Parametric-Based Mobility For Providing Opportunistic Geocasting In Spatially Separated Wireless Sensor Networks, Selvi Ravindran, Narayanasamy Palanisamy, Vetriselvi Vetrian

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Uneven deployment and environment constraint leads to the formation of a spatially separated wireless sensor network (SS-WSN). Most of the traditional WSN architectures consist of static nodes that are densely deployed over a sensing area and are fully connected. SS-WSN is a group of disjoint subnetworks where connectivity is generally maintained by energy rich mobile nodes (ERMN), which roam about from one subnetwork to another. We propose an algorithm whereby the mobility of ERMN helps in distributing the geo message opportunistically in the region of interest. The routing consists of two phases: (1) transmission of the geo message from the …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Direct instantaneous torque control (DITC) is one way of controlling torque in switched reluctance motors. Despite the presence of DITC control, torque ripple at nominal or higher speeds is considerable due to the back emf increasing. To overcome this drawback, many converters have been proposed. In most convertors proposed for fast excitation in DITC, controlling of boost capacity is an important problem. This paper presents a DITC for a switched reluctance motor using a proposed converter to reduce the torque ripple with controlled boost capacitor automatically. The proposed converter reduces the torque ripple at rated or higher speeds and no …

A Dynamic Spectrum Management Algorithm In Vdsl Systems, Sunil Sharma, Om Parkash Sahu Jan 2016

A Dynamic Spectrum Management Algorithm In Vdsl Systems, Sunil Sharma, Om Parkash Sahu

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A modified iterative water-filling algorithm is proposed in which power from only those subcarriers of the near end user are reduced, which has the worst effect on bit rates of far end users. The power back off from these subcarriers is done by reducing power spectral masks at respective subcarriers. The results after simulating the proposed algorithm give significant performance advantages in terms of data rate over the traditional iterative water-filling algorithm. These results approach the performance of highly complex optimal spectrum management algorithms while maintaining the complexity of the traditional iterative water-filling algorithm.

Stability Criterion For Uncertain 2-$D$ Discrete Systems With Interval-Like Time-Varying Delay Employing Quantization/Overflow Nonlinearities, Siva Kumar Tadepalli, Venkata Krishna Rao Kandanvli, Haranath Kar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

This paper considers the problem of global asymptotic stability of a class of two-dimensional (2-$D$) uncertain discrete systems described by the Fornasini-Marchesini second local state-space (FMSLSS) model under the influence of various combinations of quantization/overflow nonlinearities and interval-like time-varying delay in the state. The systems under consideration involve parameter uncertainties that are assumed to be deterministic and norm-bounded. A delay-dependent stability criterion is established by bounding the forward difference of the 2-$D$ Lyapunov functional using the reciprocally convex approach. The criterion is compared with a recently reported criterion.

Design schemes were carefully performed and the postdesign system was tested through system simulation with MATLAB/Simulink software. The simulated system offers promising and significant results, thus making it suitable for hardware implementation.
