Since the feedback data rate increases with the number of users in the cell it is important to perform a selection of the users at the receiver. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of different user selection algorithms at the receiver side through the noisy uplink channel. We evaluate the effect of the noisy channel on the classical norm criterion and on a criterion based on the orthogonality between the user channels. Without cooperation between the users, we only allow users that are semi-orthogonal to feedback their channel information as analog and quantized information to the base station through the noisy uplink channel. We propose an algorithm to reduce the noise effect on the analog feedback for semi-orthogonal user selection algorithm. We show that the semi-orthogonal criterion with quantized feedback gives better performance compared to the norm criterion for perfect and noisy uplink channels.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2A novel square-spiral strip antenna(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2007) Saynak, Uğur; Kuştepeli, AlpA square-spiral strip antenna is designed considering the procedure used to obtain log-periodic antennas. Simulation results of the new design are compared with those of the well known and widely used Archimedean spiral antenna in terms of the frequency dependency. The effect of dielectric substrate used to support the antennas is also investigated.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 11Noise Robust Speaker Verification Using Mel-Frequency Discrete Wavelet Coefficients and Parallel Model Compensation(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2005) Tüfekçi, Zekeriya; Gürbüz, SabriInterfering noise severely degrades the performance of a speaker verification system. The Parallel Model Combination (PMC) technique is one of the most efficient techniques for dealing with such noise. Another method is to use features local in the frequency domain. Recently, Mel-Frequency Discrete Wavelet Coefficients (MFDWCs) [1, 2] were proposed as speech features local in frequency domain. In this paper, we discuss using PMC along with MFDWCs features to take advantage of both noise compensation and local features (MFDWCs) to decrease the effect of noise on speaker verification performance. We evaluate the performance of MFDWCs using the NIST 1998 speaker recognition and NOISEX-92 databases for various noise types and noise levels. We also compare the performance of these versus MFCCs and both using PMC for dealing with additive noise. The experimental results show significant performance improvements for MFDWCs versus MFCCs after compensating the Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) using the PMC technique. The MFDWCs gave 5.24 and 3.23 points performance improvement on average over MFCCs for -6 dB and 0 dB SNR values, respectively. These correspond to 26.44% and 23.73% relative reductions in equal error rate (EER), respectively.
