While they have been routinely used to improve performance in current and previous generations of mobile communications systems, they are expected to play a more fundamental role in 5th Generation (5G) New Radio (NR) cellular systems, whose functionalities have been defined in the first phase of 3GPP 5G standardization process. Besides operating in traditional cellular sub-6 GHz frequency band, 5G NR has been natively designed also to work in the higher millimeter-wave (MMW) band. At lower frequencies, multiantenna techniques for 5G NR are mainly refinements of those originally designed for 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE). On the contrary, to cope with the peculiarities of MMW scenarios, such as the larger number of antenna elements, the more directional transmission, and the higher path loss values, new dynamic, user-specific, and computationally-efficient multiantenna solutions and procedures have been incorporated in 5G NR specifications. In particular, since multiantenna techniques for 5G NR generally need detailed channel state information (CSI), a complete redesign of the set of reference signals and procedures used for CSI acquisition and reporting was carried out. 5G NR is continuously evolving and new features will be added, while the existing ones will be enhanced in the second phase of 5G standardization, with emphasis on reduction of CSI overhead, robustness against spatial correlation among channels, unconventional transmission methods, and software-based reconfigurable antennas.","PeriodicalId":8487,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87312502","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}

The proposed framework employs a nonlinear model-based state observer, which combines a nonlinear finite element model of a building and global acceleration measurements to estimate the time history of seismic response at all degrees of freedom of the model. This includes displacements, element forces, and plastic deformations in all structural members. The estimated seismic response is then used to 1) estimate inter-story drifts and determine the post-earthquake re-occupancy classification of the building based on performance-based criteria, 2) compare the estimated demands with code-based capacity and reconstruct element-by-element demand-to-capacity ratios and 3) reconstruct element-level normalized energy dissipation and ductility. The outcome of this process is employed for the performance-based monitoring, damage detection, and localization in instrumented buildings. The proposed framework is validated using data from the Van Nuys hotel testbed; a seven-story reinforced concrete building instrumented by the California Strong Motion Instrumentation Program (Station 24386). The nonlinear state observer of the building is implemented using a distributed plasticity finite element model and seismic response measurements during the 1992 Big Bear and 1994 Northridge earthquakes. The performance and damage assessment results are compared with the post-earthquake damage inspection reports and photographic records. The results demonstrate the accuracy and capability of the proposed framework in the context of a real instrumented building that experienced significant localized structural damage.","PeriodicalId":8487,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90193647","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}

Here we propose a free-space optical flexible-binary-offset-carrier-modulated (FlexBOC-modulated) time transfer method. The utilized FlexBOC modulation could yield a comparative precision, although its occupied bandwidth is tremendously reduced by at least 97.5% compared to optical binary phase modulation. Meanwhile, the adoption of optical techniques eliminates the multi-path effect that is major limit in the current microwave satellite time transfer system. What's more, the time interval measurement avoids a continuous link that may be routinely broken by physical obstructions. For verification, a time transfer experiment with our home-built system between two sites separated by a 30-m free-space path outside the laboratory was conducted. Over a 15 h period, the time deviation is 2.3 ps in a 1-s averaging time, and averages down to 1.0 ps until ~60 s.

To remove noise from the speech signal transmission or to extract useful parts of the signal such as the components lying within a certain frequency range, filters are necessary. Filters are broadly used in signal processing and communication systems in applications such as channel equalization, noise reduction, radar, audio processing, speech signal processing, video processing, biomedical signal processing that is noisy ECG, EEG, EMG signal filtering, electrical circuit analysis and analysis of economic and financial data. In this paper, three types of infinite impulse response filter i.e. Butterworth, Chebyshev type I and Elliptical filter have been discussed theoretically and experimentally. Butterworth, Chebyshev type I and elliptic low pass, high pass, band pass and band stop filter have been designed in this paper using MATLAB Software. The impulse responses, magnitude responses, phase responses of Butterworth, Chebyshev type I and Elliptical filter for filtering the speech signal have been observed in this paper.

However, channel estimation (CE) is a big challenge in FBMC because it suffers from intrinsic interference which is due to the orthogonality of the subcarrier functions in the real field only. In this paper, we investigate a proposed modified interference approximation scheme (M-IAM) by approximating the intrinsic interference from the neighboring pilots to accommodate the complex channel frequency and thus improving CE performance besides simplifying its processing. The M-IAM scheme has larger pseudo pilot magnitude than other conventional preamble schemes, namely the interference approximation method (IAM) with its versions (IAM-C) and (E-IAM-C); in addition to the novel preamble design (NPS). In addition, the proposed (M-IAM) scheme is characterized by the lower transmitted power needed. The CE performance of the M-IAM is investigated through 512 and 2048 subcarriers via different types of outdoor and indoor multipath fading channels that are time-invariant such as IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.11, Rician, and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), as well as time varying channels such as Rayleigh and Vehicular A (Veh-A). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed M-IAM scheme achieves a lower bit error rate (BER), lower normalized mean square error (NMSE) and lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) over the conventional preamble schemes under the aforementioned channel models. The proposed scheme has the advantage of saving the transmitted power, a requirement that could match 5G low power requirements.","PeriodicalId":8487,"journal":{"name":"arXiv: Signal Processing","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83859129","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 bit error rate of an image, signal is transmitted over fading channel is analyzed using orthogonal frequency multiplexing and channel estimation technique. An Orthogonal Frequency Multiplexing (OFDM) provides prominent bandwidth effectiveness and improved immunity to the fading environments. In OFDM, the data is modulated using multiple numbers of subcarriers that are orthogonal to each other. A cyclic prefix is infixed between OFDM symbols to annihilate the inter symbol interference (ISI) and inter-carrier interference (ICI). The least square channel estimation method is used to minimize the effect of multipath fading.

Juni 2019 ca. 110 Fachexpertinnen und Fachexperten aus dem Bereich der Leit- und Sicherungstechnik im Gastehaus der TU Darmstadt begrusen, um uber die Zukunft der Sicherungstechnik unter den Vorzeichen von Digitalisierung und Industrie 4.0 zu sprechen und den Horizont mit spannenden Einblicken aus Forschung und Praxis zu bereichern. \u0000Das Motto des diesjahrigen Scientific Railway Signalling Symposiums lautete „Mehr Verkehr auf die Schiene durch Digitalisierung?! – Was kann die Leit- und Sicherungstechnik dazu beitragen?“. In diesem Sinne diskutierten die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer in sieben Arbeitsgruppen, welchen Beitrag aktuelle und zukunftige Ansatze der digitalen Bahn zur Kapazitatsgewinnung bringen konnen und welche Knackpunkte es auf dem Weg dorthin noch zu losen gilt. Daran anschliesend brachte Herr Messerli von der SBB die Anwesenden auf den neusten Stand der Entwicklungen in der Schweiz. Dort geht das Branchenprogramm „smartRail 4.0“ nun in den Endspurt der Konzeptphase. Ein bereits konkret untersuchtes Anwendungsszenario fur Kapazitatssteigerungen durch Masnahmen im Bereich der LST bietet die S-Bahn Stuttgart. Dort wurden verschiedene zukunftige LST-Ausrustungsszenarien in Hinblick auf ihr Potential zur Verringerung von Verspatungsminuten untersucht und die Ergebnisse auf dem SRSS vorgestellt. Die Untersuchung ergab signifikante Unterschiede zwischen den untersuchten Varianten. Die bevorzugte Variante „ETCSe mit ATO-Light“ unterstreicht zudem, dass der groste Nutzen nur durch die Kombination mehrerer technischer Innovationen umgesetzt werden kann. Weitere thematische Inputs lieferten Einblicke in die Themen IT-Security und „ATO GoA2 over ETCS-L2-FS“. \u0000Zusatzlich zu diesen Beitragen aus der Industrie versteht sich das SRSS auch als Plattform fur wissenschaftliche Vortrage, die einen Einblick in die gegenwartige Forschung im Bereich der LST bieten. So bereicherten drei wissenschaftliche Beitrage zu den Themen „Ortung“, „automatisierte Planung von ETCS-Infrastruktur“ sowie „Sicherungslogik im Stellwerkskern“ das SRSS. Diese Beitrage bestehen neben dem Vortrag aus einem Aufsatz, der zuvor einen wissenschaftlichen Review-Prozess durchlief.
