Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) is a powerful technique for model reduction of non–linear systems. It is based on a Galerkin type discretization with basis elements created from the dynamical system itself. In the context of optimal control this approach may suffer from the fact that the basis elements are computed from a reference trajectory containing features which are quite different ...

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-enabled backscatter communications can be enabled by an access point (AP) that splits its transmit signal into modulated and unmodulated parts. This letter integrates non-orthogonal multiple (NOMA) with this method to create a two-user primary system secondary of IRS data. Considering the decoding order, we maximize rate strongest user jointly optimizing pha...
