This paper investigates the diversity gain offered by implementing network coding (R. Ahlswede et al., 2000) over wireless communication links. The algorithm is applied to both a containing distributed antenna system (DAS) as well one that supports user cooperation between users. results show network-coded DAS leads better performance compared conventional DAS, at lower hardware cost and higher spectral efficiency. In case of cooperation, yields additional diversity, especially when there...

This paper studies the number of voice users (user capacity) supported on uplink a single-macrocell/single-microcell code-division multiple-access system. A "hotspot" microcell is embedded within larger macrocell and operates over same bandwidth as cell. Analytic methods are presented for computing user capacity which account propagation loss, interference, power control, random locations terminals, well two distinct by select base stations (tiers). Along with exact capacity, technique...

Mobile computers typically have limited energy for computing and communications due to short battery lifetimes. Encoding, decoding, transmission of video information require significant communication resources. Low power encoding decoding schemes been researched extensively. In this paper, we focus on processing encoded under low conditions. Such processing, while conserving power, attempts reduce deterioration quality.

The number of simultaneous users (or user capacity) supportable on the uplink a multiple-macrocell code division multiple-access (CDMA) system with multiple "hotspot" microcells embedded within is studied. These operate same frequency as macrocells and are installed in regions high demand.

Mixed electrical-chemical synapses potentially complicate electrophysiological interpretations of neuronal excitability and connectivity. Here, we disentangle the impact mixed within spinal locomotor circuitry larval zebrafish. We demonstrate that soma size is not linked to input resistance for interneurons, contrary biophysical predictions ‘size principle’ motor neurons. Next, show time constants are faster, excitatory currents stronger, potentials larger in lower neurons, linking synapse...
