Composite grid method derived from the domain decomposition method, solves the formulation on two sets of meshes totally different in mesh-size, the coarse mesh and the fine one. In electromagnetic scattering problems, the fine grid region contains the thin wire structures cause the scattering field. Using the interface boundary condition, the coarse mesh region and fine one are calculated separately, and then the scattering field of the thin wire structure was obtained. The CGM based scheme can reduce the computing effort. We compare the result with the traditional finite element method which partitions the whole domain into fine mesh.

Such as IEEE 802.16m and 3GPP LTE, both of them are 4G candidates. We especially tackle the common carrier frequency offset (CFO) problem which brings the inter carrier interference (ICI) and multiple access interference (MAI). The main idea of this paper is the proposed QR dirty paper coding (QR-DPC) method, which is based on QR decomposition. Assisted with block diagonalization (BD) algorithm, we successfully utilize the precoding technique to eliminate the annoying MAI in a multiuser uplink system. Thus, the combination of BD and QR-DPC can significantly increase the BER performance as compared to conventional DPC. Moreover, we can further enhance the performance of QR-DPC by using the famous Water Pouring algorithm. Simulation results confirm that the proposed system can provide excellent performance under the ICI, MAI, and multipath interference environment.","PeriodicalId":250360,"journal":{"name":"CSQRWC 2012","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128756218","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}

After rain, a certain amount of water remains on windows; consequently, if a robot existed that could automatically wash windows directly after rain, window cleanliness would be maintained and unnecessary manual labor costs would be reduced. Our window washing device can detect whether it is raining. When rain starts, the raindrop sensor is triggered, and the system's screen displays that it is raining.
