Relaying is a promising enhancement to current radio access networks. Relay enhanced LTE-Advanced networks are expected to fulfill the demanding coverage and capacity requirements in a cost-efficient way. However, due to low transmit power, the coverage areas of the relay nodes will be small. Therefore, the performance of relay deployments may be limited by load imbalances. In this study, we pr...

The article makes an analysis of the functioning for the heating automation system with hot air blown into an individual dwelling. The structure of the automatic control system for indoor temperature in the dwelling is determined, in which the controller is a thermostat having feature type relay with hysteresis, the conditions related to the evolution of automatic control of the process are spe...

The undesired operation of zone 3 may be one of the most conspicuous protective relay features due to the incorrect zone 3 relay operations which have been conducive to the severity of blackouts. Therefore, determining the accurate zone 3 setting of the distance relay is deemed to be necessary. This paper focuses on the development of a new technique for calculating zone-3 setting of distance r...

A Concurrent Relay-PID controller (CRPID) for motor position servo systems is proposed in this paper. The proposed controller is composed of a deadband-relay subcontroller and a parallel PID subcontroller. The deadband-relay subcontroller is capable of improving the transient system performance while the PID subcontroller is responsible for near steady state system regulation. Systematic design...

In this paper, a cooperative algorithm to improve the orthogonal space-timefrequency block codes (OSTFBC) in frequency selective channels for 2*1, 2*2, 4*1, 4*2 MIMO-OFDM systems, is presented. The algorithm of three node, a source node, a relay node and a destination node is formed, and is implemented in two stages. During the first stage, the destination and the relay antennas receive the sym...

In this paper, we present an adaptive relay assignment and power allocation algorithm in cognitive radio networks is proposed by using cooperative relay technologies which can improve the capacity of the cognitive system and extend coverage area. This algorithm converges faster than classic algorithms. The main target of the adaptive algorithm is to maximize each user’s capacity while guarantee...

Problem statement: WiMAX relay is an emerging cost effective wireless last mile solution for rural and urban broadband Internet access. Approach: One of the key concerns of WiMAX operators is how many users they can support for an access area where the number of users and the amount of data that can be delivered to the end user depends on the available system capacity. Results: This scenario is...

Relay selection has been regarded as an effective method to improve the performance of cooperative communication system. However, frequent operation of relay selection can bring enormous control message overhead and thereby decrease the performance of cooperative communication. To reduce the relay selection frequency, in this paper, we propose a relay selection scheme to choose the best relay w...

Relays are common in automatic control systems. It is well-known that a linear dynamical system under relay feedback can give complex oscillations. In this paper it is proved that several of these phenomena can actually be captured by third-order systems. It is shown that there exist systems giving arbitrarily fast relay switches similar to sliding modes. A novel method for analyzing linear dyn...
