abstract = {Modern communications systems use efficient encoding schemes, multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and high-order QAM constellations for maximizing spectral efficiency. However, as the dimensions of the system grow, the design of efficient and low-complexity MIMO receivers possesses technical challenges. Symbol detection can no longer rely on conventional approaches for posterior probability computation due to complexity. Marginalization of this posterior to obtain per-antenna soft-bit probabilities to be fed to a channel decoder is computationally challenging when realistic signaling is used. In this work, we propose to use Expectation Propagation (EP) algorithm to provide an accurate low-complexity Gaussian approximation to the posterior, easily solving the posterior marginalization problem. EP soft-bit probabilities are used in an LDPC-coded MIMO system, achieving outstanding performance improvement compared to similar approaches in the literature for low-complexity LDPC MIMO decoding.},

abstract = {We address mesh networks with decode and forward relays that use binary modulations. For detection, the nodes employ equal gain combining, which is appealing because it is very easy to implement. We study the performance of these networks and compare it to that of multihop multi-branch networks. We also examine the performance of the networks when both the number of groups and total number of nodes are fixed but the topology of the network varies. We demonstrate the performance of these networks where the channels are modeled with Nakagami distributions and the noise is zero mean Gaussian},

abstract = {Meditation is a fascinating topic, yet has received limited attention in the neuroscience and signal processing community so far. A few studies have investigated electroencephalograms (EEG) recorded during meditation. Strong EEG activity has been observed in the left temporal lobe of meditators. Meditators exhibit more paroxysmal gamma waves (PGWs) in active regions of the brain. In this paper, a method is proposed to automatically detect PGWs from meditation EEG. The proposed algorithm is able to identify multiple sources in the brain that generate PGWs, and the sources associated with different types of PGWs can be distinguished. The effectiveness of the proposed method is assessed on 3 subjects possessing different degrees of expertise in practicing a yoga type meditation known as Bhramari Pranayama.},

abstract = {In previous literature on cooperative relay communications, the emphasis has been on the study of multi-hop networks. In this paper we address mesh wireless networks that use decode-and-forward relays for which we derive the optimal node decision rules in case of binary transmission. We also obtain the expression for the overall bit error probability. We compare the mesh networks with multi-hop networks and show the improvement in performance that can be achieved with them when both networks have the same number of nodes and equal number of hops.},

abstract = {We consider the problem of sequential hypothesis testing when the exact pdfs are not known but instead a set of iid samples are used to describe the hypotheses. We modify the classical test by introducing a likelihood ratio interval which accommodates the uncertainty in the pdfs. The test finishes when the whole likelihood ratio interval crosses one of the thresholds and reduces to the classical test as the number of samples to describe the hypotheses tend to infinity. We illustrate the performance of this test in a medical image application related to tuberculosis diagnosis. We show in this example how the test confidence level can be accurately determined.},
