Time synchronization is a key aspect of device-to-device (D2D) schemes, particularly in decentralized networks where no reference time is available. Distributed phase-locked loops (DPLL) is a synchronization algorithm well suited for decentralized situations. In this work, we study DPLL in the context of 5G networks, where we include in our analysis several practical aspects of D2D communication,...
The paper is focused on radionavigation systems. The subject of the paper is a design, implementation and experimental verification of an algorithm, which is able to determine time differences between the arrivals of signals from multiple transmitters. The algorithm is a fundamental element for the implementation of the system for position determination using Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA) method...
Exploiting correlations in the audio, several works in the past have demonstrated the ability to automatically match and synchronize User Generated Video (UGV) files of the same event. In this paper, we focus on the challenging acoustic environment of a large scale athletic event. We show that the chanting of the crowd produces an acoustic background common in the audio streams of different UGVs and...
In complex systems significant information about their inherent dynamics is hidden in the interactions between the system components and thus the analysis of the mutual information is essential for providing a better understanding of the principles underlying the system behavior. We focused on four different methods to assess the mutual information such as phase synchronization analysis; time delay...
The primary advantages of stochastic computing are the very simple hardware required to implement complex operations, its ability to gracefully tolerate noise, and the skew tolerance. Its relatively long latency, however, is a potential barrier to widespread use of this paradigm, particularly when high accuracy is required. This work proposes a new, high-speed, yet accurate approach for implementing...
The need for high data rate is growing since the multimedia applications are gaining popularity which needs high data rate and quality of service. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) transmission system is one of the most promising approach of the Smart Antenna Technology which uses multiple antennas in the transmitter and the receiver side and is currently followed for high-rate wireless communication[1]...
With the development of the technology, life is filled with increasing information equipment. When they work, a great deal of information will be radiated. For the leaked information, an interception system is built with USRP (Universal Software Radio Peripheral), and the line synchronization signal was extracted with a method called cepstrum. Compared with the method of autocorrelation, the new method...
Multi-replicA decoding using corRelation baSed LocALisAtion (MARSALA) is a recent random access technique designed for satellite return links. It follows the multiple transmission and interference cancellation scheme of Contention Resolution Diversity Slotted Aloha (CRDSA). In addition, at the receiver side, MARSALA uses autocorrelation to localise replicas of a same packet so as to coherently combine...
In this paper, we present a method for time and frequency synchronization in relay based cooperative communication system. The system consists of Source, Destination and two Relay nodes. A generic frame structure is devised to meet the space-time relaying mechanism when a particular node receives plurality of signals from multiple transmitters via different wireless links. We proposed timing synchronization...
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,...
Frame discrimination algorithms are discussed that address the problem of differentiating user frames transmitted asynchronously through optical fading channels. In communications systems where multiple users transmit asynchronously, fading channels can render the received frames unidentifiable at the receiver so that intended user destinations for the frames are then unknown. Algorithms that are...
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...
In cognitive radio technology, the overall capacity of communications systems can be improved without allocating additional bands by allowing secondary system to utilize the licensed band when a primary system who has right to use the band does not use it. In this paper, we consider how to set up a common channel for data communication in an ad-hoc networks consisting of a cluster head and member...
Analysis of the Electroencephalogram (EEG) can assist in developing a deeper understanding of neural development and maturation. Neurologists observed that neonatal EEG patterns change as a function of post conceptional age. Some waveforms such as delta brushes and traće alternant, the discontinuity of background activity, and the percentages of inter hemispheric synchrony are helpful features in...
The superframing option of the recent DVB-S2X standard specifies, for the so-called SF-Pilot fields, the use of the orthogonal set of Walsh-Hadamard (WH) sequences. In order to exploit this orthogonality, waveforms coming from different beams to the k-th User Terminal (UT) should be quasi perfectly aligned in time. While in the downlink part of a terrestrial system this is quite straightforward, in...
The 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has started to investigate feasibility of machine type communication terminal class in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks in the Release 12 to address the requirements of the Internet of Tings (IoT) targeting low-end device market with improved coverage. Along with that, the 3GPP has defined reference signals to support device discovery, communication...
A novel algorithm is proposed for blind estimation of the spreading sequence in direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) communication systems. This algorithm is based on the maximum likelihood decision rule. Due to high computational complexity, the maximum likelihood method is feasible only for spreading sequence with very short periods. The novel algorithm has two steps for estimation. At first,...
In this paper we study the problem of estimating the unknown delay(s) in a system where we receive a linear combination of several delayed copies of a known transmitted waveform. This problem arises in many applications such as timing-based localization or wireless synchronization. Since accurate delay estimation requires wideband signals, traditional systems need high-speed AD converters which poses...
Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is a sleep disorder highly prevalent in the general population. Cardiorespiratory Phase Synchronization (CRPS) is a form of non-linear interaction between respiratory and cardiovascular systems that was found to be reduced in severe OSA patients. The Hilbert Transform (HT) method was the recommended choice for estimating the respiratory phase in CRPS studies. But we have...
EEG functional connectivity maps, showing the interactions between brain areas in context to the placement of electrodes, were used for the investigation and comparison of three different types of epileptiform activity defined as single spike, spike followed by slow wave and repetitive spike. A nonlinear data-driven method was used to extract connectivity matrices that helped to identify network synchronization...
