Time synchronization, aiming to provide a common timescale among distributed sensor nodes, is a key enabling technology for many applications, such as collaborative condition monitoring and localization detection. Due to the complexity of time synchronization in wireless sensor networks, the Discrete Event Simulator is recommended to adopt resulting from the feature that the behavior of a complex...
Power utilities are increasingly dependent on the use of communications networks. These networks are evolving to be packet-based, rather than using conventional Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) technologies. Transporting current differential protection traffic over a packet network is especially challenging, due to the safety-critical nature of protection, the strict requirements for low delay and...
A comprehensive guide to practical line current differential schemes using digitalcommunications. Operating principles, synchronization methods, channel requirements, currenttransformer requirements, external time reference requirements, backup considerations, testingconsiderations, and troubleshooting are included. This guide also provides specific guidelines forvarious application aspects including...
In an OFDM-based cooperative relay system, the arrival times and carrier frequency offsets (CFOs) of the signals from different relays are most likely different. Estimation of these timing offsets and CFOs is a crucial and challenging task. In this paper, a new preamble structure is designed, and an efficient time and frequency offset estimator is proposed for the OFDM-based cooperative system. The...
Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is a natural extension of network coding in wireless communication networks. PNC utilizes the addition characteristic of the electromagnetic wave rationally and improves the throughout in wireless networks significantly. This paper focuses on a key issue in PNC: the effect of pulse shaping on the performance of time synchronization errors. Analysis and simulation...
Many protection and control schemes highly depend on the quality of the underlying communications. Communications availability and reliability have a direct impact on security and dependability of the protection systems. Classical use cases include but are not limited to line differential protection, teleprotection schemes, etc. This paper analyzes how the quality of the underlying communications...
There are two primary troubles having effect on reliability in tradition traveling-wave distance protection schemes. One is reflection wave identification for single-ended traveling-wave protection (A-type), and another is time synchronization for two-ended traveling-wave protection (D type). This paper proposes a novel protection for transmission line unsymmetrical grounded faults, which only needs...
Practical realization of the coherent processing in widely separated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems requires the development of implementable techniques to ensure a common notion of phase among all the distributed radar elements. In this work, we present two effective approaches to achieve phase synchronization in coherent MIMO radar systems. The first one is the master-slave...
This paper presents Glossy, a novel flooding architecture for wireless sensor networks. Glossy exploits constructive interference of IEEE 802.15.4 symbols for fast network flooding and implicit time synchronization. We derive a timing requirement to make concurrent transmissions of the same packet interfere constructively, allowing a receiver to decode the packet even in the absence of capture effects...
This paper preliminarily examines the applicability of Internet protocol (IP)-related communication technologies such as IP and MPLS (multi-protocol label switching) routers and L2 (layer-two or Ethernet) switches to existing teleprotection systems. The teleprotection systems concerned include microprocessor-based current differential teleprotection with data communications of instantaneous current...
