Cyclic delay diversity (CDD) is a simple technique to intentionally increase frequency selectivity of channels for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM).This paper proposes a residual carrier frequency offset (RFO) estimation scheme for OFDMbased broadcasting system using CDD. In order to improve the RFO estimation, this paper addresses a decision scheme of the amount of cyclic dela...

Abstract—In this paper, we study delay and rate-constrained transmission of bursty traffic over wireless channels. We characterize the minimum power requirements via bounds for both single user and multiuser downlink problems, using a class of randomized first-come first-serve policies. We show that larger tolerable delay leads to power reduction, even for single-user Gaussian channels; a sourc...

This paper explores various available comparator designs and proposes an improved ultra low power comparator with reduced delay at 90nm. Dynamic comparators which are extensively used in data converters and digital signal processors require low power consumption and high speed. A clock based dynamic comparator is simulated with delay of 64ps and power dissipation of 31.8μW. The comparator struc...

This paper addresses the design of predictive networked controller with adaptation of a communication delay. The networked control system contains random delays from sensor to controller and from controller to actuator. The proposed predictive controller includes an adaptation loop which decreases the influence of communication delay on the control performance. Also, the predictive controller c...

In this paper we give a brief overview of the application of delay differential equations with piecewise constant arguments (EPCAs) for obtaining numerical approximation of delay differential equations, and we show that this method can be used for numerical approximation in a class of age-dependent population models. We also formulate an open problem for a qualitative behaviour of a class of li...

In this paper, we consider the control of time delay system by Proportional-Integral (PI) controller. By Using the HermiteBiehler theorem, which is applicable to quasi-polynomials, we seek a stability region of the controller for first order delay systems. The essence of this work resides in the extension of this approach to second order delay system, in the determination of its stability regio...

--High-performance digital circuits with aggressive timing constraints are usually very susceptible to delay faults. Much research done on delay fault detection needs a rather complicated test setup together with precise test clock requirements. In this paper, we propose a test technique based on the digital oscillation test method. The technique, which was simulated in software, consists of se...

In this paper, we consider a discrete Gompertz model with time delay. Firstly, the stability of the equilibrium of the system is investigated by analyzing the characteristic equation. By choosing the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, we prove that NeimarkSacker bifurcations occur when the delay passes a sequence of critical values. The direction and stability of the Neimark-Sacker are dete...

As the number of systems which offer annotations on digital documents increases, robust anchoring of annotations is a key challenge. It is especially important if the annotator lacks write-access to the document being annotated. For example, if someone makes an annotation on a web page today and the web page changes tomorrow, what happens to the annotation? One approach is simply to “orphan” th...
