Wireless communication technology has been developed rapidly after entering the 21st century. Data transfer rate increased significantly as well as the bandwidth became wider and wider from 2G to 4G in wireless communication systems. Channel estimation is an import part of any communication systems; its accuracy determines the quality of the whole communication. Channel estimation methods of typical wireless communication systems such as UWB, 2G and 3G have been researched.

Noise in the communication channel is well established to be a threat to digital bit transmission, resulting in many mistakes at the bit level. Different modulation methods are studied in terms of BER, probability of error and SNR to better comprehend this. In the presence of specific levels of noise in the communication channel, this analysis yields an interesting conclusion that advises the employment of particular modulation methods. A comprehensive analysis of several modulation schemes has been considered. Those include On-Off Key modulation (OOK), Binary Phase Shift Key (BPSK), Quadrature Phase Shift Key (QPSK), Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) and 8-Phase Shift Key (8-PSK). This analysis can aid in the selection of a modulation approach based on the channel condition.

Рассматриваются методы оценки канала связи с пространственной модуляцией. Данный вид модуляции представляет собой методику однопотоковой передачи данных с несколькими входами и несколькими выходами (MIMO), при которой одновременно активируется только одна передающая антенна. Пространственная модуляция позволяет добиться полного исключения межканальных помех, а также демонстрирует большую экономию энергии в радиочастотной цепи. Однако, в отличие от многопоточных систем MIMO, оценка канала для пространственной модуляции становится проблемой, поскольку канал MIMO не может быть оценен на одном этапе передачи по единственному потоку. На основании этого факта была предложена новая схема оценки канала, которая использует корреляцию каналов и совместно оценивает каналы для разных передающих антенн. Предложенный метод обеспечивает тот же период оценки, что и многопоточные схемы MIMO. Исследовано изменение количества передаваемых пилот-сигналов при пространственной модуляции как для традиционных, так и для новых методов оценки канала связи. Уравновешивая точность и объем данных, можно достичь оптимального отношения пилот-сигналов для максимальной пропускной способности канала. Результаты моделирования показывают, что новый подход оценки превосходит традиционный метод с гораздо более низким оптимальным коэффициентом количества пилотов The article considers methods for estimating a communication channel with spatial modulation. This type of modulation is a single-stream multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technique in which only one transmit antenna is activated at a time. Spatial modulation allows for complete elimination of inter-channel interference, and also demonstrates great energy savings in the RF circuit. However, unlike multi-stream MIMO systems, channel estimation for spatial modulation becomes a problem because a MIMO channel cannot be estimated in a single transmission step on a single stream. Based on this fact, I proposed a new channel estimation scheme that uses channel correlation and jointly estimates channels for different transmit antennas. The proposed method provides the same evaluation period as multithreaded MIMO schemes. The change in the number of transmitted pilot-signals with spatial modulation is investigated for both traditional and new methods of estimation of the communication channel. By balancing accuracy and data volume, an optimal pilot signal ratio can be achieved for maximum channel throughput. Simulation results show that the new scoring approach outperforms the traditional method with a much lower optimal pilot count ratio

An (electron) microscope can be considered as a communication channel that transfers structural information between an object and an observer. In electron microscopy this information is carried by electrons. According to the theory of Shannon the maximal information rate (or capacity) of a communication channel is given by C = B log2 (1 + S/N) bits/sec., where B is the band width, and S and N the average signal power, respectively noise power at the output. We will now apply to study the information transfer in an electron microscope. For simplicity we will assume the object and the image to be onedimensional (the results can straightforwardly be generalized). An imaging device can be characterized by its transfer function, which describes the magnitude with which a spatial frequency g is transferred through the device, n is the noise. Usually, the resolution of the instrument ᑭ is defined from the cut-off 1/ᑭ beyond which no spadal information is transferred.

The multimodal nature of human communication has been well established. Yet few empirical studies have systematically examined the widely held belief that this form of perception is facilitated in comparison to unimodal or bimodal perception. In the current experiment we first explored the processing of unimodally presented facial expressions. Furthermore, auditory (prosodic and/or lexical-semantic) information was presented together with the visual information to investigate the processing of bimodal (facial and prosodic cues) and multimodal (facial, lexic, and prosodic cues) human communication. Participants engaged in an identity identification task, while event-related potentials (ERPs) were being recorded to examine early processing mechanisms as reflected in the P200 and N300 component. While the former component has repeatedly been linked to physical property stimulus processing, the latter has been linked to more evaluative “meaning-related” processing. A direct relationship between P200 and N300 amplitude and the number of information channels present was found. The multimodal-channel condition elicited the smallest amplitude in the P200 and N300 components, followed by an increased amplitude in each component for the bimodal-channel condition. The largest amplitude was observed for the unimodal condition. These data suggest that multimodal information induces clear facilitation in comparison to unimodal or bimodal information. The advantage of multimodal perception as reflected in the P200 and N300 components may thus reflect one of the mechanisms allowing for fast and accurate information processing in human communication.

Abstract. Given a consistent interest in comparing achievement across sub-populations in international assessments such as TIMSS, PIRLS, and PISA, it is critical that sub-population achievement is estimated reliably and with sufficient precision. As such, we systematically examine the limitations to current estimation methods used by these programs. Using a simulation study along with empirical results from the 2007 cycle of TIMSS, we show that a combination of missing and misclassified data in the conditioning model induces biases in sub-population achievement estimates, the magnitude and degree to which can be readily explained by data quality. Importantly, estimated biases in sub-population achievement are limited to the conditioning variable with poor-quality data while other sub-population achievement estimates are unaffected. Findings are generally in line with theory on missing and error-prone covariates. The current research adds to a small body of literature that has noted some of the limitations to sub-population estimation.

This paper is devoted to the presence of distortions in a speech signal transmitted over a communication channel to a biometric system during voice-based remote identification. We propose to preliminary correct the frequency spectrum of the received signal based on the pre-distortion principle. Taking into account a priori uncertainty, a new information indicator of speech signal distortions and a method for measuring it in conditions of small samples of observations are proposed. An example of fast practical implementation of the method based on a parametric spectral analysis algorithm is considered. Experimental results of our approach are provided for three different versions of communication channel. It is shown that the usage of the proposed method makes it possible to transform the initially distorted speech signal into compliance on the registered voice template by using acceptable information discrimination criterion. It is demonstrated that our approach may be used in existing biometric systems and technologies of speaker identification.
