In this paper novel project scheduling difficulty estimations are proposed for Multi-Skill Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (MS-RCPSP). The main goal of introducing the complexity estimations is an attempt of estimation the project complexity before launching the optimization process. What is more, the dataset instance generator is also presented as a tool to create new instances for...
A new type of recursive soft sequential estimation (RSSE) algorithm is presented. The algorithm can be used for fast initial synchronization of pseudonoise (PN) signals based on m-sequences. The key feature of the algorithm is the grouping of binary symbols and the reception of the group as a whole symbol. Different numbers of binary symbols in the group lead to different estimation algorithms in...
Soft errors caused by ionizing radiation have emerged as a major concern for current generation of CMOS technologies and the trend is expected to get worse. Soft error rate (SER) measurement, expressed as number of failures encountered per billion hours of device operation, is time consuming and involves significant test cost. The cost stems from having to connect a device-under-test to a tester for...
The challenges of deriving early-adopter competitive advantage, even with fabless access to process technology, through leveraging features offered by the advanced, and possibly disruptive, process technologies in real SoC products, are outlined. A structured methodology for addressing these challenges, and bridging the gap between process and design, sufficiently early in the development cycle to...
In this paper, a low-complexity power-efficient iterative detection scheme for differentially encoded MPSK transmission over AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels is presented. As the main contribution, a novel APP coherent demodulator, which well suits for iterative processing, is derived under the optimal bit-based MAP criterion. The implementation of iteration is not trellis-based, and needn’t reconstruct...
The size of unified modeling language (UML) models used in practice is very large and ranges up to hundreds and thousands of classes. Querying of these models is used to support their quality assessment by information filtering and aggregating. For both, human cognition and automated analysis, there is a need for fast querying. In this context performance of model queries becomes an important issue...
Li and Xia have recently investigated the design of space-time codes that achieve full spatial diversity for asynchronous cooperative communications. They show that certain of the binary space-time trellis codes derived from the Hammons-El Gamal stacking construction are delay tolerant and can be used in the multilevel code constructions by Lu and Kumar to produce delay tolerant space-time codes for...
Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the modulation scheme of choice for digital video broadcasting-handheld (DVB-H) which is required to operate under high mobility conditions resulting in significant Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI). Under these conditions, the conventional one-tap per subcarrier channel estimation and equalization is suboptimal since it does not account for ICI...
In this paper, a novel approach using frame-based iterative channel fading parameters estimation technique from the received data sequence exploiting orthogonal property of the space-time block (STB) code is proposed. For practical implementation of STB code, the receiver requires to estimate these parameters. Regarding this type of estimation, the inherent orthogonal nature of STB code can be exploited...
