More than two decades, circuit switched systems have been replaced by packet switched systems in telecommunication infrastructure. However, there are considerable amount of circuit switched equipment in telecommunication networks. Therefore, interconnection of existing circuit switched networks with packet switched networks is needed. For this reason, new methods are still being developed to transport...
This paper focuses on addressing the data fusion problems in asynchronous sensor networks using distribute particle filter (DPF). Generally, the type of the local information communicated between sensors and the time synchronization of the local information are two major issues for DPF algorithms, which have significant influence on fusion accuracy and communication requirements. To address these...
In this paper, we propose a new technique for synchronization and channel estimation in M-QAM OFDM radio over fiber (RoF) system by using constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) sequence based training preamble. Delay and correlate method is used to identify the training sequence in the received signal vector and to correct the symbol timing offset. For an optimum demodulation of OFDM signal,...
This paper presents a single-chip trinocular disparity estimation processor, capable of computing in real-time up to 2048×1080 resolution depth maps at 32fps with up to 256-pixel disparity range using two/three CMOS camera sensors. The most important feature of the presented design is that the chip is based on a trinocular adaptive window matching process that requires very limited on-chip memory,...
In this paper, a novel pilot-aided algorithm is proposed for the detection of integer frequency offset (IFO) in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. By transforming the IFO into two new integer parameters, the proposed method can largely reduce the number of trial values for the true IFO. The two new integer parameters are detected using two different pilot sequences, a periodic...
System-level timing inconsistency and wireless communication delays are the main uncertainties of existing synchronization mechanisms for wireless sensor networks. Existing solutions mainly rely on timestamp exchanges to estimate clock offset and skew, which results in frequent synchronization, high overhead, and high energy consumption to maintain a well-synchronized network. This paper introduces...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) require accurate and energy-efficient clock synchronization for data fusion and other tasks. Clock frequency synchronization, also known as clock syntonization, aims to eliminate the frequency differences among nodes resulted from inherent inaccuracy of clocks. A protocol for syntonization of wireless sensor nodes is introduced in this demo. It is demonstrated that...
Simultaneous collection of electroencephalogram (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a promising neuroimaging technique, which can provide high resolution in both spatial and temporal domain. Because EEG recorded in MRI scanners is heavily contaminated with gradient artefact (GA), removal of GA from EEG is a crucial step in EEG-fMRI data analysis. To date, the most efficient methods...
MUSIC algorithm is one of the most widely known and used signal source estimation techniques. A presented paper deal with an experiment of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of signal sources using two subarrays without coherency or with rough synchronization. The performance of DOA estimation improves with increasing the number of elements of antenna array. In this case, a practical measurement...
This paper describes an open source analogue to digital converter designed to meet the requirements of power system waveform measurement. In particular, attention is given to ensuring that waveforms are synchronously sampled to maintain the relationship between the various observed quantities, and the system is synchronized to the UTC time base by means of a GPS receiver, making a wide area comparison...
This paper presents an effective algorithm for estimating carrier frequency offset of APSK modulated signal. The data of the signal is obtained after the process of timing synchronization. The algorithm is based on the characteristic that the radiuses of the points of the constellation of APSK modulated signal are different. The value of the data is set to zero except the points with the smallest...
This paper aims to improve wireless network throughput by suppressing duplicate data transmissions from network links. It has been demonstrated that IP-layer Redundancy Elimination (RE) with content overhearing can significantly improve the goodput and utilization of wireless channels in wireless environment. However, the integration of IP-layer RE and wireless overhearing introduces a challenge....
In this paper, we address the problems of frequency and timing synchronization for OFDM/OQAM systems in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. A two step preamble based approach for carrier frequency offset (CFO) and timing offset (TO) estimation is proposed. The first step is joint coarse CFO and TO estimation and the second step is fine CFO (FCFO) estimation. We derive the Cramer-Rao lower...
Underwater wireless communication is greatly attractive to explore and develop because there is a vast unexploited area under the sea. Therefore, the effect of skew is not negligible when we use sound waves in water for wireless communication. For underwater sensor or cellular networks, some time synchronization protocols which consider the skew such as Time Synchronization for High Latency (TSHL)...
In this paper, we generalize the cooperative output regulation problem of multi-agent systems, and we consider the case where agents in the system only receive incomplete measurements from the exosystem. In other words, we consider the case where no agent receives sufficient information through its measurements to estimate the exosystem states. Under certain intuitive assumptions on the connectivity...

General CRLB expressions for carrier frequency offset, carrier phase, symbol timing and signal to noise ratio (SNR) estimation are analytically developed going through the computation of the...
One of the most promising ways of bringing localization services to GPS denied areas is the use of wireless sensor networks. For time difference of arrival (TDOA) systems, the achievable accuracy highly depends on the synchronization accuracy between the sensor nodes. In this paper we describe a new algorithm that achieves an ultra-precise wireless frequency synchronization using OFDM signals. Especially...
