A re-configuring sliding-mode controller with a ustable robustness
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004)
In this paper a controller design method for underwater vehicles is presented which is based on re-configuration of a sliding-mode controller in case of disturbances caused by shallow water conditions. The disturbance ...
Optimal input design for the detection of changes towards unknown hypotheses
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2004)
The effects of auxiliary input signals on detecting changes in ARMAX processes via statistical tests are discussed. Two extensions to the Cumulative Sum Test are considered. The first is applicable when the direction of ...
Cosmic ray intensity variation during a CME
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2002)
The June 6 2000 coronal mass ejection was an exceptional full halo which made it possible to measure cosmic ray (CR) decrease with a simple experimental set-up. Variation in the local secondary cosmic ray density has been ...
A Robust Localization Framework to Handle Noisy Measurements in Wireless Sensor Networks
(IEEE, 2009)
We construct a robust localization framework to handle noisy measurements in wireless sensor networks. Traditionally many approaches employ the distance information gathered from ranging devices of the sensor nodes to ...
Scaling Laws For Distributed Estimation Over Orthogonal Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2009)
We analyze the outage for distributed estimation over orthogonal fading channels as a function of the number of sensors K. We consider a scenario of fixed power per-sensor with an asymptotically large number of sensors. ...
Navigation of autonomous mobile robots in connected groups
(IEEE, 2008)
The navigation of autonomous mobile robots as a group is considered in this paper. Definitions adopted from the graph theory are given to characterize the robot group. A local steering strategy is proposed such that when ...
Outage Diversity for Distributed Estimation over Parallel Fading Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this paper we study the outage diversity in distributed estimation over parallel fading channels. We find tight upper and lower bounds on the diversity order and show that they are arbitrarily close under certain ...
Distributed estimation over parallel fading channels with channel estimation error
(IEEE, 2008)
We consider distributed estimation of a source observed by sensors in additive Gaussian noise where the sensors are connected to a fusion center with unknown orthogonal (parallel) flat Rayleigh fading channels. We adopt a ...
Effect of the Channel Estimation Error on the Performance of the Source Estimator in a Wireless Sensor Network with Orthogonal Channels
(IEEE, 2008)
In this work effect of the channel estimation error on the MSE performance of the source estimator in a wireless sensor network with orthogonal flat fading channels is studied. A two-phase approach was employed where in ...
Joint Data Detection and Channel Estimation for OFDM Systems in the Presence of Very High Mobility
(IEEE, 2009)
This paper is concerned with the challenging and timely problem of joint channel estimation and data detection for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in the presence of frequency selective and very ...
