The performance of the new system in Tamil Nadu is rather average and not very vibrant. Nevertheless, it has

Dynamic Multipath Estimation by Sequential Monte Carlo Methods

: A sequential Bayesian estimation algorithm for multipath mitigation is presented, with an underlying movement model that is especially designed for dynamic channel scenarios. In order to facilitate efficient integration into receiver tracking loops it builds upon complexity reduction concepts that previously have been applied within Maximum Likelihood (ML) estimators. To demonstrate its capabili

Modelling and Optimization Methods of Integrated Production Planning for Steel Plate Mill with Flexible Customization

With diversified requirements and varying manufacturing environments, the optimal production planning encountered in a steel mill has become more flexible and also complicated. The flexibility provides the operator with auxiliary options to satisfy customer requirements through an implementable integrated production planning. In this paper, a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model is fo
