A Learning Approach In Link Adaptation For Mimo-Ofdm Systems, Hali̇l Yi̇ği̇t, Adnan Kavak Jan 2013

A Learning Approach In Link Adaptation For Mimo-Ofdm Systems, Hali̇l Yi̇ği̇t, Adnan Kavak

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

We propose a neural network (NN)-based adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) for link adaptation in MIMO-OFDM systems. The AMC optimizes the best modulation and coding scheme (MCS) under a packet error rate (PER) constraint. In our approach, a NN with a multilayer perceptron (MLP) structure is applied for the AMC and its performance is compared with the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) algorithm under the frequency-flat (1-tap) and frequency-selective (4-tap) wireless channel conditions. The simulation results show that the NN classifier outperforms the k-NN algorithm, especially in terms of the PER, due to the fact that the MLP guarantees a MCS with …

Optimized Features Selection For Gender Classification Using Optimization Algorithms, Sajid Ali Khan, Muhammad Nazir, Naveed Riaz

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Optimized feature selection is an important task in gender classification. The optimized features not only reduce the dimensions, but also reduce the error rate. In this paper, we have proposed a technique for the extraction of facial features using both appearance-based and geometric-based feature extraction methods. The extracted features are then optimized using particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the bee algorithm. The geometric-based features are optimized by PSO with ensemble classifier optimization by the genetic algorithm. Using this approach, we have obtained promising results in terms of the classification error rate and computation time minimization. Moreover, our optimized feature-based method …

Performance Evolution Of A Newly Developed General-Use Hybrid Ais-Ann System: Aaa-Response, Seral Özşen, Sali̇h Güneş

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this study, we have developed a nonlinear recognition system in the artificial immune systems (AIS) field named `AaA-response (artificial neural network (ANN)-aided AIS-response)', which is different from previous AIS methods in that it uses a different modeling strategy in the formation of the memory response. Because it also uses ANNs in the determination of the correct output, it can be seen as a hybrid system that involves AIS and ANN approaches. Unlike the other AIS methods, AaA-response uses multiple system units (or antibodies) to form an output for a presented input. This property gives the proposed system the ability …

Power Efficient Linear Transmitters Using Sigma-Delta Modulation With Switching Amplifiers, Tayfun Nesimoglu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In conventional envelope elimination and restoration transmitters, the envelope information of the carrier is reconstructed by modulating the supply voltage of the switching amplifier. In this paper, it is shown that the supply voltage modulation introduces nonlinearity and reduces the average power efficiency of the transmitter. Here, novel transmitter architectures using sigma-delta--modulated carrier signals are proposed to overcome these shortcomings. The proposed architecture's and conventional envelope elimination and restoration transmitter's linearity and efficiency performances are compared at various oversampling rates and signal bandwidths. It is demonstrated that the proposed architectures may provide better linearity and efficiency than conventional envelope elimination …
