This work introduces new signal constellations based on Eisenstein integers, i.e., the hexagonal lattice. These sets of Eisenstein integers have a cardinality which is an integer power of three. They are proposed as signal constellations for representation in the equivalent complex baseband model, especially for applications like physical-layer network coding or MIMO transmission where the constellation is required to be a subset of a lattice. It is shown that these constellations form additive groups where the addition over the complex plane corresponds to the addition with carry over ternary Galois fields. A ternary set partitioning is derived that enables multilevel coding based on ternary error-correcting codes. In the subsets, this partitioning achieves a gain of 4.77 dB, which results from an increased minimum squared Euclidean distance of the signal points. Furthermore, the constellation-constrained capacities over the AWGN channel and the related level capacities in case of ternary multilevel coding are investigated. Simulation results for multilevel coding based on ternary LDPC codes are presented which show that a performance close to the constellation-constrained capacities can be achieved.
The computational complexity of the optimal maximum likelihood (ML) detector for spatial modulation increases rapidly as more transmit antennas or larger modulation orders are employed. Hence, ML detection may be infeasible for higher bit rates. This work proposes an improved suboptimal detection algorithm based on the Gaussian approximation method. It is demonstrated that the new method is closely related to the previously published signal vector based detection and the modified maximum ratio combiner, but can improve the detection performance compared to these methods. Furthermore, the performance of different signal constellations with suboptimal detection is investigated. Simulation results indicate that the performance loss compared to ML detection depends heavily on the signal constellation, where the recently proposed Eisenstein integer constellations are beneficial compared to classical QAM or PSK constellations.
This document presents an algorithm for a non-obtrusive recognition of Sleep/Wake states using signals derived from ECG, respiration, and body movement captured while lying in a bed. As a core mathematical base of system data analytics, multinomial logistic regression techniques were chosen. Derived parameters of the three signals are used as the input for the proposed method. The overall achieved accuracy rate is 84% for Wake/Sleep stages, with Cohen’s kappa value 0.46. The presented algorithm should support experts in analyzing sleep quality in more detail. The results confirm the potential of this method and disclose several ways for its improvement.
Angesichts der aktuellen höchstrichterlichen Rechtsprechung ist der betagte oder sonst hinfällige, auf Geldentschädigung klagende Verletzte gezwungen, in Rechtsmittelüberlegungen sein nahendes Ableben als erhebliches Prozessrisiko mit einzubeziehen. Das führt zu einer beträchtlichen Schmälerung der ideellen Bestandteile seines Persönlichkeitsrechts. Es ist daher dringend geboten, im Wege der richterlichen Rechtsfortbildung Kriterien für Ausnahmefallgruppen aufzustellen, um untragbare Härtefälle künftig verlässlich auszuschließen.
Die Massai greifen seit einiger Zeit international agierende Modehäuser an. Unstatthafte kulturelle Aneignung, so lautet der Vorwurf. Die Volksgruppe will die Unternehmen nun mit ihren eigenen Waffen schlagen. Sie plant, ihre kulturellen Zeichen zu kommodifizieren. Wer das vorhat, ist mit dem Eintritt ins internationale Marktgeschehen zwangsläufig denselben Regeln unterworfen wie alle anderen Marktteilnehmer auch. Das heißt: Ohne solide Ausschließlichkeitsrechte werden die Massai von möglichen Verhandlungspartnern als potentielle Lizenzgeber erwartungsgemäß nicht ernst genommen werden. Auch läuft die afrikanische Volkgsruppe Gefahr, dass die kulturell-historische Bedeutung ihrer Zeichen im Wege eines kommerziellen Einsatzes überschrieben oder im schlimmsten Fall sogar umgedeutet wird.
Why does a teacher use drama elements in her language classes? This article critically reflects on the author's experiences with employing drama elements in a compulsory class of German as a Foreign Language at college level. Motives for using drama are discussed, with regard to possible positive effects for the teacher-such as rapport with learners and personal confidence-and potential benefits for the language learners-such as promoting vocabulary and grammar learning, fostering oral skills and increasing motivation. After that the drama activities used in class are briefly described. However, two years of experimentation have also shown up a number of problems with implementing drama elements in class and still leave questions open, requiring further iterations of the drama-based approach in this context. The paper was developed from a talk given at the Drama in Education Days in Konstanz 2018.
