Joint Source-Relay Optimization for Fixed Receivers in Multi-Antenna Multi-Relay Networks (2013)
Journal Article
Ikhlef, A., & Schober, R. (2014). Joint Source-Relay Optimization for Fixed Receivers in Multi-Antenna Multi-Relay Networks. IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, 13(1), 62-74. https://doi.org/10.1109/twc.2013.111013.121386

We jointly optimize the source and relay precoders for multi-antenna multi-relay networks employing a prefixed receiver. Prefixed receivers are of practical interest since they enable low complexity at the end-user's receiver as well as backward comp...

Creating a Self-configuring Finite State Machine out of Memory Look-up Tables (2013)
Journal Article
Schiefer, P., McWilliam, R., & Purvis, A. (2013). Creating a Self-configuring Finite State Machine out of Memory Look-up Tables. Procedia CIRP, 11, 363-366. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procir.2013.07.030

A finite state machine (FSM) is one of the most used digital logic applications in today's electrical systems. An FSM can be implemented in electrical systems based on programmable logic devices (PLD) or combinatorial logic platforms. Both platforms...

Systems fail. Period. No matter how much planning and fault analysis is performed, it is impossible to create a perfectly reliable machine. The existing approach to improving reliability invariably involves advances in fault prediction and detection... Read More about Concepts of self-repairing systems.

Accuracy Guarantees for Phylogeny Reconstruction Algorithms Based on Balanced Minimum Evolution (2013)
Journal Article
