When a planar structure is observed from multiple views, the projections of its corresponding 3D points on each image are related by a homography. Its estimation is a key step in many computer vision tasks where either the rigid motion between views or a per-pixel image correspondence is sought. The vast majority of multi-view homography estimation techniques relies on matching a sparse set of point-to-point...
New waveform candidates are being investigated for the fifth generation wireless systems. Among the promising candidates, generalized frequency division multiplexing (GFDM) offers the flexibility to address a wide range of requirements (e.g. low latency, coarse synchronization, etc.). Due to the non- orthogonality of GFDM, the transmit signal subjects to inter-symbol and inter-carrier interference...
Provisioning of cost-effective Ethernet-based fronthaul by reusing the LAN infrastructure available in most commercial buildings is challenging predominantly in terms of the required bandwidth and synchronization. In contrast to a synchronous fronthaul, a PTP-based Ethernet network must cope with estimation noise introduced by packet delay variation (PDV) for synchronization recovery. The SYNC packet...
Given the rapid change in processor architecture in the past years, there is a driving necessity to assess processor performance for a high performance computation workload. Assessing performance for a given workload is important to understand the correlation between architecture parameters and the workload performance. A given workload can be categorized as memory bound, compute bound, or in between...
In this paper, we propose a simple calibration method for an ad hoc microphone array that utilizes sound emissions. Assuming that each device has a function to record sound while emitting another sound, the location, the recording time offset, and the sampling frequency mismatch of each device are estimated from the time of arrival (TOA) of the sound emitted by each device. The accurate estimation...
We propose a distributed coordination mechanism which enables nodes in a directed graph to accurately estimate their eigenvector centrality (eigencentrality) even if they update their values at times determined by their own clocks. The clocks need neither be synchronized nor have the same speed. The main idea is to let nodes adjust the weights on outgoing links to compensate for their update speed:...
This paper deals with the baseband digital demodulation of bursty BPSK signals in the presence of frequency, phase and time offset in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) impaired narrowband satellite TDMA channel. The receiver perform the tasks of acquiring synchronization in time, frequency and phase, matched filtering, BPSK demodulation and soft decision Viterbi decoding on the received baseband...
The problem of carrier frequency and phase synchronization exists in most wireless digital communication systems. These offsets are generally results from the Doppler effect, oscillator instabilities, and unknown transmission delays between receiver and transmitter. In this paper, we propose a joint synchronization algorithm applicable for short-burst PSK modulation systems. In the coarse estimation,...
Accuracy and precision of positioning in UWB localization system depends on the quality of clock oscillators. Usually clock frequencies in particular nodes have different offsets what influences system performance. The paper presents a method for nodes synchronization and distribution of reference time interval. Anchor nodes measure time of arrival of packets conveying reference time information....
In this paper, we present the simulation results of FFO(fractional frequency offset) influences on PLC preamble correlation based PLC synchronization in DOCSIS 3.1 Downstream. FFO makes inter-carrier interferences and breaks orthogonality in OFDM based transmission system. It degrades the performance of OFDM by reducing SNR(signal to noise ratio). The performance of PLC synchronization is influenced...
This paper deals with the phase control for Neurospora circadian rhythm. The nonlinear control, given by tuning the parameters (considered as controlled variables) in Neurospora dynamical model, allows the circadian rhythms tracking a reference one. When there are many parameters (e.g. 3 parameters in this paper) and their values are unknown, the adaptive control law reveals its weakness since the...
In this paper, a low-complexity algorithm for cell ID group and subframe number estimation, which requires the highest computational complexity in the SSS detection procedure, is proposed for low-power MTC devices. Through simulation under LTE-based MTC environment, we show that the proposed method for SSS detection requires five times less computation complexity than the conventional method, while...
Although the Filter bank multicarrier with offset quadrature amplitude modulation (FBMC-OQAM) systems are robust against double selective fading channels, it unfortunately is still sensitive to timing offset and carrier frequency offset (CFO) errors. To solve this synchronization problem, in this paper, we propose a new data-aided timing and CFO synchronization scheme, that exploits the conjugate-symmetry...

The problems that arise in OFDM system is the time-shift and frequency mismatch between the oscillators in the transmitter and the receiver. It is known as a Carrier Frequency Offset (CFO) problem. By exploring...

First, use Kalman filtering algorithm and Bootstrap method to local filtering process the measurement data under the condition of Monte Carlo simulation experiment, and the reliability of the data is improved...
A low rate of signal element transmissions in a communication system and a low SNR at the receiving side results in a normalized large frequency offset. To address this problem, the paper compares the performance from the aspect of the computational complexity, stability, noise immunity, and estimation accuracy. The performance is evaluated under different carrier frequency synchronization algorithms...

A conventional timing estimation based on autocorrelation suffering performance reduction caused by interference and multipath channel distortion. The proposed method is developed based on normalized 4-th order moment for symmetric correlator. Based on these 4-th order moment, a binary...

A sensor data fusion of azimuth angle of arrival (AOA) and estimated distance measurements with speed and heading information using an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) is carried out to track the vehicle location. Furthermore, a concept for cooperative localization (CL) is introduced based on device-to-device...
Underwater acoustic localization is important for supporting underwater sensor networks. However, the hostile underwater environment makes it a very challenging mission. In this paper, we take uncertainties in sound propagation speed and time synchronization into account and propose a localization method. All anchors with known positions are synchronized, while all agents that need to perform localization...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are very sensitive to carrier phase offset. In this paper, challenges regarding the provision of phase offset in orthogonal space time block codes (STBC) coded MIMO systems over Rayleigh fading channels are addressed. We develop a novel robust phase offsets estimation algorithm for MIMO systems based on STBC codes. Simulation results prove that the proposed...
