However, they have to face the shortage of performance degradation. Several techniques were proposed to alleviate the noise effect and promote the receiver performance, among which is the weighted combining of multiple integration sub-intervals. In this paper, the performance of the weighted non-coherent receiver for UWB On-Off Keying (UWB-OOK) signal in multipath channels is analyzed, in terms of bit-error-rate. In addition, a closed-form expression of the approximately near-optimal weighting coefficient set is derived, and two simple weighting coefficient sets are proposed as well. Finally, the analytic results are verified via the computer simulations, which reveal obvious performance improvements to the conventional energy detector.展开更多

The Received Signal Strength(RSS) measurements and Differential RSS(DRSS) measurements can be converted to distance or distance ratio estimates for constructing a set of linear equations. Based on these linear equations, a constrained weighted least Squares(CWLS) algorithm for target localization is derived. In addition, an iterative technique based on Newton's method is utilized to give a solution. The covariance and bias of the CWLS algorithm is derived using perturbation analysis. Simulation shows that the proposed estimator achieves better performance than existing algorithms with reasonable complexity.展开更多

Within-cluster correlations need to be taken into account when analyzing such clustered data. A nonparametric method has been proposed by Obuchowski (1997) to estimate the Receiver Operating Characteristic curve area (AUC) for such clustered data. However, Obuchowski’s estimator gives equal weight to all pairwise rankings within and between cluster. In this paper, we modify Obuchowski’s estimate by allowing weights for the pairwise rankings vary across clusters. We consider the optimal weights for estimating one AUC as well as two AUCs’ difference. Our results in this paper show that the optimal weights depends on not only the within-patient correlation but also the proportion of patients that have both unaffected and affected units. More importantly, we show that the loss of efficiency using equal weight instead of our optimal weights can be severe when there is a large within-cluster correlation and the proportion of patients that have both unaffected and affected units is small.展开更多
