Robust low bit rate speech coders are essential in commercial and military communication systems. They operate at fixed bit rates and bit rates cannot be altered without major modifications in the vocoder design. In this paper we introduce a novel approach to vocoders by coding the time-scale modified input speech signal. The proposed method offers any bit rate from 2400 to 720 bits/s without modifying the vocoder structure. Simulation results, which mainly concentrate on intelligibility, talker recognisability and voice quality versus codec complexity and delay, are also presented. The proposed scaled speech coder delivers communication quality speech at half the bit rate of the new US Federal Standard, mixed excitation linear prediction vocoder.

A Complex Event Processing Based Framework for Intelligent Environments Avenoglu, Bilgin; Eren, Pekin Erhan (2013-07-19) The variety and volume of data produced by devices and sensors in Intelligent Environments (IEs) pose difficulties regarding their collection, analysis and delivery. More specifically, extraction of high level information valuable for the users requires specialized analysis techniques. In this study, we present a framework incorporating complex event processing (CEP) and publish-subscribe based messaging for addressing such needs. Within the framework, data are collected from heterogeneous data sources to g...
A dual band antenna design for implantable medical devices ALPTEKİN, DAMLA; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; KUCUKDEVECİ, Fikret (2014-10-17) In this study, design and the numerical analysis of a dual band (MICS (Medical Implant Communications Service; 402-405MHz) and ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical; 2.4-2.48GHz)) implantable antenna which is planned to be inserted in the header of the medical device is presented. The proposed medical implantable antenna (MIA) is in the type of planar inverted F Antenna (PIFA). For miniaturization, the metallic patch of the antenna is meandered and a shorting-pin is used between the patch and ground plane...
New approaches in cellular radio systems using dynamic radio channel management Yilmaz, N; Ergul, FR (2004-10-27) New approaches are presented to facilitate dynamic radio bandwidth management for mobile communication systems. The aim is achieve an overall high level of QoS for both handoff calls and new calls. At the same time, the utilization of wireless network resources, i.e. the revenues earned by the operator. The simultaneous satisfaction of these two conflicting interests, under varying mobility and network traffic conditions, will be difficult. However, a balanced operation could be obtained by applying two nov...
A Flexible and Scalable Audio Information Retrieval System for Mixed-Type Audio Signals Dogan, Ebru; SERT, MUSTAFA; Yazıcı, Adnan (Wiley, 2011-10-01) The content-based classification and retrieval of real-world audio clips is one of the challenging tasks in multimedia information retrieval. Although the problem has been well studied in the last two decades, most of the current retrieval systems cannot provide flexible querying of audio clips due to the mixed-type form (e.g., speech over music and speech over environmental sound) of audio information in real world. We present here a complete, scalable, and extensible content-based classification and retri...
A Scheduling method for sporadic traffics in industrial IoT Özceylan, Baver; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Internet of Things technology continues to develop as a commercial value and it has become one of the core elements of Industry 4.0 paradigm. Together with that, IEEE 802.15.4e standard provides Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) operation mode especially for industrial applications that have strict QoS requirements. In spite of the fact that the standard defines frame structure in MAC layer, there has been no standardization in scheduling for TSCH frame yet. It brings serious challenge for engineering des...
