Effect Of Nonuniform Varying Delay On The Rate Of Convergence In Averaging-Based Consensus, Onur Ci̇han, Mehmet Akar
Effect Of Nonuniform Varying Delay On The Rate Of Convergence In Averaging-Based Consensus, Onur Ci̇han, Mehmet Akar
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper discusses the effect of nonuniform varying communication delay on distributed consensus algorithms in discrete time. After introducing the delayed mathematical model, we first investigate the ergodicity of the delayed system using the properties of scrambling matrices. Subsequently, the effect of nonuniform varying delay on convergence is examined. It is shown theoretically that nonuniform delay is not detrimental to the convergence rate of the algorithm for directed acyclic graphs. The results are also illustrated with several numerical examples.

Rfid Card Security For Public Transportation Applications Based On A Novel Neural Network Analysis Of Cardholder Behavior Characteristics, Gürsel Düzenli̇
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper proposes a novel approach that applies neural network forecasting to security for closed-loop prepaid cards based on low-cost technologies such as RFID and 1-Wire. The security vulnerability of low-cost RFID closed-loop prepaid card systems originates mostly from the card itself. Criminal organizations counterfeit or clone card data. Although high-security prepaid cards exist, they are often too expensive for transport ticketing, and even their security is not guaranteed for a well-defined period of time. Therefore, data encryption systems are used widely against counterfeiting with success. However, it has not been possible to develop countermeasures with comparable success against cloning. …

New Metrics For Clustering Of Identical Products Over Imperfect Data, Zeki̇ Yetgi̇n, Furkan Gözükara
New Metrics For Clustering Of Identical Products Over Imperfect Data, Zeki̇ Yetgi̇n, Furkan Gözükara
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
This paper introduces the concept of product identity-clustering based on new similarity metrics and new performance metrics for web-crawled products. Product identity-clustering is defined here as the clustering of identical products, e.g., for price comparison purposes. Products blindly crawled over web sources, e.g., online marketplaces, have different description formats, where the features describing the same products differ in both number and representation formats. This problem causes imperfect feature vectors, where the vectors are considered to be not uniform in length and structure, with the features of various data types (numeric, categorical), and unknown vector structures. Furthermore, the product information usually …

Regulation Of Methane Gas Output From An Anaerobic Reactor System Using Moving Horizon $H_{\Infty }$ Control, Fatma Yildiz Taşcikaraoğlu, Şeref Naci̇ Engi̇n
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In this study, the moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$\textbf{ }control used for tracking a desired methane gas output from an anaerobic wastewater treatment reactor is compared with classical $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control and a proportional-integral-derivative controller. The nonlinear system is first linearized around the set of equilibrium and operating points selected, and then the linear matrix inequalities required to comply with the constraints and guarantee the stability are constructed. Finally, the experimental results are obtained by implementing the control method in a MATLAB environment. It is concluded that moving horizon $\mathcal{H}_{\infty }$ control yields satisfactory results.
3d Imaging For Ground-Penetrating Radars Via Dictionarydimension Reduction, Muhammed Duman, Ali̇ Cafer Gürbüz
3d Imaging For Ground-Penetrating Radars Via Dictionarydimension Reduction, Muhammed Duman, Ali̇ Cafer Gürbüz
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) has been widely used in detecting or imaging subsurface targets. In many applications such as archaeology, utility imaging, or landmine detection, three-dimensional (3D) images of the subsurface region is required for better understanding of the sensed medium. However, a high-resolution 3D image requires wideband data collection both in spatial and time/frequency domains. Match filtering is the main tool for generating subsurface images. Applying match filtering with the data acquisition impulse response for each possible voxel in the 3D region with the collected data requires both a tremendous amount of computer memory and computational complexity. Hence, it is …

Ofdma-Based Multicast With Multiple Base Stations, Ahmet Ci̇hat Kazez, Tolga Gi̇ri̇ci̇
Ofdma-Based Multicast With Multiple Base Stations, Ahmet Ci̇hat Kazez, Tolga Gi̇ri̇ci̇
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
We consider an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based multicast system where multiple base stations transmit a multicast session to a multicast group. The goal is to maximize the multicast rate (i.e. the minimum achievable user rate) subject to a total power constraint. We assume the use of an erasure code (e.g., a Reed--Solomon code) or rateless code (e.g., Luby transform code). This facilitates each user to accumulate rates from their best subchannels, so that the achievable multicast rate is not limited to the worst user. The resource allocation problem involves determining the transmitting base station at each OFDMA subchannel, …

Effective Cooperative Dtv Detection Using The Goertzel Algorithm, Selman Kulaç, Murat Hüsnü Sazli
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
In digital TV (DTV) detection, to monitor the DTV spectrum, only pilot tone frequency values can be observed in order to achieve calculation and energy savings. These savings can be achieved using the Goertzel algorithm. However, more than one receiver sensor is needed in order to increase the detection quality. In this technique, the Goertzel algorithm is used for energy-efficient pilot tone detection and a new effective cooperative structure is proposed. There is no extra fusion center and more than one DTV band can be monitored with this OR rule-based cooperative structure. With this new cooperative structure, reaching the desired …
