Signalprediktering i vitt gaussiskt brus med hjälp av ett adaptivt signalanpassat filter
- 1976
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Ett signalanpassat filter har ett impulssvar som är den exiterandesignalens spegelbild . Ett dylikt filter maximerar vid en viss tidpunkt signalbrusförhållandet på utgången.Ett adaptivt transversalfilter styrt av en gradientkännande algoritm, vilken maximerar signalbrusförhållandet på filterutgången, har studerats. Det spegelvända impulssvaret har använts som prediktion av signalen. Denna prediktion har, vid simulering gjord på dator, ej visat sig vara bättre än en klassisk prediktion med en ren summering av brusstörda upplagor av signalen. Inte ens då dylika summerade upplagor av den brusstörda signalenanvänts som insignal till filtret har signalprediktionen via filtrets impulssvar uppvisat ett lägre kvadratiskt medelfel än d en klassiska.

Fine-Grained Reliability for V2V Communications around Suburban and Urban Intersections
- 2017
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Safe transportation is a key use-case of the 5G/LTE Rel.15+ communications, where an end-to-end reliability of 0.99999 is expected for a vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) transmission distance of 100-200 m. Since communications reliability is related to road-safety, it is crucial to verify the fulfillment of the performance, especially for accident-prone areas such as intersections. We derive closed-form expressions for the V2V transmission reliability near suburban corners and urban intersections over finite interference regions. The analysis is based on plausible street configurations, traffic scenarios, and empirically-supported channel propagation. We show the means by which the performance metric can serve as a preliminary design tool to meet a target reliability. We then apply meta distribution concepts to provide a careful dissection of V2V communications reliability. Contrary to existing work on infinite roads, when we consider finite road segments for practical deployment, fine-grained reliability per realization exhibits bimodal behavior. Either performance for a certain vehicular traffic scenario is very reliable or extremely unreliable, but nowhere in relatively proximity to the average performance. In other words, standard SINR-based average performance metrics are analytically accurate but can be insufficient from a practical viewpoint. Investigating other safety-critical point process networks at the meta distribution-level may reveal similar discrepancies.

Encryption in Telefax
- 1978
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Our standpoint is that the basic need for information security in TELETEX is provided by the data network used together with the possibility to encrypt the messages in the terminals, thereby protecting the messages from information loss. Means for detection of information destruction or change and f or verification at unencrypted data may then be provided for by the user of the TELETEX system.

Reinforcement Learning Based Self-Optimization of Dynamic Fault-Tolerant Schemes in Performance-Aware RecoBlock SoCs
- 2015
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Partial and run-time reconfiguration (RTR) technology has increased the range of opportunities and applications in the design of systems-on-chip (SoCs) based on Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Nevertheless, RTR adds another complexity to the design process, particularly when embedded FPGAs have to deal with power and performance constraints uncertain environments. Embedded systems will need to make autonomous decisions, develop cognitive properties such as self-awareness and finally become self-adaptive to be deployed in the real world. Classico-line modeling and programming methods are inadequate to cope with unpredictable environments. Reinforcement learning (RL) methods have been successfully explored to solve these complex optimization problems mainly in workstation computers, yet they are rarely implemented in embedded systems. Disruptive integration technologies reaching atomic-scales will increase the probability of fabrication errors and the sensitivity to electromagnetic radiation that can generate single-event upsets (SEUs) in the configuration memory of FPGAs. Dynamic FT schemes are promising RTR hardware redundancy structures that improve dependability, but on the other hand, they increase memory system traffic. This article presents an FPGA-based SoC that is self-aware of its monitored hardware and utilizes an online RL method to self-optimize the decisions that maintain the desired system performance, particularly when triggering hardware acceleration and dynamic FT schemes on RTR IP-cores. Moreover, this article describes the main features of the RecoBlock SoC concept, overviews the RL theory, shows the Q-learning algorithm adapted for the dynamic fault-tolerance optimization problem, and presents its simulation in Matlab. Based on this investigation, the Q-learning algorithm will be implemented and verified in the RecoBlock SoC platform.

Optimal Resource Allocation in Coordinated Multi-Cell Systems : Matlab Code
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This is the documentation of the Matlab code supplement to the monograph "Optimal Resource Allocation in Coordinated Multi-Cell Systems" by Emil Björnson and Eduard Jorswieck; see [1] for the full publication details.This documentation is distributed along with the code package mentioned above. The package contains Matlab implementations of many of the algorithms described in [1]. The use of these algorithms is exemplified by Matlab scripts (m-files) that generate some of the figures shown in the monograph. The algorithms are briefly described in Section 5 and the selected example figures are described and shown in Section 6. Please note that the all channel vectors are generated randomly as Rayleigh fading in these examples, thus this code package is not able to reproduce exactly the same curves as was shown in the monograph.

EU FP7 INFSO-ICT-317669 METIS, D3.1 Positioning of multi-node/multi-antenna technologies
- 2013
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This document describes the research activity in multi-node/multi-antenna technologies within METIS and positions it with respect to the state-of-the-art in the academic literature and in the standardization bodies. Based on the state-of-the-art and as well as on the METIS objectives,we set the research objectives and we group the different activities (or technology components) into research clusters with similar research objectives. The technologycomponents and the research objectives have been set to achieve an ambidextrous purpose. On one side we aim at providing the METIS system with those technological components that are a natural but non-trivial evolution of 4G. On the other side, we aim at seeking for disruptivetechnologies that could radically change 5G with respect to 4G. Moreover, we mapped the different technology components to METIS’ other activities and to the overall goals of theproject.

Successive Encoding of Correlated Sources
- 1982
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The encoding of a discrete memoryless multiple source for reconstruction of a sequence with is considered. We require that the encoding should be such that is encoded first without any consideration of , while in a seeond part of the encoding this latter sequence is encoded based on knowledge of the outcome of the first encoding. The resulting scheme is called successive encoding. We find general outer and inner bounds for the corresponding set of achievable rates along with a complete single letter characterization for the special case . Comparisons with the Slepian-Wolf problem [3] and the Ahlswede-Körner-Wyner side information problem [2 ], [9) are carried out.

Ethics of digital contact tracing apps for the Covid-19 pandemic response
- 2020
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- There is a growing interest in contact tracing apps (CT apps) for pandemic man- agement. These apps raise significant moral concerns. It is therefore crucial to consider ethical requirements before and while implementing such apps. Public trust is of major importance for population uptake of contact tracing apps. Hasty, ill-prepared or badly communicated implementations of CT apps will likely under- mine public trust, and as such, risk impeding general effectiveness. In response to these demands, to meet ethical requirements and find a basis for justified trust, this background introduces an ethical framework for a responsible design and implementation of CT apps. However, even prudently chosen measures of digital contact tracing carry moral costs, which makes it necessary address different trade-offs. This background paper aims to inform developers, researchers and decision-makers be- fore and throughout the process of implementing contact tracing apps.
