In this paper the authors consider the operational problem of optimal signalling and control,called control-coding capacity(with feedback),C_(FB) in bits/second,of discrete-time nonlinear partially observable stochastic systems in state space form,subject to an average cost constraint.C_(FB) is the maximum rate of encoding signals or messages into randomized controller-encoder strategies with feedback,which control the state of the system,and reproducing the messages at the output of the system using a decoder or estimator with arbitrary small asymptotic error *** the first part of the paper,the authors characterize C_(FB) by an information theoretic optimization problem of maximizing directed information from the inputs to the outputs of the system,over randomized strategies(controller-encoders).The authors derive equivalent characterizations of C_(FB),using randomized strategies generated by either uniform or arbitrary distributed random variables(RVs),sufficient statistics,and a posteriori distributions of nonlinear filtering *** the second part of the paper,the authors analyze C_(FB) for linear-quadratic Gaussian partially observable stochastic systems(LQG-POSSs).The authors show that randomized strategies consist of control,estimation and signalling parts,and the sufficient statistics are,two Kalman-filters and an orthogonal innovations *** authors prove a semi-separation principle which states,the optimal control strategy is determined explicitly from the solution of a control matrix difference Riccati equation(DRE),independently of the estimation and signalling ***,the authors express the optimization problem of C_(FB) in terms of two filtering matrix DREs,a control matrix DRE,and the covariance of the innovations *** the paper,the authors illustrate that the expression of C_(FB) includes as degenerate cases,problems of stochastic optimal control and channel capacity of information transmission.

A silicon solar cell with a power conversion efficiency (PCE)of 4% was born in Bell Lab in 1954, seven decades ago. Today,silicon solar cells have reached an efficiency above 25%and achieved pervasive commercial success [1]. In spite of the steady improvement in efficiency, the interest and enthusiasm in search for new materials and innovative device architectures for newgeneration solar cells have never diminished or subsided;

In this paper, we present a Deep Neural Network(DNN) based framework that employs Radio Frequency(RF) hologram tensors to locate multiple Ultra-High Frequency(UHF) passive Radio-Frequency Identification(RFID) tags. The RF hologram tensor exhibits a strong relationship between observation and spatial location, helping to improve the robustness to dynamic environments and equipment. Since RFID data is often marred by noise, we implement two types of deep neural network architectures to clean up the RF hologram tensor. Leveraging the spatial relationship between tags, the deep networks effectively mitigate fake peaks in the hologram tensors resulting from multipath propagation and phase wrapping. In contrast to fingerprinting-based localization systems that use deep networks as classifiers, our deep networks in the proposed framework treat the localization task as a regression problem preserving the ambiguity between fingerprints. We also present an intuitive peak finding algorithm to obtain estimated locations using the sanitized hologram tensors. The proposed framework is implemented using commodity RFID devices, and its superior performance is validated through extensive experiments.
