© 2019 IEEE.Line codes make it possible to mitigate interference, to prevent short pulses, and to generate streams of bipolar signals with no direct-current (DC) power content through balancing. They find application in magnetic recording (MR) devices, in Flash devices, and in optical recording devices. This paper introduces a new family of fixed-length, binary constrained codes, named lexicographically-ordered constrained codes (LOCO codes), for bipolar non-return-to-zero signaling. LOCO codes are capacity achieving, the lexicographic indexing enables simple, practical encoding and decoding, and this simplicity is demonstrated through analysis of circuit complexity. Experimental results demonstrate a gain of up to 10% in rate achieved by LOCO codes with respect to practical run-length-limited codes designed for the same purpose. Simulation results suggest that it is possible to achieve channel density gains of about 20% in MR systems by using a LOCO code to encode only the parity bits of a low-density parity-check code before writing.

A Framework for Energy based Performability models for Wireless Sensor Networks
Omondi, Fredrick A.; Shah, Purav; Gemikonakli, Orhan; Ever, Enver (2015-03-27)
A novel idea of alternating node operations between Active and Sleep modes in Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has successfully been used to save node power consumption. The idea which started off as a simple implementation of a timer in most protocols has been improved over the years to dynamically change with traffic conditions and the nature of application area. Recently, use of a second low power radio transceiver to triggered Active/Sleep modes has also been made. Active/Sleep operation modes have also be...
A novel deep reinforcement learning algorithm for online antenna tuning
Balevi, Eren; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2019-12-01)
© 2019 IEEE.The interactions between the cells, most notably due to their coupled interference and the large number of users, render the optimization of antenna parameters prohibitively complex. To cope with this problem, we propose a novel practical deep learning (DL) based reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to jointly optimize antenna tilt angle and vertical and horizontal half-power beamwidths of the macrocells in a heterogeneous cellular network (HetNet). In the proposed algorithm, DL is used to extr...
A High-Performance PWM Algorithm for Common-Mode Voltage Reduction in Three-Phase Voltage Source Inverters
Hava, Ahmet Masum (2011-07-01)
A high-performance pulsewidth modulation (PWM) algorithm with reduced common-mode voltage (CMV) and satisfactory overall performance is proposed for three-phase PWM inverter drives. The algorithm combines the near-state PWM (NSPWM) method that has superior overall performance characteristics at high modulation index, and MAZSPWM, a modified form of the active zero-state PWM method (AZSPWM1), which is suitable for low modulation index range of operation. Since AZSPWM1 has line-to-line voltage pulse reversals...
A cross-layer protocol for wireless sensor networks
Akyildiz, Ian F.; Vuran, Mehmet C.; Akan, Ozgur B. (2006-03-24)
Severe energy constraints of battery-powered sensor nodes necessitate energy-efficient communication protocols in order to fulfill application objectives of wireless sensor networks (WSN). However, the vast majority of the existing solutions are based on classical layered protocols approach. It is much more resource-efficient to have a unified scheme which melts common protocol layer functionalities into a cross-layer module for resource-constrained sensor nodes. To the best of our knowledge, to date, there...
