We study the secret message capacity of an ergodic block fading wiretap channel with partial channel state information at the transmitter and perfect channel state information at the receivers. We consider that in addition to the statistics of the main and the eavesdropper channel state information (CSI), the sender is provided by the legitimate receiver with a q-bit feedback, at the beginning of each coherence block, through an error-free feedback channel, with capacity q bits. We establish upper and lower bounds on the secrecy capacity. We show that a positive secrecy rate is achievable even when the feedback is at the end of each coherence block and q = 1. We also show that the lower and the upper bounds coincide asymptotically as q → ∞. Finally, asymptotic analysis at high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) are presented where it is found that the capacity is bounded at high-SNR and present a simple suboptimal scalar quantizer that is capacity achieving, without the need of any numerical optimization, as q → ∞. When applied to Rayleigh fading channels, we show that, at high-SNR, a 4-bit feedback achieves 90% of the secrecy capacity when perfect main CSI is available at the transmitter.

In this paper, the performance evaluation of a smart antenna using D3LS and NCLS algorithms has been presented. The simulations are conducted with the scenario of mobile communication systems. They have confirmed the feasibility of the D3LS and NCLS smart antenna applied to mobile communications. It should be note that the smart antenna employed in this paperis purely blind and single snapshot operation. The simulation results show good performance of the smart antenna.

This paper presents a smart antenna system using a combination of nonconventional least square (NCLS) optimization and direct data domain least square (D3LS) for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and beamforming, respectively. In the proposed system, NCLS optimization is utilized to estimate DOA of incoming signal first. The estimated DOA is then assisted for initial processing of D3LS in beamforming. The performance in term of estimated signal amplitude and estimated DOA of the proposed system is evaluated via simulations.

This paper presents a pioneering approach for weld bead detection in radiographic images obtained by the Double Wall Double Image (DWDI) technique. Such task constitutes an essential step for several high level processes, such as fully automatic flaw identification on welded joints. Sets of sample pixels, corresponding to candidate solutions provided by a genetic algorithm (GA), are compared to pre-defined synthetic weld bead and pipe models in an image matching procedure. The fitness of each set (individual) is evaluated based on a linear combination of its genotype (evaluated by a heuristic function) and phenotype. The evolutionary process automatically selects the best individual in the population and, thus, provides information such as position, orientation and dimension of the detected object. The proposed approach successfully detects pipes and weld beads in radiographic images of different complexities, encouraging future works.

Variable speed wind turbine generators installation has been significantly increased worldwide in the last few years. Voltage sag at the grid side may call for the disconnection of the wind turbine from the grid as under such faults it may not comply with the recent developed grid codes for wind energy conversion systems (WECS). In this paper, a Unified Power Flow Controller (UPFC) is applied to improve the low voltage ride through (LVRT) capability of doubly fed induction generator (DFIG)-based WECS during voltage sag at the grid side. Simulation is carried out using MATLAB/Simulink software. Results show that UPFC can significantly improve the LVRT capability of DFIG-based WECS and hence maintaining wind turbine connection to the grid during certain levels of voltage sag at the grid side.

The integration of wind turbines into modern power grids has significantly increased during the last decade. The wind turbine equipped with full converter based wind energy Conversion System (FCWECS) represented about 20.3% of the worldwide total wind capacity in 2003. Since FCWECS is equipped with a voltage source inverter (VSI), it is vulnerable that misfire and fire-through may occur within the VSI switches. In this paper, impact of these switching malfunctions on FCWECS performance is investigated and discussed. Detailed simulations of the system under study are carried out using Matlab/Simulink to highlight the influence of these converter internal faults on PCC voltage, DC link voltage and shaft speed, as well as generator active and reactive power. Furthermore, compliance of the FCWECS with Spain fault ride through (FRT) grid codes is also investigated.

We present an approach for complete inkjet printing of solar cell front contacts for the implementation of "selective emitter approach", which can help in solar cell efficiency improvement. The fabrication of optimized emitters that can allow the low recombination below the silver front contact is an important process in solar cell fabrication. This selective emitter approach presents a heavily doped layer beneath the electrode and lightly doped regions between the electrode grids. Selective opening of the anti reflection coating is needed to implement this combination of heavily and lightly doped regions. This was achieved using an inkjet approach by printing an etchant-dopant ink followed by the printing of a diffusion barrier using a dielectric ink. Using a Trident Jet256S industrial printhead we created etched pattern with etch width -50 μm. Once this pattern was created, the metallic front contact grid was printed using a silver nano-ink on top of the etched regions. Inkjet printed silver front contact grid with line width -75 μm was printed successfully.

In this paper, we propose joint user-and-hop scheduling over dual-hop block-fading broadcast channels in order to exploit multi-user diversity gains and multi-hop diversity gains all together. To achieve this objective, the first and second hops are scheduled opportunistically based on the channel state information and as a prerequisite we assume that the relay, which is half-duplex and operates using decode-and-forward, is capable of storing the received packets from the source until the channel condition of the destined user becomes good to be scheduled. We formulate the joint scheduling problem as maximizing the weighted sum of the long term achievable rates by the users under a stability constraint, which means that on the long term the rate received by the relay should equal the rate transmitted by it, in addition to constant or variable power constraints. We show that this problem is equivalent to a single-hop broadcast channel by treating the source as a virtual user with an optimal priority weight that maintains the stability constraint. We show how to obtain the source weight either off-line based on channel statistics or on real-time based on channel measurements. Furthermore, we consider special cases including the maximum sum rate scheduler and the proportional fair scheduler. We demonstrate via numerical results that our proposed joint scheduling scheme enlarges the rate region as compared with a scheme that employs multi-user scheduling alone.
