In practical, V2X requires tight time synchronization for TDMA Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol and safety applications. Mostly, V2X devices are equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, which guarantees tight time synchronization for connected vehicles. However, vehicles might be subject to some GPS outages, especially inside tunnels. To address this issue, we introduce this paper. It proposes an efficient time synchronization technique called Self-time Synchronization Protocol for V2X (SSPV). It fixes the clock drift resulted from the GPS connectivity loss using a history of experienced time offsets. This paper shows that SSPV achieves significantly less synchronization error compared to the case of not applying any correction method. Simulation results show that our approach only incurs a maximum time offset of 80 microseconds for a time period of 30 minutes.","PeriodicalId":271345,"journal":{"name":"2020 International Conference on Electronics, Information, and Communication (ICEIC)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123265413","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}

In this paper, we propose an accelerator design for LeNet-5 CNN architecture [1] for MNIST handwritten digit recognition.

Average lift force over one flapping cycle is used to design the prototype butterfly robot wing structure and motion. Wing structure is designed based on the real butterfly wing dimension.

Once the individual PWM converters are properly engineered based on the standard procedures, the intermediate filters are then designed and fabricated to provide the desired converter performance, dc link dynamics, system stability, and system dynamics. Thus, the task of designing a dc power distribution systems is reduced to the design problem of intermediate line filters.

Output characteristics of the MFCs showed differences among all kind of beverages. These results showed that the activity of the microbes in the MFCs was varied due to differences in organic components of each beverage. However, MFCs successfully generated electric energy with all types of beverages used in the study. Moreover, there was a significant improvement in output performance compared with the control group which is inoculated with an initial substrate (vermicompost). MFCs inoculated with coffee and energy-drink generated a maximum power of above $50 mumathbf{W}$ which was 100 times higher than that of control MFC.
