The signals received from these satellite systems will be fused inferentially and will be tracked according to a linear model. The linear model that we developed is solved with a Kalman filter and simulated under different scenarios. When a discrepancy is detected in the output of one of the GNSS receivers due …


Disk Scheduling With Shortest Cumulative Access Time First Algorithms, Nai̇l Akar, Çağlar Tunç, Mark Gaertner, Fati̇h Erden Jan 2017

Disk Scheduling With Shortest Cumulative Access Time First Algorithms, Nai̇l Akar, Çağlar Tunç, Mark Gaertner, Fati̇h Erden

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

A new class of scheduling algorithms is proposed for disk drive scheduling. As opposed to choosing the request with the shortest access time in conventional shortest access time first (SATF) algorithms, we choose an ordered sequence of pending I/O requests at the scheduling instant with the shortest cumulative access time. Additionally, we introduce flexibility for forthcoming requests to alter the chosen sequence. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed disk scheduler. Throughput gains of 3% and above are shown to be attainable, although this occurs at the expense of increased computational complexity.

Computational Modeling & Simulation Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper investigates the secrecy rates and optimal power allocation schemes for a decode-and-forward wiretap relay channel where the transmission from a source to a destination is aided by a relay operating in a full-duplex (FD) mode under practical residual self-interference. By first considering static channels, we address the non-convex optimal power allocation problems between the source and relay nodes under individual and joint power constraints to establish closed-form solutions. An asymptotic analysis is then given to provide important insights on the derived power allocation solutions. Specifically, by using the method of dominant balance, it is demonstrated that full power …

A New Approach To Pulse Deinterleaving Based On Adaptive Thresholding, Mostafa Bagheri, Mohammad Hossein Sedaaghi Jan 2017

A New Approach To Pulse Deinterleaving Based On Adaptive Thresholding, Mostafa Bagheri, Mohammad Hossein Sedaaghi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Since histogram-based methods are formed by some simple differences, they are very desirable for deinterleaving. However, their main imperfection concerns recognizing complex pulse repetition interval (PRI) patterns like jittered and staggered ones.In this paper, we present new thresholds to detect jittered and staggered PRI from histogram-based methods even in complex circumstances such as noisy time of arrival (TOA), complex PRI patterns, and large missing pulses. Simulation results demonstrate that our method can detect and extract constant, jittered, and staggered PRI correctly. Moreover, the method is proved to be considerably robust and reliable at a missing pulses rate up to 30%.

An Intelligent Approach In Delay Tolerant Network Routing, Azadeh Omidvar, Karim Mohammadi Jan 2017

An Intelligent Approach In Delay Tolerant Network Routing, Azadeh Omidvar, Karim Mohammadi

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Delay tolerant networks (DTNs) are wireless intermittent networks. DTNs have different applications such as wildlife tracking, military, and space searching. Conventional mobile ad hoc network (MANET) routing protocols are not efficient in these networks because of intermittency. DTNs use store-carry-forward (SCF) for data transferring. In SCF, nodes store the messages and carry them until finding appropriate nodes for forwarding. Message replication greatly helps to improve the delivery ratio while increasing overhead. This paper examines the use of intelligent routing to choose nodes that have more probability to reach their destination. This will help to increase the message delivery ratio while …
