Although power line communication (PLC) systems are available everywhere, unfortunately these systems are not suitable for information transmission due to the effects of the impulsive noise. Therefore, many previous studies on channel codes…
Robust spatial audio control relies on accurate acoustic propagation models, yet environmental variations, especially changes in the speed of sound, cause systematic mismatches that degrade performance. Existing methods either assume known…
