Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used to localize victims, deliver first-aid, and maintain wireless connectivity to victims and first responders during search/rescue and public safety scenarios. In this letter, we consider the problem of navigating a UAV to a Rayleigh fading wireless signal source, e.g. the Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices such as smart watches and other wearables owned b...

This paper deals with an adaptive multi-user detector for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS/CDMA) wireless communication systems, named advanced blind adaptive multi-user detector (ABA-MUD), whose main features are low complexity and joint utilization of time diversity and adaptive blind processing techniques. Differently from known blind adaptive detectors, the proposed scheme ...

Sliding-window aggregation is a widely-used approach for extracting insights from the most recent portion of a data stream. Most aggregation operations of interest can be cast as binary operators that are associative, but not necessarily commutative nor invertible. However, non-invertible operators are nontrivial to support efficiently. The best existing algorithms for this setting require Oplo...

The existing constructions of space-time codes or modulation have mainly focused on two ideal situations: either quasi-static or rapid fading channels. In this paper, we consider the design of robust space-time modulation for time-correlated Rayleigh fading channels. We show that the space-time signals of square size achieving full diversity in quasi-static fading channels can also achieve the ...

this paper considers the multi-depot vehicle routing problem with time window in which each vehicle starts from a depot and there is no need to return to its primary depot after serving customers. the mathematical model which is developed by new approach aims to minimizing the transportation cost including the travelled distance, the latest and the earliest arrival time penalties. furthermore, ...

In this contribution, Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for signalto-noise ratio (SNR) estimation from linear modulation signals over flat Rayleigh fading channel is addressed. Therefore, we derive the analytical expressions of Fisher information matrix entries that assess the optimal variance of any unbiased SNR estimator. Based on statistical Monte Carlo computing method, simulation results are d...
