...• BLISS, FORSYTHE, AND CHAN MIMO Wireless Communication MIMO Wireless Communication Daniel W. Bliss, Keith W. Forsythe, and Amanda M. Chan ■ Wireless communication using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems enables increased spectral efficiency for a given total transmit power. Increased capacity is achieved by introducing additional spatial channels that are exploited by using space-time coding. In this article, we survey the environmental factors that affect MIMO capacity. These factors include channel complexity, external interference, and channel estimation error. We discuss examples of space-time codes, including space-time low-density parity-check codes and spacetime turbo codes, and we investigate receiver approaches, including multichannel multiuser detection (MCMUD). The ‘multichannel’ term indicates that the receiver incorporates multiple antennas by using space-time-frequency adaptive processing. The article reports the experimental performance of these codes and receivers. M - multiple-output (MIMO) systems are a natural extension of developments in antenna array communication. While the advantages of multiple receive antennas, such as gain and spatial diversity, have been known and exploited for some time [1, 2, 3], the use of transmit diversity has only been investigated recently [4, 5]. The advantages of MIMO communication, which exploits the physical channel between many transmit and receive antennas, are currently receiving significant...

...is a representation of the African American community. Gradually, Clare has become the double image of Irene, due to the similarities of their ethnicity and the contrasting lives they lead. At the end of the story, Clare’s death is a result of the extreme burden on Irene’s shoulder due to the presence of Clare in her life. The death of Clare is very much Irene’s responsibility based upon her suspicious acts at the end of the story. The ending of Passing, and of the life of Clare Kendry, begins on the sixth floor of an apartment complex at a party in the home of Felise and Dave Freeland. During the party, Irene says that, “It seems dreadfully warm in here. Mind if I open this window?” (Larsen 110) However, when Irene opens the window, “It had stopped snowing some two or three hours back” (Larsen 110). This means that the weather is still rather cold and despite the freezing temperature, Irene still sits beside the window. Another reason why Irene would want to open the window is because she wants to smoke her cigar. She politely uses the warm temperature in the room as her excuse to open the window. Although this action may seem reasonable today, during the 1930s, there was no social etiquette that required opening a window to smoke. The fact that Irene stays by the window after her smoke makes us question exactly what keeps her warm; perhaps it is her anger and rage towards Clare. Later when Irene finishes her cigar, she throws it out and “watch[es] the tiny spark drop slowly...

...The Harlem Renaissance was an enlightening period of time for African-Americans. A time where African-Americans embodied and celebrated their race, heritage, and culture despite the discrimination and negativity they faced. However in these times, there were a great deal of African-Americans who desired to “pass” as white to gain the privileges they could not access. In the novel Passing by Nella Larsen, its main protagonist, Irene Redfield, demonstrated a clear disapproval of “passing” in the beginning of the book. As she learns about her friend’s life while passing, her negative opinions on the subject are only affirmed, as her friend and rival’s husband is an extremely racist man that is oblivious to the fact that his wife is a passing woman....

...obsession of Clare. In this particular case, Irene’s motive is jealousy towards Clare’s “white” privilege. All of these accounts prove that Clare’s prosperous life as a passing Negro woman gained much attention but more so envy in Irene’s eyes. Envy was not the only way Irene envisioned Clare. It is apparent in many occasions Clare had a controlling influence on Irene both mentally and sexually. In result of Irene being attracted to her, Clare is able to have a dominant power of Irene throughout the book. The passage states, “Irene Redfield had a sudden inexplicable onrush of affectionate feeling.” (194) This feeling towards Clare was not the first mentioning of Irene displaying interest in Clare. Larsen presents the idea that Clare charms Irene at the very first encounter. Larsen states, “An attractive-looking woman, was Irene’s opinion…” (148) Due to these tendencies Irene has of Clare, it makes Irene very vulnerable and weak when it comes to anything concerning Clare. It is recognizable mostly in the “Re-Encounter” that Irene wants to destroy her attraction to Clare. Irene comforted Claire despite her bittersweet relationship with Clare. “Why, Clare! I didn’t know. Forgive me. I feel like seven beasts. It was stupid of me not to realize.” (196) It is interesting that despite the hatred and jealousy Irene had towards Clare at times, she was still easily manipulative into being Clare’s puppet. Knowing the nature of Clare and her seductive characteristics, she is able to persuade...

Indian Rural Market: Brief Overview Rural markets have emerged as an important growth engine in the Indian consumption story. With about 70 per cent of the Indian population residing in the hinterlands, rural markets seem to be a significant opportunity for business conglomerates. Rural spending was significantly higher at Rs 3, 75, 000 crore (US$ 69.44 billion) than urban consumption at Rs 2, 99, 400 crore (US$ 55.44 billion) between 2009-10 and 2011-12; wherein rural consumption per person outpaced its urban counterpart by 2 per cent, according to a study by CRISIL and preliminary data released for 2011-12 by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO). Rural penetration of major durables has seen a significant up-surge. For instance, TV penetration has moved from around 31 per cent in 2007 to 39.8 per cent in 2010 while motorcycles/scooter penetration increased from 9.5 per cent to 13.9 per cent in the same period. Around 75 per cent of the sales in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) and consumer durables sectors are accounted by Indian rural markets. Industry experts are already saying that rural India is not only shining, but...

To be set up at a cost of Rs 50 crores, the hospital will be completed in three phases. The first phase is likely to become operational without the oncology department within the next couple of months. Said Debashish Poddar, managing director, BP Poddar Hospital & Medical Research Limited, "It will not be a so called state-of-the-art hospital but a hospital, which will ensure healthcare deliver of international standards within the affordable limits of the common man. The hospital is the culmination of the dream of Arun Poddar, Chairman of the Group and his family to perpetuate the memory of his father Late BP Poddar, he added. Despite being a multispeciality unit, the focus area of the hospital will be oncology. All possible imaging facilities will be provided at the hospital. The management has applied for necessary regulatory clearances from Bhaba Atomic Research Centre (BARC) to start radiation therapy for treatment of cancer.
