A new AFC algorithm is presented in this paper for correcting the sizable carrier frequency offset of a fully-digital MDPSK DSXDMA receiver, which explores the power degradation at the correlator output and has an acquisition range of twice the symbol rate. To achieve fast frequency acquisition, the momentum steepest descent method and modified S-curve are employed in the algorithm. The simplic...

The new control paradigm Internet of Things (IoT) in intralogistics propagates highly modular and flexible decentralized control systems based on agent technology and radio-frequency identification (RFID). The productive application of such systems demands the fulfillment of several requirements, which exist in the industrial reality of the facility logistics. The real-time requirements in dece...

in this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (phev) and diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. the proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. the proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...

Temporal patterns for advertising include constant spending over time, decreasing spending over time and increasing spending over time. This research shows that all these spending patterns emerge at optimality for the same response function dynamics, due to differences in salvage value assumptions. I use these results to develop a methodology for determining the optimal planning horizon length ...

Using a Proof of Concept approach, this paper examines RFID’s impact on inventory control of a small-to-medium retailer. Results indicate that RFID technology can function effectively in a small-to-medium hardware environment. Also, the majority of the simulations recorded reasonable read rates even though the simulations were set up over a short period of time without a great deal of fine-tuni...

The Accelerated Failure Time model presents a way to easily describe survival regression data. It is assumed, that each observed unit ages internally faster or slower, depending on the covariate values. To use the model properly, we want to check if observed data fit the model assumptions. In present work we introduce a goodness-of-fit statistics based on modern martingale theory. On simulated ...
