An adaptive Maximum A-Posteriori based channel estimation method is presented in this paper. The estimator is proposed to be used in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing systems in Power LineCommunication. The proposed estimator estimates the subchannel correlation adaptively where the channel…

In this paper, we investigate effects of communication delays on the nonlinear dynamics of connected vehicle systems. Our modeling framework incorporates communication delays, which arise from the intermittency and packet drops in wireless vehicle-to-vehicle communication. Plant stability and string stability are used to characterize the…
