On Schwarz canonical form for large system simplification
(IEEE, 1975-04-01)Recently a new technique for the reduction of a large-order dynamical system, using Schwarz canonical form, has been proposed [1]. It is presently shown that the above is essentially a frequency domain technique for which ... -
On sequence design for relay networks with multipath
(IEEE, 2013)A method for a spreading sequence design based on signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is presented in this paper. It considers the relay channel where sources communicate with the receiver via relays under ... -
On the application of accessible wayfinding systems for tourism
(IEEE, 2022-09-23)Tourism is characterized by people searching for valuable information in unfamiliar surroundings. Recent advances in indoor and outdoor wayfinding systems that complement satellite-based systems provide many opportunities ... -
On the capacity of a wireless backhaul for the distribution level of the smart grid
(IEEE, 2014-06)Many application scenarios envisioned as part of the "smarter" grid depend on an effective underlying communication infrastructure for power distribution. The advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is one such application ... -
On the dependence of burst losses on the packet inter-arrival times in VoIP
(IEEE, 2009-12-06)In this paper, the dependency of length of burst losses on the packet inter-arrival time in Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is analyzed and modeled using the semi-Markov process. The model helps in predicting future ... -
On the design of a graduate-level cross-disciplinary course on smart grids
(IEEE, 2012-07)Development and maintenance of smart grids require power systems engineers to have a good understanding of auxiliary fields like computer networks and vice-versa. This paper discusses a graduate level course and its offered ... -
