Pressure ripples yield noise and vibration in hydraulic pipelines, which are inevitably generated by a fluctuation of flow rate in the pump mechanism, and such noise and vibration deteriorate the stability and accuracy of hydraulic systems. To reduce the pressure ripples, accumulator and hydraulic attenuator are normally used. In this study, parallel pipeline with a bent-axis piston pump is introduced to a hydraulic pipe system as a method for reducing the pressure ripples and using the transfer matrix method, the dynamic characteristics of the pipe system are analysed and compared with experimental results. The results show that the phase interference using parallel pipeline with a bent-axis piston pump is effective to reduce the pressure ripples in the hydraulic pipelines.

Nano scale networks are futuristic networks deemed as enablers for the Internet of Nano Things, Body area nano networks, target tracking, anomaly/ abnormality detection at molecular level and neuronal therapy / drug delivery applications. Molecular communication is considered the most compatible communication technology for nano devices. However, connectivity in such networks is very low due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). Few research papers have addressed the issue of ISI mitigation in molecular communication. However, many of these methods are not adaptive to dynamic environmental conditions. This paper presents an enhancement over original Memory-1 ISI cancellation scheme using maximum likelihood estimation of a channel parameter (λ) to make it adaptable to variable channel conditions. Results of the Monte Carlo simulation show that, the connectivity (P_conn) improves by 28% for given simulation parameters and environmental conditions by using enhanced Memory-1 cancellation method. Moreover, this ISI mitigation method allows reduction in symbol time (Ts) up to 50 seconds i.e. an improvement of 75% is achieved.

Multiple antenna transmission and reception, whose principal merits are significant increase in spectral efficiency and/or reduction in error rate, lose much of their effectiveness in high levels of interference from other cells. Incorporating the other cell interference into advanced signal processing at transmitter and receiver is one of the key challenges for cell boundary users in cellular system. Since receiver can obtain exact knowledge of interference channels more easily than transmitter, an interference-aware multiple antenna receiver that can significantly attenuate interferences is considered. Based on the receiver, codebook-based coordinated precoding schemes are proposed. According to the level of cooperation, centralized and distributed schemes are proposed. We verified by the simulation results that even the distributed schemes, which have same amount of feedback and no cooperation between cells, have performance gain compared to the conventional non-coordinated scheme.

A general method for the evaluation of the symbol error probability (SER) of ultra wideband (UWB) systems with various kind of modulation schemes (N-PAM, M-PPM, Bi-Orthogonal), in presence of multipath channel, multiuser and strong narrowband interference, is presented. This method is shown to be able to include all the principal multiaccess techniques proposed so far for UWB, time hopping (TH), direct sequence (DS) and optical orthogonal codes (OOC). A comparison between the performance of these multiple access and modulation techniques is given, for both ideal Rake receiver and minimum mean square error (MMSE) equalizer. It is shown that for all the analyzed multiple access schemes, a Rake receiver exhibits a high error floor in presence of narrowband interference (NBI) and that the value of the error floor is in-fluenced by the spectral characteristics of the spreading code. As expected, an MMSE receiver offers better performance, representing a promising candidate for UWB systems. When the multiuser interference is dominant, all multiple access techniques exhibit similar performance under high-load conditions. If the number of users is significantly lower than the spreading factor, then DS outperforms both TH and OOC. Finally 2PPM is shown to offer better performance than the other modulation schemes in presence of multiuser interference; increasing the spreading factor is proposed as a more effective strategy for SER reduction than the use of time diversity.

Interference reduction method of vehicle collision avoidance sensor which is used for the low speed electric vehicle has been investigated. Various methods were attempted for the vehicle collision avoidance distance sensor, which received a transmitted signal from a front driving vehicle to measure the distance between two vehicles, to avoid interference by the own transmitter signal toward the rear following vehicle. In this study, -12dB of interference cancellation ratio was realized by using the phase cancellation method to the transmitted signal from the own vehicle. Proposed phase cancellation method is regarded to have the advantage of continuous monitoring in comparison to the conventional time sharing transmitting and receiving method.

In order to guarantee the multiuser transmission performance of a chirp spread spectrum system, the cross-correlation coefficient (CCC) among multiple users should be carefully considered. In this paper, we propose a chirp rate allocation scheme for reducing the multiple access interference based on the cross-correlation coefficient. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can improve the multiple access interference performance.

The stray current interference problem could induce the corrosion of near-by structure and rail itself. Many efforts has been concentrated on the reduction of the interference. In this work the influences of separation distance, soil resistivity, pipe coating resistance, leak resistance of rail were studied using the numerical analysis methods. These analysis could be used to estimate the sensitivity of each variables in the study of the mitigation method and their numerical analysis.

Due to the significant aerodynamic interference from sub-towers and surrounding tall buildings, the wind loads and dynamic responses on main tower of three-tower connected tall building typically change especially compared with those on the isolated single tall building. This paper addresses the wind load effects and equivalent static wind loads (ESWLs) of three-tower connected tall building based on measured synchronous surface pressures in a wind tunnel. The variations of the global shape coefficients and extremum wind loads of main tower structure with or without interference effect under different wind directions are studied, pointing out the deficiency of the traditional wind loads based on the load codes for the three-tower connected tall building. The ESWLs calculation method based on elastic restoring forces is proposed, which completely contains the quasi-static item, inertia item and the coupled effect between them. Then the wind-induced displacement and acceleration responses for main tower of three-tower connected tall building in the horizontal and torsional directions are investigated, subsequently the structural basal and floor ESWLs under different return periods, wind directions and damping ratios are studied. Finally, the action mechanism of interference effect on structural wind effects is investigated. Main conclusions can provide a sientific basis for the wind-resistant design of such three-tower connected tall building.

We propose a novel scheme to suppress the multiple-access interference(MAI) in coherent optical CDMA systems. This is based on a differential detection using the dual-control NOLM. For an experimental demonstration, two encoded channels we constructed and decoded. These decoded signals are sent to the dual-control NOLM and a high autocorrelation peak with suppressed MAI at the output of the NOLM is observed. Signal-to-interference ratio is improved by 7 ㏈.

In this paper, we analyzed the other-cell interference characteristics for various non-uniform traffic distributions and their effects on the capacity of multi-cell CDMA system. We consider three different traffic distributions, i.e., linear, exponential and Gaussian traffic distribution with distribution parameters. Changing the distribution parameter, we can obtain the center-focused distributions or uniform distributions for each model. From the results of other-cell interference calculation we can see that the other-cell interference decreases, as the user concentrates on the base station. Also using frequency reuse efficiency indicating the capacity reduction of a multi-cell system when compared to a single cell system, we evaluate the effect of traffic distribution on the reverse link CDMA capacity. For linear case, the capacity of multi-cell system is reduced to 0.637∼0.867 times that of single cell system. On the other hand, for both exponential and Gaussian cases, the capacity under a multi-cell environment is equal to 70∼100% of that under a single cell. Therefore, we conclude that the average capacity of multi-cell CDMA system are increased when users are likely to be at near the cell base station due to reduced total other-cell interference and decreased when users exist at near the cell edge regardless of traffic distribution models.
