar PAPR reduction performance compared with the conventional SLM scheme. The proposed scheme is analytically and numerically ...

This paper evaluates the peak-to-mean envelope power ratio (PMEPR) performance in a space-time block coded (STBC) OFDM system using the selective mapping (SLM) and partial transmit sequence (PTS) approaches. The investigated SLM and PTS schemes for STBC-OFDM signals select the transmitted sequence with the lowest average PMEPR over all transmit antennas and retrieve the side information (SI) ve...
