A battery system consists of many battery cells or modules that may have different characteristics. To achieve reliable, efficient, and extended utilization of battery systems, the battery management system (BMS) must keep track of individual cell-level dynamics, state of charge (SOC), state of health (SOH), failure status, and life-expectancy prediction. Current battery technology employs cell or... View full abstract»

Mode transitions are significant events in the operation of series-parallel hybrid electric vehicles (SPHEVs) with a clutch serving as the key enabling actuator element. Due to the friction-induced discontinuity of the clutch torque, seamless transition is difficult to achieve. In this paper, a model reference control (MRC) law is proposed to coordinate the motor torque, engine torque, and clutch ... View full abstract»

Cited by:  Papers (7)
| | PDF (727 KB) | HTML

We study a time-slotted multiple-access system with a primary user (PU) and a secondary user (SU) sharing the same channel resource. The SU senses the channel at the beginning of the slot. If found free, it transmits with probability 1. If busy, it transmits with a certain access probability that is a function of its queue length and whether it has a new packet arrival. Both users, i.e., the PU an... View full abstract»

In this paper, we address the problem of cooperatively detecting a primary user (PU) among multiple cognitive users (CUs) when their location information is available at a CU base station. For fast detection, each CU reports a power estimate, based on one-snapshot observation of the radio environment, to the CU base station. A generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is developed at the CU base st... View full abstract»

| | PDF (538 KB) | HTML

Experimental modeling of wireless fading channels performed by the WINNER II project has been shown to fit a Rician rather than Rayleigh distribution, the latter being assumed in many analytical studies of multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. Unfortunately, a Rician MIMO channel matrix has a nonzero mean (i.e., specular component) that yields, for the matrix product that de... View full abstract»

In this paper, we study energy-efficient transmission for Cognitive Radio (CR) that opportunistically operates on the primary user's channel through spectrum sensing.
