The mmWave access points (APs) are the agents of the bandit game, while the arms are the existing beam directions. Towards that, MA-KLUCB and MA-EXP3 are proposed and tested via applying them within each AP in a selfish concurrent beamforming scenario. It turns out that the proposed algorithms provide near-optimal performances as compared to the exhaustive search of all concurrent beams’ combinations. Also, they demonstrate reasonable fast convergence rates too.","PeriodicalId":146890,"journal":{"name":"2020 8th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"2800 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127443118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three configurations of the proposed antenna are studied based on the lower side below the folded dipole. These configurations include a complete ground plane, partial ground plane, and partial ground plane loaded with a printed EBG structure. Through this design, the return loss of −10 dB at all frequencies in the range of the antenna is achieved, and realized antenna gain equals 2.11 dB.

Low-cost inertial sensors are distinguished by high noise and significant performance uncertainties. Consequently, errors related to low-cost INS states (position, velocity, and attitudes) are rising rapidly in stand-alone mode. If accurate performance can be achieved with low-cost IMU, the cost of real applications can be reduced and the development of new applications may be made feasible. Errors in gyroscopes (gyro) which are the main building block of IMU play a significant role, while the errors in the accelerometers can be calibrated and compensated with reasonable precision by comparison with the gravity of the earth. So precise modeling of gyro for navigation simulation for missiles and unmanned vehicles is essential. To achieve this goal, firstly an error estimation algorithm is implemented. This algorithm firstly is tested with a simulated signal with a known noise parameter injected in it. Moreover, the calibration of deterministic errors is performed. Furthermore, a study of the autocorrelation function of the sensor outputs is presented, and a method for calculating the frequency response to determine potential stability problems is provided by calculating the cutoff frequency. The typical analysis methods discussed throughout the paper are intended to assist designers to develop or choose gyro that is uniquely adapted to the design application requirements. The development technique is used to characterize a tactical grade Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMSIC) IMU, and the test results prove its accuracy comparing to the manufacturing calibration sheet.","PeriodicalId":146890,"journal":{"name":"2020 8th International Japan-Africa Conference on Electronics, Communications, and Computations (JAC-ECC)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115119023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents an efficient proposed approach to enhance the quality and contrast of the VS images. The proposed approach is based on Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE) with adaptive gamma correction by choosing the best clip limits in the CLAHE and the optimum parameter of an adaptive gamma correction transfer function. This proposal achieves an enhancement for the imperfections in the VS images based on both quantitative and qualitative metrics.
