.i.d.) Gaussian random vector that is imperceptibly inserted in a spread-spectrum-like fashion into the perceptually most significant spectral components of the data. We argue that insertion of a watermark under this regime makes the watermark robust to signal processing operations (such as lossy compression

Attractive features of time-hopping spread-spectrum multiple-access systems employing impulse signal technology are outlined, and emerging design issues are described. Performance of such communications systems in terms of achievable transmission rate and multiple-access capability are estimated

A method to correlate the uninterpreted tandem mass spectra of peptides produced under low energy (lo-50 eV) collision conditions with amino acid sequences in the Genpept database has been developed. In this method the protein database is searched to identify linear amino acid sequences within a

The University of Florida Sparse Matrix Collection is a large, widely available, and actively growing set of sparse matrices that arise in real applications. Its matrices cover a wide spectrum of problem domains, both those arising from problems with underlying 2D or 3D geometry (structural

is the investigation of the relation between properties of a graph and the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. A central topic and important source of tools is the theory of association schemes. An association scheme is, roughly speaking, a collection of graphs on a common vertex set which fit together in a highly

to the complex nature of crack growth under spectrum loading and also provided the basis for procedures adopted for life prediction. A simple engineering method is proponed for estimation fatigue crack propagation life wider random loading. Predictions are based on test data obtained under constant amplitude

Abstract—In this paper, the outage behavior of dual-hop multiuser multirelay cognitive radio networks under spectrum-sharing constraints is investigated. In the proposed cognitive radio network, the secondary network is composed of one secondary-user (SU) source that communi-cates with one out of L

Multiuser receivers improve the performance of spread-spectrum and antenna-array systems by exploiting the structure of the multiaccess interference when demodulating the signal of a user. Much of the previous work on the performance analysis of multiuser receivers has focused on their ability

is developed to evaluate the optimal transmit spectrum under the maximum sum data rate criterion. The numerical algorithm has an iterative water-filling int#j pret#4968 . It converges from any starting point and it reaches with in s per output dimension per transmission from the K-user multiple access sum

Abstract—In a cognitive radio network, the secondary users are allowed to utilize the frequency bands of primary users when these bands are not currently being used. To support this spectrum reuse functionality, the secondary users are required to sense the radio frequency environment, and once
