Advances in Communications and Signal Processing [Paperback]

This international conference on Advances in Communications and Control Systems was held to bring together researchers in communications, control systems, computing and signal processing to explore common themes and present research results of broad interest. The focus of the conference was on presenting research results in a fashion that would make them accessible to groups wider than that of the narrow specialist. Many papers, therefore, are of a type that might be termed survey/research. The topics include control theory, communication detection, high speed computing, distributed parameter systems, nonlinear systems, stochastic optimization, source coding, robust control and applications, and neural networks. Selected papers from the conference are presented both in this book and in its companion volume Advances in Computing and Control.Performance analysis of non-orthogonal block designs for Fh/MFSK Systems under partial band interference.- Probability of error comparison of linear and iterative multiuser detectors.- Recent progress in Multiuser Detection.- Minimax causal transmission of Gaussian stochastic processes over channels subject to correlated jamming.- Efficient MSK spread-spectrum signaling.- On parameter estimation in DS/SSMA formats.- Orthogonal signalling and diversity in partial-band interference.- Applications of robustness measures in signal detection.- Robust multiple hypothesis tests.- Detecting a transient signal by bispectral analysis.- An important pathology of finite dimensional approximations of statistical estimators.- Counterexamples in detection and estimation.- On the convergence of the projection method for an autoregressive process and a matched DPCM code.- Tree-structured vector quantization for progressive transmission image coding.- Path map symbol release algorithms and the exponential metric tree.- Structure simplification of 2-D digital filters: An overview.- Factorization method for inherently stable 2-D lãÀ
