This paper presents a distributed protocol for communication among autonomous underwater vehicles. It is a complementary approach for coordination between the autonomous underwater vehicles. This paper mainly describes different methods for underwater communication. One of the methods is brute force approach in which messages are broadcasted to all the communication nodes, which in turn will broadcast the acknowledgement. Issues relating to this brute force approach are time delay, number of hops, power consumption, message collision and other practical issues. These issues are discussed and solved by proposing a new method to improve efficiency of this proposed approach and its effectiveness in communication among autonomous underwater vehicles.

We consider linear control systems with saturation in the input for which we know two stabilizing output feedback controllers. One is a nonlinear globally asymptotically stabilizing controller, while the other one is a linear only locally asymptotically stabilizing controller. We look for a composite output feedback control law that is equal to the linear controller for initial conditions in a neighborhood of the origin and that is globally asymptotically stabilizing. We suggest a constructive approach to solve this uniting problem and to modify the linear local controller into a nonlinear global controller. Moreover since we want some robustness with respect to measurement noise, actuator errors and external disturbances, we consider hybrid output feedback controllers, following recent developments in the literature on robustness in hybrid systems. We illustrate our main result by means of numerical examples.

Designed to diminish the artifacts caused by application of the state-of-the-art error concealment methods, a hybrid error concealment scheme is introduced. The proposed scheme stands out by using the inherent spatial redundancy of natural images along with a data hiding technique to obtain the information required for reconstruction of the lost parts of the image at the receiver. Furthermore, to maintain the quality of the received image in high packet loss conditions, an alternative scheme is proposed which will be activated in response to a receiverpsilas feedback reporting a high packet loss ratio. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme outperforms the existing methods in terms of the quality of the received image and computational cost.

Low gain feedback has found several applications in constrained control systems, robust control and nonlinear control. Low gain feedback refers to a family of stabilizing state feedback gains that are parameterized in a scalar and go to zero as the scalar decreases to zero. Such feedback gains can be constructed either by an eigenstructure assignment algorithm or through the solution of a parametric algebraic Riccati equation (ARE). The eigenstructure assignment approach leads to feedback gains in the form of a matrix polynomial in the parameter, while the ARE approach requires the solution of an ARE for each value of the parameter. This note proposes an alternative approach to low gain feedback design based on the solution of a parametric Lyapunov equation. Such an approach possesses the advantages of both the eigenstructure assignment approach and the ARE-based approach. It also avoids the possible numerical stiffness in solving a parametric ARE and the structural decomposition of the open loop system that is required by the eigenstructure assignment approach.

This paper investigates and contrasts the use of different Bayesian networks and a fuzzy integral for real-time sensor fusion using sonar and rangefinder laser values on an ActivMedia robot. Bayesian networks have become increasingly popular because of their ability to capitalize on the conditional probabilities present in an influence chain. The Choquet fuzzy integral, which has primarily been used for statistical analysis, has a great power of description. Comparison of the two methods indicates that noise within the sensor network can drastically affect the accuracy of the results, especially those obtained using the Bayesian network.

Survivability and reliability are critical for the operation of shipboard power system both in normal and damage conditions. This paper presents a novel dynamic reconfiguration approach for shipboard power system by using multi-agent system. With the similar topology of the shipboard power system, the multi-agent system is generalized to constraint satisfaction problem (CSP). The environment- reactive rules-agents (ERA) approach, which is multi-agent oriented, is used to support the organization formation behavior in dynamic reconfiguration. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by test results in a reduced shipboard power system.

A novel polarization-frequency-multiplexing scheme is implemented to suppress noise in a fiber-based Gaussian-modulated coherent-state quantum key distribution system. The achievable secrete key rate is 0.30 bit/pulse with a 5 km-fiber and 0.05 bit/pulse with a 20 km-fiber.

We describe various results related to the random-party distillation of multiparty entangled states—that is, conversion of such states into entangled states shared between fewer parties, where those parties are not predetermined. In previous work we showed that certain output states (namely Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen pairs) could be reliably acquired from a prescribed initial multipartite state [namely the W state |W⟩=13(|100⟩+|010⟩+|001⟩)] via random-party distillation that could not be reliably created between predetermined parties. Here we provide a more rigorous definition of what constitutes “advantageous” random-party distillation. We show that random-party distillation is always advantageous for W-class three-qubit states (but only sometimes for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger class states). We show that the general class of multiparty states known as symmetric Dicke states can be readily converted to many other states in the class via random-party distillation. Finally we show that random-party distillation is provably not advantageous in the limit of multiple copies of pure states.

Quantum-key-distribution (QKD) systems can send quantum signals over more than 100km standard optical fiber and are widely believed to be secure. Here, we show experimentally a technologically feasible attack—namely, the time-shift attack—against a commercial QKD system. Our result shows that, contrary to popular belief, an eavesdropper, Eve, has a non-negligible probability (∼4%) to break the security of the system. Eve’s success is due to the well-known detection efficiency loophole in the experimental testing of Bell’s inequalities. Therefore, the detection efficiency loophole plays a key role not only in fundamental physics, but also in technological applications such as QKD systems.
