This paper incorporates a comprehensive study about the distributed power control algorithm in cellular communication systems. The algorithm requires only interference power estimations and/or signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) estimations form the base station, and converge even in cases where limits on available power render the target SIR unattainable. Power control plays an important role t...

The use of power control (PC) and discontinuous transmission (DTx) can reduce the average power consumption of mobile base stations (BS). In this paper, the power consumption of a picocell or a femtocell are analyzed in a time division multiple access (TDMA) scenario. The minimization of the power consumption is viewed as a constrained optimization problem and a closed form of the compromise be...

In this paper, a neural Pseudoderivative control (PDF) is applied to a nonlinear mathematical model of the Dinorwig pumped storage hydroelectric power station. The response of the system with this auto-tuning controller is compared with that of a classic controller, currently implemented on the system. The results show how the application of PDF control to a hydroelectric pumped-storage station...

in this paper, downlink resource allocation for a sparse code multiple access (scma) based heterogeneous  cellular networks (hcn) is investigated. the main aim of this paper is to obtain joint power allocation and codebook assignment to achieve the least total system transmit power. in this regard, the proposed objective function is formulated as total transmit power subject to users minimum ra...

The demand for Electric Vehicles (EVs) has been exponentially increasing, and to achieve sustainable growth, the industry dictated rapid development of supporting infrastructure. This requires building a reliable EV charging ecosystem that serves customer demands while ensuring security Internet-enabled systems connected critical infrastructure against possible cyber attacks. To this end, we de...
