التّناص الدّيني والأدبي في شعر ابن اللّبانة الدّاني (ت 507 هـ) القرآن الكريم والشّعر القديم أنموذجان

The focus of this research is on addressing the theme of intertextuality in the Andalusian poetry of Ibn al-Labbanah al-Dani, and on addressing its manifestations and how the poet benefited from the Quranic verses. In view of what the Holy Qur'an offers to the creator of the broad linguistic potential, as well as the ancient Arab poetic heritage, rich in high poetic images and meanings in both the expressive and aesthetic aspects. The research concludes that our poet was always acquainted with the miraculous Qur’anic text, and with constant contact with previous poetic texts.

Performance Improvement of Wireless Cellular Technology Using Adaptive Array System

The objective of this dissertation is to investigate and design adaptive beamforming algorithms in order to improve the performance of wireless cellular technology in spatial domain. For this purpose, blind and non-blind beamforming concepts and related algorithms are investigated; Least Mean square (LMS), Constant Modulus Algorithm (CMA) and others. These algorithms suffer from optimization problems like gain enhancement, interference rejection, high power transmission, bit error rate (BER), minimization of mean square error (MSE) and rate of convergence which undermines their performance in the application of smart antenna array system. In view of these deficiencies, non-blind technique using LMS and MUSIC algorithms is evaluated for selection of parameters for further analysis. A new algorithm namely Bessel Least Mean Square (BLMS) is proposed. Its performance is then evaluated and compared with LMS in order to determine its efficiency in terms of array gain, MSE, BER and convergence performance based on the chosen parameters. Performance improvement is achieved by proposed algorithm over the conventional LMS algorithm. The improvement in BLMS is attributed by introducing a non-uniform step size. This non-uniform step size is obtained from the interaction of Bessel and step size functions. The Bessel function of the first kind has inherent monotonically decreasing property which generates coefficients equal to the number of elements that helps the proposed BLMS algorithm in convergence effectively as compared to LMS algorithm that is based on a constant step size. Further, the analysis of blind technique using CMA and MUSIC algorithms has similarly been investigated for the same selected parameters as above. For blind beamforming, novel algorithms named as Kaiser Constant Modulus Algorithm (KCMA) and Hamming CMA (HAMCMA) using window techniques are proposed and implemented. Their performance is then compared with CMA in terms of array gain, MSE and BER. The KCMA has shown improved performance and this improvement in KCMA is justified in terms of facilitating independent control of the main lobe width and ripple ratio. The HAMCMA, based on fixed type window function has shown better xx iv results in terms of array gain and sidelobe level (SLL) but lacks in BER performance as compared to CMA. The reduction in SLL by these blind beamforming algorithms signifies that using the proposed methods the interferences are very low. Finally, BLMS with Automatic Gain Control (AGC) is proposed by making its step size variable which can update itself from signal array vector. The real model of BLMS is developed and tested for its efficiency in terms of signal recovery, directive gain by minimizing MSE using the “wavrecord” function to bring live audio data in WAV format into the MATLAB workspace and compared with real model of LMS in terms of gain and MSE. From the results presented in the thesis, it is concluded that the proposed algorithms lead to improve in the performance as compared to LMS and CMA algorithms and can be utilized efficiently for further enhancement of wireless cellular technology.
