Yayın A global optimal control methodology and its application to a mobile robot model(Elsevier B.V., 2016) Dinçmen, ErkinA global optimal control algorithm is developed and applied to an omni-directional mobile robot model. The aim is to search and find the most intense signal source among other signal sources in the operation region of the robot. In other words, the control problem is to find the global extremum point when there are local extremas. The locations of the signal sources are unknown and it is assumed that the signal magnitudes are maximum at the sources and their magnitudes are decreasing away from the sources. The distribution characteristics of the signals are unknown, i.e. the gradients of the signal distribution functions are unknown. The control algorithm also doesn't need any position measurement of the robot itself. Only the signal magnitude should be measured via a sensor mounted on the robot. The simulation study shows the performance of the controller.Yayın Optimal primary-secondary user pairing and power allocation in cognitive cooperative multiple access channels(IEEE, 2014) Bakşi, Saygın; Kaya, OnurWe develop jointly optimal power control and primary-secondary user partnering strategies for a cognitive cooperative multiple access channel with K primary and K secondary users. For each primary user, a cooperating secondary user is assigned. We consider both underlay and overlay modes for cognition/cooperation. In overlay mode, each secondary user decodes and relays part of its assigned primary user's message, and simultaneously transmits its own independent message, while ensuring the primary user achieves at least its single user capacity with power control. The encoding is based on channel adaptive block Markov superposition coding, where the powers assigned to primary and secondary user codewords are optimized so as to maximize either the system's sum rate, or the sum of secondary users' rates. In underlay mode, each secondary user employs independent signalling and allocates its power to maximize its own rate, without decreasing its assigned primary user's rate. The partnering problem for either mode is reduced to a maximum weighted matching (MWM) problem on a bipartite graph, and solved jointly optimally with the power allocation problem.Yayın Incremental construction of rule ensembles using classifiers produced by different class orderings(IEEE, 2016) Yıldız, Olcay Taner; Ulaş, AydınIn this paper, we discuss a novel approach to incrementally construct a rule ensemble. The approach constructs an ensemble from a dynamically generated set of rule classifiers. Each classifier in this set is trained by using a different class ordering. We investigate criteria including accuracy, ensemble size, and the role of starting point in the search. Fusion is done by averaging. Using 22 data sets, floating search finds small, accurate ensembles in polynomial time.Yayın Design and implementation of wideband microwave amplifiers based on Normalized Gain Function(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2014) Köprü, Ramazan; Kılınç, Sedat; Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this work, we introduce the design and implementation of wideband microwave amplifiers based on "Normalized Gain Function (NGF)" method. Normalized Gain Function is defined as the ratio of desired shape or frequency response of the gain function of the amplifier to be designed and shape of the transistor forward gain function. Synthesis of input/output matching networks (IMN/OMN) of the amplifier require target gain curves as the functions of normalized gain function to be tracked in two sequential nonlinear optimization processes. A prototype low power amplifier circuit is produced and measured to show the usability of the design approach.Yayın Rate-distortion and complexity joint optimization for fast motion estimation in H.264 video coding(IEEE, 2006) Ateş, Hasan Fehmi; Kanberoğlu, Berkay; Altunbaşak, YücelH.264 video coding standard offers several coding modes including inter-prediction modes that use macroblock partitions with variable block sizes. Choosing a rate-distortion optimal mode among these possibilities contributes significantly to the superior coding efficiency of the H.264 encoder. Unfortunately, searching for optimal motion vectors of each possible subblock incurs a heavy computational cost. In this paper, in order to reduce the complexity of integer-pel motion estimation, we propose a rate-distortion and complexity joint optimization method that selects for each MB a subset of partitions to evaluate during motion estimation. This selection is based on simple measures of spatio-temporal activity within the MB. The procedure is optimized to minimize mode estimation error at a certain level of computational complexity. Simulation results show that the algorithm speeds up the motion estimation module by a factor of up to 20 with little loss in coding efficiency.Yayın Cooperative multiple access under energy harvesting constraints(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc, 2015) Su, Nuğman; Kaya, Onur; Ulukuş, Şennur; Koca, MutluWe consider a cooperative multiple access channel (MAC) with two energy harvesting transmitters. The transmitters perform delay constrained transmission, i.e., every information block is encoded, transmitted and decoded between two consecutive energy harvests. We aim to maximize the achievable departure region over a finite transmission duration. We formulate the departure region maximization as a convex optimization problem. We propose an iterative algorithm which uses a directional waterfilling strategy to calculate the optimal power components. The departure region obtained by cooperation is shown to be significantly larger than that of a MAC without cooperation under the same energy arrival patterns. As a special case, we also analyze an energy harvesting relay channel with full duplex cooperation.Yayın A novel method to design wideband power amplifier for wireless communication(IEEE, 2013) Köprü, Ramazan; Kuntman, Hulusi Hakan; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaA new approach is presented to design microwave amplifiers to deliver maximum output power using Simplified Real Frequency Technique (SRFT). Proposed method tracks the maximum stable gain (MSG) curve of the active device (BJT, FET etc.) under consideration. Maximum Stable Gain Amplifier (MSGA) possesses higher gain than that of the constant or Flat Gain Amplifier (FGA) along the operating frequency band. Compared to FGA, it is this feature that makes MSGA high efficiency and low DC power consumption amplifier. Employing the proposed design method, a MSG power amplifier is constructed over the frequency band of 800-5200 MHz which can be utilized for GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX applications.Yayın Improving the calibration time of traffic simulation models using parallel computing technique(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019-06) Dadashzadeh, Nima; Ergün, Murat; Kesten, Ali Sercan; Zura, MarijanThe calibration procedure for traffic simulation models can be a very time-consuming process in the case of a large-scale and complex network. In the application of Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) such as Genetic Algorithms (GA) and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for calibration of traffic simulation models, objective function evaluation is the most time-consuming step in such calibration problems, because EA has to run a traffic simulation and calculate its corresponding objective function value once for each set of parameters. The main contribution of this study has been to develop a quick calibration procedure for the parameters of driving behavior models using EA and parallel computing techniques (PCTs). The proposed method was coded and implemented in a microscopic traffic simulation software. Two scenarios with/without PCT were analyzed using the developed methodology. The results of scenario analysis show that using an integrated calibration and PCT can reduce the total computational time of the optimization process significantly-in our experiments by 50%-and improve the optimization algorithm's performance in a complex optimization problem. The proposed method is useful for overcoming the limitation of computational time of the existing calibration methods and can be applied to various EAs and traffic simulation software.Yayın A numerical real frequency broadband matching technique based on parametric representation of scattering parameters(IEEE, 1998-11-24) Aksen, Ahmet; Çimen, Ebru Gürsu; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this study, a computer, aided broadband matching technique based on the parametric representation of scattering parameters is proposed. The new technique combines the advantageous of the so called parametric approach utilizing the impedance formalizm and the real frequency scattering technique. With the reformulation of these real frequency techniques, some laborous numerical computational steps are omitted. The descriptive network functions are obtained in an explicit form without any need to the polynomial factorizations and the solution of equation sets. The application of the technique and the comparision of the results with those of the other real frequency approaches is discussed on examples.Yayın Mixed element wideband microwave amplifier design via simplified real frequency technique(IEEE Computer Society, 2014) Kılınç, Sedat; Köprü, Ramazan; Aksen, Ahmet; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık BinboğaIn this study, we illustrate the design and implementation of a wideband microwave small-signal amplifier composed of mixed elements. The design is based on Simplified Real Frequency Technique (SRFT). A design of low power amplifier circuit is completed and its simulations are performed in success. The circuit is designed with lumped elements, however, some of the lumped elements are converted to distributed elements for their convenience in production. In this way, a mixed element wideband microwave amplifier comprised of input/output matching networks with lumped and distributed elements has been formed. Layout work and also post layout simulation is given with satisfying results.
