This paper presents a hardware design of high throughput, low latency preamble detector for 3GPP LTE physical random access channel (PRACH) receiver. The presented PRACH receiver uses the pipelined structure to improve the throughput of power delay profile (PDP) generation which is executed multiple times during the preamble detection. In addition, to reduce detection latency, we propose an ins...

presence of distributed generation (dg) in electric distribution systems provides an attractive new alternative in capacity expansion planning of these systems. in this paper a new model is developed for solving simultaneous placement of hv/mv substations and dg units as a static planning tool. this model aims to minimize fixed and variable costs of planning. constraints related to dgs, substat...

This project evaluate the performance of improved power delay profile estimation in Multiple input multiple output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MIMO-OFDM) systems under linear minimum mean square error(LMMSE) channel. The distortions caused by null subcarriers and a short range of samples for PDP estimation is also considered. The proposed technique effectively estimates the dist...

This paper extends the power hierarchy of dependability models developed by Malhotra and Trivedi (1994) and Muppala et al. (2000) to include Piecewise Deterministic Markov Processes (PDP) and PDP-related Petri Nets. PDPs are known as the largest class of continuous-time hybrid state Markov processes not involving diffusions. Since Petri Nets have proven to be extremely useful in developing Mark...

We present a statistical model for the delay profile of ultra-wideband channels in indoor environments. Two kinds of profiles are defined, namely the multipath intensity profile (MIP) and the power delay profile (PDP). The MIP is he delay profile at a point in space, while the PDP is a local spatial average. The model is based on 60,000 complex frequency response measurements from 20 commercial...

This paper introduces a new design of penternary inverter gate based on graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor (GNRFET). The penternary logic is one of Multiple-valued logic (MVL) circuits which are the best substitute for binary logic because of its low power-delay product (PDP) resulting from reduced complexity of interconnects and chip area. GNRFET is preferred over Si-MOSFET for circui...

General packet radio service (GPRS) provides efficient access to the integrated services Internet from wireless networks. When the GPRS-attached mobile station attempts to send or receive data, a packet data protocol (PDP) context shall be established. The GPRS session management (SM) supports the PDP context handling, which consists of PDP context activation, deactivation, and modification pro...

This paper describes a pilot study centred on the technology-enhanced self-development of competences in lifelong learning education carried out in the challenging context of the Association of Participants Àgora. The pilot study shows that the use of the TENCompetence infrastructure, i.e. in this case the Personal Development Planner tool, provides various kinds of benefits for adult participa...
