Channel And Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation Based On Projection Onto Abidimensional Basis, Roberto Carrasco Alvarez, Ramon Parra Michel, Aldo Gustavo Orozco Lugo, Marco Antonio Gurrola Navarro Jan 2019

Channel And Carrier Frequency Offset Estimation Based On Projection Onto Abidimensional Basis, Roberto Carrasco Alvarez, Ramon Parra Michel, Aldo Gustavo Orozco Lugo, Marco Antonio Gurrola Navarro

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Two of the most counterproductive effects that must be dealt with in communication systems in realistic environments are carrier frequency offset (CFO) and time-varying channels. These problems are usually addressed by using independent approaches for each one. This paper introduces an algorithm that attacks both of these effects in a joint fashion. It is based on a rough compensation of CFO, and after considering that the remaining CFO uncertainty can be seen as part of the time-varying channel a channel estimation that includes that composite channel is performed. Particularly, the channel estimation based on projection onto a bidimensional basis is …


A Light-Weight Solution For Blackhole Attacks In Wireless Sensor Networks, Bi̇lal Erman Bi̇lgi̇n, Selçuk Baktir Jan 2019

A Light-Weight Solution For Blackhole Attacks In Wireless Sensor Networks, Bi̇lal Erman Bi̇lgi̇n, Selçuk Baktir

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Wireless sensors, which are smaller and cheaper, have started being used in many different applications. Military applications, health care and industrial monitoring, environmental applications, smart grids, and vehicular ad-hoc networks are some of the best known applications of wireless sensors. In some applications, especially military, environmental, and health care applications, it is required that the communication between sensor nodes be encrypted to achieve privacy and confidentiality. In this work, some modifications have been made to the ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocol, mostly preferred in wireless sensor networks, to make data communications more reliable. The proposed routing protocol is shown …


Space-Track Modulation And Coding For High Density Aerial Vehicle Downlinknetworks With Free Space Optical And Visible Light Communications, Burhan Gülbahar Jan 2019

Space-Track Modulation And Coding For High Density Aerial Vehicle Downlinknetworks With Free Space Optical And Visible Light Communications, Burhan Gülbahar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Aerial vehicles (AVs) have challenges in terms of realizing low complexity and wide coverage area wireless communications architectures, especially for crowded or high density groups of AVs with state-of-the-art free space optical (FSO) and radio frequency (RF) based system designs. FSO architectures generally target point-to-point high gain directional links while requiring strict acquisition and tracking due to the narrow beam width of laser transmitters with challenges of vibration, turbulence, misalignment, atmospheric absorption, scattering, and fading. In this article, a novel multiuser free space optical system design of modulation and coding denoted by space-track modulation and coding (STMC) is proposed for …


Prioritizing Interdependent Software Requirements Using Tensor And Fuzzy Graphs, Negin Misaghian, Homayun Motameni, Mohsen Rabbani Jan 2019

Prioritizing Interdependent Software Requirements Using Tensor And Fuzzy Graphs, Negin Misaghian, Homayun Motameni, Mohsen Rabbani

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Owing to the special stance of prioritizing tasks in requirements engineering processes, and as the requirements are not independent in nature, considering their dependencies is essential during the prioritizing process. Although different classifications of dependency types among requirements exist, only a few approaches in the prioritization process consider such valuable data (dependency among equirements). To achieve a practical prioritization, this study proposes a method based on the effects of the requirement dependencies (increase/decrease cost of) on the value of prioritization provided by the tensor concept. Since the strengths of dependencies are also influential factors in the act of prioritization, The …


State-Space Identification Of Switching Linear Discrete Time-Periodic Systems Withknown Scheduling Signals, İsmai̇l Uyanik, Hasan Hamzaçebi̇, Mustafa Mert Ankarali Jan 2019

State-Space Identification Of Switching Linear Discrete Time-Periodic Systems Withknown Scheduling Signals, İsmai̇l Uyanik, Hasan Hamzaçebi̇, Mustafa Mert Ankarali

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain state-space identification method for switching linear discrete time-periodic (LDTP) systems with known scheduling signals. The state-space identification problem of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems has been widely studied both in the time and frequency domains. Indeed, there have been several studies that also concentrated on state-space identification of both continuous and discrete linear time-periodic (LTP) systems. The focus in this study is the family of LDTP systems that switch among a finite set of subsystems triggered by known periodic scheduling signals. We address the state-space identification of such systems in frequency domain …
