Interference between users in adjacent channels negatively affects throughput of mobile networks. In this paper we aim at cancellation of interference caused by a nonlinear power amplifier in a generalized orthogonal frequency division system. We propose an interference cancellation method to subtract these out-of-band emissions from the received signal. In contrast to state-of-the-art methods, our proposed method employs over-the-air estimation of power amplifier model parameters together with a particular frequency domain filtering method that allows to generate the required training data. The proposed interference cancellation method is also verified by an experiment on a software defined radio test bench.
Background: Aerobic fitness level (AFL) is a parameter closely related to a person's overall health. The gold standard of measurement is currently using expensive laboratory equipment.Aims: This study aimed to estimate AFL automatically using data measured with wearables.Methods: AFL was estimated in 2D space. The first dimension is the exertion level, and the second is the body's response to the exertion. Exertion level was determined based on metabolic equivalent calculated for each classified activity using the data of speed and elevation.
The activity classification is based on deep neural networks. The body's response estimation is based on heart rate calculated from ECG or PPG.The test set contained 27 subjects. The reference was measured under laboratory conditions using the gold standard method. AFL classification by ACSM guidelines was used.Results: AFL determined by our algorithm were 0.44±0. 09, 0.50±0.10, 0.53±0.09, 0.58±0.15, and 0.70±0.07 for the reference classes very poor, poor, fair, good, and excellent, respectively. The correlation between the reference and determined values is 0.76. Conclusion: Our method showed promising results and will be further developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
