- Bandwidth Extension of Telephone Speech Using Frame-Based Excitation and Robust Features
- The standards that are still in use for telephone communications since the 1950s limit the information bandwidth to 300-3400Hz. However, in normal conversational speech, the frequency content is mainly between 0-8000Hz. This constraint degrades not only the sound quality but also the intelligibility of the transmitted signal. Instead of modifying...

- Distributed Flow Control and Medium Access in Multihop Ad Hoc Networks
- Recent studies have shown that the performance of wireless multihop ad hoc networks is very poor. This paper demonstrates that one important reason of the poor performance is the close coupling between medium contention and network congestion. Therefore, it presents a framework of distributed flow control and medium access control...
