Near-capacity iterative decoding of binary self-concatenated codes using soft decision demapping and 3-D EXIT charts
No full textIn this paper 3-D Extrinsic Information Transfer (EXIT) charts are used to design binary Self-Concatenated Convolutional Codes employing Iterative Decoding (SECCC-ID), exchanging extrinsic information with the soft-decision demapper to approach the channel capacity. Recursive Systematic Convolutional (RSC) codes are selected as constituent codes, an interleaver is used for randomising the extrinsic information exchange of the constituent codes, while a puncturer helps to increase the achievable bandwidth efficiency. The convergence behaviour of the decoder is analysed with the aid of bit-based 3-D EXIT charts, for accurately calculating the operating EbN0 threshold, especially when SP based soft demapper is employed. Finally, we propose an attractive system configuration, which is capable of operating within about 1 dB from the channel capacity

Kunnskapsoverføring i kunnskapsintensive bedrifter
No full textSammendrag
Problemområde/ Problemstilling
Denne oppgaven har som hensikt å se hvordan kunnskapsintensive bedrifter tilrettelegger for kunnskapsoverføring. Av den grunn velges Hartmark og Skanska, der formålet er å betrakte organisasjonene fra kunnskapsarbeidernes ståsted gjennom intervju og observasjon. Organisasjonene tar for seg tilrettelegging av kunnskapsoverføring som inngår i intervjuene av kunnskapsarbeidere og ses i relasjon til taus- eksplisitt kunnskap.
Forskningsspørsmålet for oppgaven er som følger:
• Hvordan skjer kunnskapsoverføring hos kunnskapsintensive bedrifter?
Metode
Oppgaven er basert på et kvalitativt empirisk casestudie, som gjør det mulig å få innblikk i tilrettelegging av aktiviteter og erfaringer innen organisasjonene. Selskapene som brukes som case er et konsulentselskap og et entreprenørkonsern. Oppgavens empiriske data er samlet gjennom observasjon og kvalitativ intervju av 11 kunnskapsarbeidere i Skanska og Hartmark, og problemstillingen belyses gjennom dette. Gjennom intervju og observasjon er formålet å få fatt i hvordan de oppfatter og forstår kunnskapsoverføring, tilknyttet til de ulike prosesser og aktiviteter som skjer i virksomheten.
Resultat / Hovedkonklusjon
Analysene har vist at kunnskapsoverføring forkommer gjennom ulike prosesser, arenaer og verktøy, som blant annet intranett, prosjektarbeid, møter, interne og eksterne kurs, felles problemløsninger og presentasjon. Arbeidsmiljøet er preget av mange teknologiske redskaper og informasjonsstrukturer.
Organisasjonene tar i bruk disse verktøyene ut fra hvilke formål de ønsker å oppnå. Prosjektarbeid og problemløsninger oppleves mer uformelt i arbeidssituasjon, enn møter og kurs som oppfattes mer formelle og strukturerte. Samtidig fremhever informantene viktigheten av kunnskapsdeling. Det gjelder både å dele taus og eksplisitt kunnskap.
De fleste av informanter i mitt case legger stor vekt på åpen kommunikasjon. De påpeker at gjennom åpen kommunikasjon kan taus kunnskap bli til eksplisitt kunnskap. Dette foregår mest i uformelle arenaer eller kontekster. Databaser som verktøy blir sett som ``tilgjengelig informasjon``, og blir sett som viktig kilde for å kunne spre kunnskap i organisasjonene.
Oppgaven har vist at overføring av kunnskap er en innviklet prosess. Det forutsetter at organisasjonen har forståelse av hensikten til kunnskapsoverføring.
Målet med undersøkelsen min var ikke å generalisere, men heller å få en dypere innsikt. I tillegg til å finne meninger gjennom kunnskapsarbeideres egne opplevelser. Hovedfunnene viser at alle informantene ser taus kunnskap som et viktig begrep. Dette er sentralt del av deres kompetanse. De opplever å gjøre bruk av den i deres daglige arbeidet. Undersøkelsen viser at eksplisitt kunnskap har sterk posisjon i selskapene
