Development of a dc-ac power conditioner for wind generator by using neural network
This project present of development single phase DC-AC converter for wind
generator application. The mathematical model of the wind generator and Artificial
Neural Network control for DC-AC converter is derived. The controller is designed to
stabilize the output voltage of DC-AC converter. To verify the effectiveness of the
proposal controller, both simulation and experimental are developed. The simulation and
experimental result show that the amplitude of output voltage of the DC-AC converter
can be controlled
Multidimensional Index Modulation for 5G and Beyond Wireless Networks
This study examines the flexible utilization of existing IM techniques in a
comprehensive manner to satisfy the challenging and diverse requirements of 5G
and beyond services. After spatial modulation (SM), which transmits information
bits through antenna indices, application of IM to orthogonal frequency
division multiplexing (OFDM) subcarriers has opened the door for the extension
of IM into different dimensions, such as radio frequency (RF) mirrors, time
slots, codes, and dispersion matrices. Recent studies have introduced the
concept of multidimensional IM by various combinations of one-dimensional IM
techniques to provide higher spectral efficiency (SE) and better bit error rate
(BER) performance at the expense of higher transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx)
complexity. Despite the ongoing research on the design of new IM techniques and
their implementation challenges, proper use of the available IM techniques to
address different requirements of 5G and beyond networks is an open research
area in the literature. For this reason, we first provide the dimensional-based
categorization of available IM domains and review the existing IM types
regarding this categorization. Then, we develop a framework that investigates
the efficient utilization of these techniques and establishes a link between
the IM schemes and 5G services, namely enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB),
massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and ultra-reliable low-latency
communication (URLLC). Additionally, this work defines key performance
indicators (KPIs) to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of IM techniques
in time, frequency, space, and code dimensions. Finally, future recommendations
are given regarding the design of flexible IM-based communication systems for
5G and beyond wireless networks.Comment: This work has been submitted to Proceedings of the IEEE for possible

Survey on wireless technology trade-offs for the industrial internet of things
Aside from vast deployment cost reduction, Industrial Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (IWSAN) introduce a new level of industrial connectivity. Wireless connection of sensors and actuators in industrial environments not only enables wireless monitoring and actuation, it also enables coordination of production stages, connecting mobile robots and autonomous transport vehicles, as well as localization and tracking of assets. All these opportunities already inspired the development of many wireless technologies in an effort to fully enable Industry 4.0. However, different technologies significantly differ in performance and capabilities, none being capable of supporting all industrial use cases. When designing a network solution, one must be aware of the capabilities and the trade-offs that prospective technologies have. This paper evaluates the technologies potentially suitable for IWSAN solutions covering an entire industrial site with limited infrastructure cost and discusses their trade-offs in an effort to provide information for choosing the most suitable technology for the use case of interest. The comparative discussion presented in this paper aims to enable engineers to choose the most suitable wireless technology for their specific IWSAN deployment
Survey of Inter-satellite Communication for Small Satellite Systems: Physical Layer to Network Layer View
Small satellite systems enable whole new class of missions for navigation,
communications, remote sensing and scientific research for both civilian and
military purposes. As individual spacecraft are limited by the size, mass and
power constraints, mass-produced small satellites in large constellations or
clusters could be useful in many science missions such as gravity mapping,
tracking of forest fires, finding water resources, etc. Constellation of
satellites provide improved spatial and temporal resolution of the target.
Small satellite constellations contribute innovative applications by replacing
a single asset with several very capable spacecraft which opens the door to new
applications. With increasing levels of autonomy, there will be a need for
remote communication networks to enable communication between spacecraft. These
space based networks will need to configure and maintain dynamic routes, manage
intermediate nodes, and reconfigure themselves to achieve mission objectives.
Hence, inter-satellite communication is a key aspect when satellites fly in
formation. In this paper, we present the various researches being conducted in
the small satellite community for implementing inter-satellite communications
based on the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model. This paper also reviews
the various design parameters applicable to the first three layers of the OSI
model, i.e., physical, data link and network layer. Based on the survey, we
also present a comprehensive list of design parameters useful for achieving
inter-satellite communications for multiple small satellite missions. Specific
topics include proposed solutions for some of the challenges faced by small
satellite systems, enabling operations using a network of small satellites, and
some examples of small satellite missions involving formation flying aspects.Comment: 51 pages, 21 Figures, 11 Tables, accepted in IEEE Communications
