This paper presents the bandwidth enhancement of a
Planar Inverted F-Antenna (PIFA) up to 1.55 GHz as results of
adding slots in the radiator element of the structure. The SParameters, gain, and radiation pattern after analyzed were used
for comparison purpose with a published PIFA model. The
simulations were made using the commercial software...

Least Squares optimization is one of the methods
utilized to solve the problem of nodes localization in wireless
networks. Within its numerous variations, these algorithms based
on the gradient approach generally use channel models typical of
the particular scenario for each application. This paper explores
the use of these techniques when applied...

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the main technology
used in 4G networks. One of its major challenges is related to the
use of the frequency spectrum and to services that require low
latencies. Considering that the traffic scaling in LTE networks is a
complex optimization problem, the main contribution of the work
is a new downlink scheduling...

This work describes the implementation of a satellite tracking technique in a real antenna control system. The
technique uses least squares estimation to search for the best
antenna pointing position to receive the satellite beacon signal
tracked in the 2D region created by the motion axes. The work
also presents the technique implementation results...

The automatic classification (or identification) of
modulation schemes and radio access technologies (RAT) find
several applications in military and cognitive radio systems. As
in other domains, deep learning has been applied to classification
problems in telecommunications. As other machine learning
approaches, assessing deep learning depends on...

This work proposes low complexity heuristics that
solve data rate maximization problems in orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing (OFDM) systems taking into account the
distortions inserted by a nonlinear power amplifier (PA). The
heuristics are based on the famous power allocation technique
patented by Hughes-Hartogs, but providing significant...

The reflection of an acoustic signal on walls or
objects in an enclosed environment is perceived as reverbera-
tion. It is present daily in conference rooms, tunnels and any

The reflection of an acoustic signal on walls or objects in an enclosed environment is perceived as reverbera- tion. It is present daily in conference roomstunnels and any closed spaces. The presence of reverberation can degrade speech intelligibility and the performance of tasks that depend on itsuch as speech or speaker recognition. Many methods were proposed to attenuate this degradation. A family of such methods acts on clean speechapplying gains on parts of the signal in order to improve intelligible when reverberated. These methods are called adaptive gain methods. This study aims to evaluate the effect of two adaptive gain methodsAdaptive Gain Control (AGC) and Steady-State Suppression (SSS)in speech intelligibility. The evaluation uses four objective measures: Coherence Signal Intelligibility Index (CSII)Short Time Objective Intelligibility (STOI)Speech Reverberation to Modulation Ratio (SRMR) and Weighted Short Time Objective Intelligibility (WSTOI). Results show that AGC improves speech intelligibility in studied conditionswhile SSS degrades ita result in line with subjective measures found in the literature.

This article investigates the application of adaptive
graph signal processing on real-world data. Using temperature
measurements obtained from Brazilian weather stations, we
construct a graph signal and verify that it can be approximated
by a sparse frequency representation. Considering the properties
of bandlimited graph signals, we analyze the...
