In underwater acoustic networks (UWANs) with bidirectional communication links, channel state information (CSI) plays an important role since having a good channel knowledge allows system performance enhancements. Two communicating nodes can use the information obtained by their respective channel estimation in order to adjust the transmission parameters to the channel characteristics. However forward...
This paper examines the problem of generating testing actions for electronic industry test systems designed for verification of electronic packages of UHF band. This paper shows complex problems of setting amplitude and time parameters of multichannel generators of test signals. The problems of multichannel wide range signal generation and frequency control, rise and fall time control, pulse time...
In this paper, we propose a positioning system using a time-synchronized wireless network that can achieve high positioning accuracy without being dependent on any global positioning system (GPS) devices with cm-level accuracy as the main goal and objective. The proposed system utilizes time of arrival (ToA) method to estimate the target's position. Based on the results, we can achieve time synchronization...
In this paper, the problem of exponential synchronization of Chaotic Lur'e systems with sampled-data control is investigated. It's noted that the sampling periods are arbitrarily varying and bounded. A novel Lyapunov functional is proposed which takes full advantage of the available information about the actual sampling patterns. A linear matrix inequality method is utilized to design the sampled-data...
A large number of WSN applications with bursty traffic have emerged in the recent past such as rare event detection and forest fire monitoring. Bursty traffic in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offers various challenges in terms of reliability and latency. Unlike periodic monitoring, energy consumption is far more challenging to deal with in WSN applications with bursty traffic due to long periods...
This paper discusses the time synchronization issue in wireless sensor networks. An event-triggered average consensus time synchronization algorithm is proposed. This algorithm uses the average time message from one node's one-hop neighbors to update the clock parameters of the node. And it achieved acceptable synchronization accuracy. We also proposed an event-trigger mechanism to reduce the communication...
This paper is concerned with globally asymptotical synchronization of fractional-order memristor-based neural networks (FMNNs) with multiple time-varying delays. Based on the definition of memristors, a more practical model of FMNNs with multiple time-varying delays is constructed from the integerorder counterparts. FMNNs are represented by fractional-order differential equations with discontinuous...
In this paper, the distributed tracking problem for heterogeneous second-order multiagent systems with nonlinear dynamics is studied. Both the dynamics among the followers and the dynamics between the leader and each follower are heterogeneous. A sampled-data-based consensus protocol is proposed. In addition, the communication delays are considered. Based on Lyapunov stability theory and linear matrix...
Problems with power quality in the grid have gained a lot of attention recently due to rapid increase in the amount of grid-connected power converters. The converter should produce sinusoidal currents also during abnormal conditions, such as unbalanced grid voltages. Several methods, like the delayed signal cancellation-based method (DSC), have been proposed to alleviate the detrimental effect of...
In industrial automation, EtherCAT is a real-time communication protocol widely employed in the local computer networks for fast and predictable data communication between system processes. End-to-end delay is a key performance indicator to industrial applications as it reflects the real-time capability of the system. This paper explores end-to-end delays of EtherCAT-based control systems under different...
Due to its modularity and scalability, modular multilevel converter is a promising topology for medium voltage applications, such as energy storage or motor drives. Because of the large number of modules, the wiring can become complex if the conventional star topology communication network is used. To solve this issue, a communication link that uses a ring topology to connect the central controller...
This paper studies the problem of lag synchronization for a kind of neural networks with mixed delays including discrete and distributed delays via adaptive intermittent control. By using stability analysis method and introducing a piecewise continuous auxiliary function, some global lag synchronization criteria are derived. It is noted that the control periods as well as the control widths in our...
Upset hardened dual-interlocked cell (DICE) [1] has found an important place in circuits for space applications due to its ability to mitigate single event upsets (SEUs). In this paper, we show that DICE latch/flip-flop exhibits better immunity to metastability compared to D flip-flop, and can be used as data synchronizer. Metastablity constant (τ), whose inverse captures the ability of the latch...
This paper is concerned with the exponential lag anti-synchronization for a class of memristive neural networks with multiple time delays. By utilizing discontinuous control theory, several new sufficient conditions concerning exponential lag anti-synchronization are obtained. The obtained results complement and extend earlier publications on memristive or conventional neural networks. Finally, numerical...
An accurate synchronization method for 5G channel measurement is proposed. This method provides stable and accurate (< 1 ns error) synchronized trigger signal to the transmitter and the receiver. Because this method does not need a long cable to provide the synchronized trigger signal, the setup for channel measurement is easy. A verification of a channel in a simple environment is measured. By...
Multi-channel speech enhancement algorithms rely on a synchronous sampling of the microphone signals. This, however, cannot always be guaranteed, especially if the sensors are distributed in an environment. To avoid performance degradation the sampling rate offset needs to be estimated and compensated for. In this contribution we extend the recently proposed coherence drift based method in two important...
In order to counteract hostile communication based on the advanced Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technology, an efficient and unrecognizable jamming technique by failing the OFDM cyclic prefix (CP) functionality is developed in the paper. CP is introduced into OFDM systems to prevent interference caused by the multipath fading, as long as it is no shorter than the channel delay...
Conventional correlation-based frame synchronization techniques can suffer significant performance degradation over multi-path frequency-selective channels. As a remedy, in this paper we consider joint frame synchronization and channel estimation. This, however, increases the length of the resulting combined channel and its estimation becomes more challenging. On the other hand, since the combined...
The SATURN Enhanced Data Rate (SEDR) waveform has been introduced by Line Of Sight (LOS) NATO standardization group as the new coalition standard for military airborne Ultra High Frequency (UHF) communications. However, the current design of its physical layer presents several shortcomings since it is a straightforward transposition of SATURN definition to wider channels. Indeed, new generation wide-band...
Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) is becoming more important in automotive and industrial sectors. There is no clear strategy how to use TSN to improve and migrate the established real-time protocols without excluding legacy devices. This paper presents a realistic concept to integrate TSN into automation networks. We choose Sercos as a deterministic Industrial-Ethernet protocol to be extended with...
