— In this paper, a new method is proposed to evaluate the reliability of stochastic mechanical systems. This technique is based on the combination of the probabilistic transforma...
A Datalog program can be translated into a system of fixpoint equations of relational algebra; this paper studies how such a system can be solved and optimized for a particular qu...
- An initial timing offset estimation method for orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is proposed. Conventional preamble-based synchronization methods result i...
— The topology of a networked control system has critical consequences for its performance. We provide first substantial examples on the effects of topology. Then we proceed to ...
Packetized data transmission is commonly used in wireless communication systems. Each packet starts with a preamble which is used to synchronize the receiver with carrier frequenc...
