Most of the speech enhancement algorithms rely on estimating the magnitude spectrum of the clean speech signal from that of the noisy speech signal using either spectral regression or spectral masking. Because of difficulty in processing the phase of the short time Fourier transform (STFT), noisy phase is reused while synthesizing the waveform from the enhanced magnitude spectrum. In order to demonstrate the significance of phase in speech enhancement, we compare the phase obtained from different reconstruction methods, like Griffin and Lim, minimum phase, with that of the gold phase (clean phase). In this work, spectral magnitude mask (SMM) is estimated using deep neural networks to enhance the magnitude spectrum of the speech signal. The experimental results showed that gold phase outperforms the phase reconstruction methods in all the objective measures, illustrating the significance of enhancing the noisy phase in speech enhancement.

This paper proposes a novel non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme for the uplink heterogeneous network (HetNet) using QR decomposition. In a HetNet employing NOMA, femtocell users (FUs) share the same spectrum as that of the macrocell users (MUs). While it increases the system capacity, this reuse results in new cases of cross-tier and co-tier interference. Cross-tier interference at the femtocell causes severe performance degradation due to the high transmit power of undesired macrocell users (MUs). Hence efficient interference management is essential to garner the benefits promised by NOMA-HetNet combination. In the proposed NOMA scheme, the cross-tier interference in the femtocell is mitigated by QR decomposition-based decoding. This decomposition carried out at the femtocell base station (FBS) extracts the desired NOMA users' signal from the received composite signal. In contrast to the NOMA schemes in literature based on successive interference cancellation (SIC), the proposed scheme does not require any user pairing or power control schemes on the user equipment (UE) to decode FUs' data at the FBS. Besides, it does not require any information exchange to the transmitter (UE) side for decoding, thereby significantly reducing the computational complexity as well as the signaling overhead at the FBS. Performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated through simulation studies and also compared with a prevailing SIC algorithm to establish its superiority.

Localization of acoustic sources among hearing impaired (HI) listeners is known to be less satisfactory than normal hearing (NH) listeners and their performance worsens in the presence of interfering sources or noise. However new hearing aids are developed to provide speech enhancement using multi-channel signal processing to preserve spatial cues in binaural presentation. In this work, we propose a methodology to evaluate spatial perception of listeners using a novel MUSHRA-like (MUlti Stimulus test with Hidden Reference and Anchor) experimental setup using an Android mobile phone. We evaluate multiple pre-recorded stimuli, presented randomly for their perceptual localization accuracy, relative to explicitly presented spatial references. The test implemented on Android mobile platform and bluetooth earplugs, along with a variety of directional interference stimuli, provides for the test to be administered at any remote location, without the necessity of expensive clinical facilities. We also propose schemes for different methods of rendering binaural audio for further mobile phone based hearing assistance.

This paper presents a real-time video based vehicle counting system, the key feature of which is its low computational complexity. The counting algorithm is tailored to be able to run on a low cost hardware platform like Raspberry Pi as part of a smart camera system. Background subtraction forms the basis of day time vehicle counting while night time counting is based on headlight detection and pairing. Both operations are performed only on a pre-specified virtual detection region within each frame. When tested on public traffic datasets, the method outperforms other more complex algorithms under various weather and traffic conditions.

Identifying language information from speech utterance is referred to as spoken language identification. Language Identification (LID) is essential in multilingual speech systems. The performance of LID systems have been studied for various adverse conditions such as background noise, telephonic channel, short utterances, so on. In contrast to these studies, for the first time in the literature, the present work investigated the impact of emotional speech on language identification. In this work, different emotional speech databases have been pooled to create the experimental setup. Additionally, state-of-art i-vectors, time-delay neural networks, long short term memory, and deep neural network x-vector systems have been considered to build the LID systems. Performance of the LID system has been evaluated for speech utterances of different emotions in terms of equal error rate and Cavg. The results of the study indicate that the speech utterances of anger and happy emotions degrades performance of LID systems more compared to the neutral and sad emotions.

In this paper, we propose a Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) technique which uses k-means clustering for a standard single mode fiber based non return to zero (NRZ)-quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) transmission system that employs power division non-orthogonal multiple access (PD-NOMA) scheme to enhance the capacity. Results obtained from the numerical simulation confirm that for an aggregated transmission of 20 Gbps signal for two users, each transmitting a data rate of 10 Gbps over standard single mode fiber (SSMF), a BER value of 10−5 is achievable with an OSNR penalty of 2 dB for a far user, which is situated 100 km away from the transmitter and utilizes NOMA. The proposed system doesn't include any compensation technique for mitigating fiber induced impairments. Simulation results also reveal that, a 1:7 power division ratio is required between the two users for optimum performance.

This paper presents a joint resource sharing and jammer placement problem for a simple four node system including a source, a jammer and two untrusted users. Observing that the resource allocation involving subcarrier allocation, power allocation and jammer placement is complex due to their interdependence on each other, this work attempts to solve the problem in parts. First of all, key insights on optimal subcarrier allocation which is simply based on channel conditions is presented. Since, jammer has been introduced for secrecy performance improvement, the need for optimal power sharing between source and jammer is highlighted. Due to the consideration of sum power budget, the fraction in which power should be shared between signal and noise for maximizing sum secure rate is an important decision. Utilizing some key concepts, optimal power allocation based on alternating optimization is presented. Further, insights on optimal placement of jammer are presented to highlight whether jammer should be placed near the users or somewhere in between on the line joining the two users. All analytical concepts have been numerically verified and performance gain against bench-mark has been highlighted through simulation results.

Kernelized methods using multiple kernels have shown better performances in graph-based clustering. But those kernelized methods get affected by the noise present in the data set. Also, only a single view has been used in those kernelized graph-based clustering methods. To address those issues, a novel low-rank multi-view multi-kernel graph-based clustering framework (LRMVMKC) has been proposed in this paper. Where the similarity nature of kernel matrices are exploited by low-rank optimal kernel learning and the clustering performances are boosted by using multiple views that provide different partial information about a given data set. The use of the proposed LRMVMKC framework on different benchmark data sets demonstrates the better performances of the proposed framework over other existing methods.

Fragmentation is considered as a major bottleneck for Elastic Optical Networks (EON) resulting in poor spectrum utilization. A defragmentation scheme can be employed to tackle this fragmentation issue. Often defragmentation schemes involve complex procedures and disruption to existing connections. As disruption of connections is paramount for defragmentation schemes in flex-grid EONs, we propose a novel Routing and Spectrum Allocation (RSA) framework in EON that employs controlled disruption for dynamic traffic scenarios. First, we propose a Mixed Integer Linear Program (MILP) model for a sample network which jointly optimizes delay-bandwidth product, fragmentation, and link congestion. Then, a heuristic algorithm for realistic networks is also proposed. We show the benefits of our formulation with existing studies in terms of blocking probability and fragmentation.

We consider a communication problem over a noiseless rate limited channel where the sender and receiver have misaligned objectives - the receiver wants to compute a function of the source, but the sender acts to maximize its own utility function. This setting is distinct from source coding since the sender and receiver are strategic agents and hence Shannon theory does not apply. We show that despite this, under certain conditions, reliable communication can be ensured. We pose the problem as a leader-follower game between the sender and receiver. We show that when the receiver is the leader, and the function is incentive compatible, every equilibrium of this game is an optimal code for the source-coding problem. This shows that the Shannon rate is a fundamental threshold for this communication. We show that the incentive compatibility condition, which has its origin in mechanism design theory, is also necessary for reliability. We also show that to ensure reliable communication, it is essential that the receiver is the leader, since the same may not be ensured when the sender is the leader.
