Voice Compression and Communications: Principles and Applications for Fixes and Wireless Channels
No full textUp-to-date, expert coverage of topics in wireless voice communications Voice communication is the most important facet of mobile radio service. Even when the predicted surge of wireless data and Internet services becomes a reality, voice will remain the most natural means of human communication. Voice Compression and Communications details issues in wireless voice communications and treats compression, channel coding, and wireless transmission as a joint subject. Part I covers background material, whereas Part II provides detailed information on both proprietary and standardized analysis-by-synthesis codecs, including the speech codecs of virtually all existing wireline-based and wireless systems. Parts III and IV discuss mainly research-based wideband, audio, as well as very low-rate schemes likely to find their way into future standards. Voice Compression and Communications describes fundamental concepts in a non-mathematical way early in the book for those with only a background knowledge of signal processing and communications. More advanced readers will find detailed discussions of theoretical principles, future concepts, and solutions to various specific wireless voice communications problems

Multi-fidelity methods for fluid-structure interaction and uncertainty quantification
No full textThe cost and turnaround time of the load calculation cycle in the design process of aircraft can be reduced by developing new numerical simulation technologies aimed at efficient prediction of steady and unsteady force coefficients in the flight envelope. In order to capture the most extreme stress levels due to gust and manoeuvres, efficient time-accurate analysis of fluid-structure interaction is desired. In order to incorporate uncertainties in flight conditions, manoeuvres, shape and material properties, efficient uncertainty quantification is desired. This thesis aims at developing efficient multi-fidelity algorithms for fluid-structure interaction and uncertainty quantification. Space-mapping is a multi-fidelity technique that can be applied in order to accelerate strongly coupled partitioned fluid-structure interaction. Gradient-Enhanced Kriging is a response surface technique that can be used for uncertainty quantification. Aggressive Space-Mapping is applied to three academic fluid-structure interaction problems of increasing complexity. For most test cases considered the estimated and observed speedup with respect to the Quasi-Newton algorithm is larger than 1. The influence of the timestep size on the speedup is large compared to other parameters. In case of compressible flows the speedup can rise to 1.5 for large time-steps. In case of incompressible flows higher speedups can be expected due to strong coupling of the fluid-structure interaction. Gradient-Enhanced Kriging (GEK) is applied to two academic uncertainty quantification problems of increasing complexity. The observed speedup of GEK with respect to Kriging increases with the number of dimensions of the design-space. When the gradients are computed with the adjoint method the theoretical speedup is S = (1+d)/2, where d is the number of dimensions. The observed speedup and theoretical speedup are only close if the derivative noise, variation of the sampling plan and the variation of the target accuracies are taken into account.AerodynamicsAerospace Engineerin
