An experimental RF energy harvesting system to harvest energy from cell towers is presented in this paper. An electromagnetically-coupled square microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated for deployment in the presented system. Antenna gain of 9.1dB and bandwidth from 877 MHz to 998 MHz is achieved. A Schottky diode-based single stage voltage doubler and six-stage voltage doubler has also been designed and fabricated for DC voltage generation. Measured results show that a voltage of 2.78V is obtained at a distance of 10m from the cell tower and a voltage of 0.87V is obtained at a distance of 50m.

Video search today uses the metadata surrounding the video, ignoring its semantic content. Over the years, a lot of research has gone into indexing and browsing of sports video content. In this work, we present a novel approach for classification of events in cricket videos and thus, summarize its visual content. The proposed method segments a cricket video into shots and identifies the visual content in them. Using sequential pattern mining and support vector machine, we classify the sequence of shots into four events, namely RUN, FOUR, SIX and OUT. The cricket video is then summarized based on user-supplied parameters. The performance of the system has been tested on a number of cricket video clips and was found to have an accuracy of 87.8%.

Burst onset landmarks in the speech signal are transient segments with low energy and their accurate detection is important in applications involving landmark based speech modification, estimation of place of closure for speech training aids, and phoneme recognition. Rate of change measures of energy parameters from spectral bands with fixed boundaries are generally used for landmark detection. The differences in the parameter variation rates and ranges, correlations among them, and their dependencies on speakers, make them less suitable for precise time localization of burst onsets. A method for detection of burst onset landmarks is presented which uses rate of change of spectral moments, in addition to energy parameters of the short-time speech spectrum. Evaluation results indicate that this method can give high detection rates with improved temporal accuracy.

In Multi-userMIMO (MU-MIMO), the Base Station (BS) schedules multiple users simultaneously on the same resources. Closed loop MU-MIMO uses explicit feedback from each of these users for scheduling and allocation of resources. In this scheme, an estimate of the SINR experienced is fed back by each user and is known as the CQI (Channel Quality Information). This CQI is used by the BS for link adaptation to the scheduled users. When Base Stations change their precoders in the next scheduling epoch, interference levels and therefore CQI estimates made previously may no longer be accurate, leading to reduction in system throughput. In this paper, we discuss the benefits of using unitary precoders to reduce this mismatch in CQI and thus improve system performance.

In this work, speech signal having information up to 4 kHz is termed as narrowband (NB) speech and the other having information up to 8 kHz is termed as wideband (WB) speech. The objective is to demonstrate the significance of speaker information present in the WB speech. A speaker verification (SV) system is developed using the mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) computed from the WB speech and modeled using Gaussian mixture models (GMM). For comparison, a SV system is also developed from the corresponding NB speech. The experimental results show that the SV performance improves for WB speech and the improvement is significant under degraded conditions. Further, the performance improvement is better for female speakers.

This paper compares the feature sets extracted using time-frequency analysis approach and frequency-time analysis approach for text-independent speaker identification. Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (MFCC) feature set and Inverted Mel-frequency cepstral coefficient (IMFCC) feature set are extracted using time-frequency analysis approach. Temporal energy subband cepstral coefficient (TESBCC) feature set is extracted using frequency time analysis approach. Time-bandwidth product of MFCC filter bank and TESBCC filter bank has been compared. RV coefficient has been used to calculate the correlation between the feature sets. Experimental evaluation was conducted on POLYCOST database with 130 speakers using Gaussian mixture speaker model. The TESBCC feature set has 9.5% higher average accuracy compared to the MFCC feature set. It is found that, the feature set extracted using time-frequency analysis approach is practically uncorrelated with the feature set extracted using frequency-time analysis approach. It is also demonstrated that IMFCC feature set has important role in fusion.

A prominent function of a mobile host is seamless Vertical Handoff (VHO) that ensures application service continuity and quality. VHO decision algorithms that have been proposed in the literature consider parameters such as wireless channel quality (RSSI), cost, channel load, and available bandwidth. The mobile node runs the VHO algorithm autonomously and makes the decision. We highlight the fact that such a local decision can potentially result in a poor end-to-end application level QoS. We present a VHO scheme that takes into account end-to-end QoS as one of the key parameters in addition to other common parameters. We propose an architecture involving an external host based light-weight server (Access Link Utilization Monitor) that disseminates the available end-to-end bandwidth to the mobile node to assist it in making a decision to maintain end-to-end service quality. We describe a fuzzy logic based algorithm that has been used in the handoff decision. We present the results of our implementation on a mobile IP testbed under different realistic scenarios, that include WLAN, WiMAX and 3G access technologies to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed scheme.
移动主机的一个突出功能是无缝的VHO (Vertical Handoff)，保证了应用服务的连续性和质量。文献中提出的VHO决策算法考虑了诸如无线信道质量(RSSI)、成本、信道负载和可用带宽等参数。移动节点自主运行VHO算法并进行决策。我们强调这样一个事实，即这样的本地决策可能会导致糟糕的端到端应用程序级QoS。我们提出了一种将端到端QoS作为关键参数的VHO方案。我们提出了一种架构，该架构涉及一个基于外部主机的轻量级服务器(Access Link Utilization Monitor)，该服务器将可用的端到端带宽分发给移动节点，以帮助它做出维持端到端服务质量的决策。我们描述了一种基于模糊逻辑的算法，该算法已用于切换决策。我们在移动IP测试平台上展示了我们在不同现实场景下的实现结果，包括WLAN, WiMAX和3G接入技术，以证明所提出方案的有效性。

In this work, we present a bimodal biometric system using speech and face features and tested its performance under degraded condition. Speaker verification (SV) system is built using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) followed by delta and delta-delta for feature extraction and Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) for modeling. A face verification (FV) system is built using the combination of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). Sum rule is used for the fusion of the biometric scores. The performance of SV system under degraded condition is also checked. All the experimental results are shown upon a subset of IITG-DIT M4 multi-biometric database. The complementary information derived from the speech biometric at training stage is used to further decrease the FV error rate, which is termed as Cohort fed FV system. Finally we propose an improved bimodal person authentication system using SV and Cohort fed FV biometric systems.
