| open and closed loop communication: MIMO System Technology for Wireless Communications George Tsoulos, 2018-10-03 For broadband communications, it was frequency division multiplexing. For optical communications, it was wavelength division multiplexing. Then, for all types of networks it was code division. Breakthroughs in transmission speed were made possible by these developments, heralding next-generation networks of increasing capability in each case. The basic idea is the same: more channels equals higher throughput. For wireless communications, it is space-time coding using multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) technology. Providing a complete treatment of MIMO under a single cover, MIMO System Technology for Wireless Communications assembles coverage on all aspects of MIMO technology along with up-to-date information on key related issues. Contributors from leading academic and industrial institutions around the world share their expertise and lend the book a global perspective. They lead you gradually from basic to more advanced concepts, from propagation modeling and performance analysis to space-time codes, various systems, implementation options and limitations, practical system development considerations, field trials, and network planning issues. Linking theoretical analysis to practical issues, the book does not limit itself to any specific standardization or research/industrial initiatives. MIMO is the catalyst for the next revolution in wireless systems, and MIMO System Technology for Wireless Communications lays a thorough and complete foundation on which to build the next and future generations of wireless networks. |
| open and closed loop communication: The Mystery of Leadership Casey Bedgood, 2022-07-06 Is leadership a mystery? Do leaders really understand the value, risk, and reality of the leadership brand? Or is leadership an illusion where ignorance is bliss? The purpose of this book is to unveil the mystery of leadership. Leadership is a risky proposition and not as easy as it seems. In naivety, leaders or those aspiring often are misguided by the perception of the pot of gold at the end of the leadership rainbow. With time, they quickly realize that leadership is costly, has consequences for others, and is riddled with challenges. Thus, what leaders don't know them will harm them and others eventually. In The Mystery of Leadership (Unlocking the Code to Value, Risk, and Leadership Illusions), readers will learn: How to find and leverage the leadership voice. The importance of timing and the value of waiting. The cost of being a sage and choosing an authentic leadership brand. The illusion of leadership political capital. How to assemble the right leadership room, set goals, and identify effective leaders for the optimal team. The cost of being a leadership watchman. How to recover from leadership falls and weather leadership storms. |
| open and closed loop communication: Police Administration Gary W Cordner, 2013-01-15 Police Administration provides a thorough overview of what police supervisors and administrators need to know. The text examines police administration from four distinct perspectives: a systems perspective (the interrelatedness among units and organizations); a traditional, structural perspective (administrative principles, management functions, and the importance of written guidelines); a human behavioral perspective (the human element in organizations); and a strategic management perspective (communications and information systems, performance evaluation, strategies and tactics, and promising approaches to increasing police agency effectiveness). In addition to detailed coverage of management functions and organizational principles, the book emphasizes diversity principles and developing police agencies as learning organizations. A concluding chapter covers contemporary issues, including community engagement, collaboration, globalization, racial profiling, mass media and social media, cyber-crime, terrorism, and homeland security. The eighth edition includes analysis of timely matters such as technology, the police intelligence function, information sharing, interagency cooperation, and more. Each chapter is enhanced with learning objectives, discussion questions, and feature boxes. Six case studies with discussion questions provide opportunities for the reader to review real-world situations. |

| open and closed loop communication: Family By the Bible(TM) David J. Sumanth Ph.D., 2024-01-29 Some unique contributions of Family By the Bible are: 1. Instead of the traditional, hit-and-miss success of self-help Christian and secular books on managing families, this book offers a more-sure, proven approaches to creating and sustaining successful and strong families, because it draws on the infinite wisdom of God through His Scripture –the Bible. 2. Practical and proven tools and methods of the Bible are presented here to help make American families grow strong again. This is true for families all around the world as well. Strong families create strong communities, and strong communities create strong countries. And strong countries make happy and joyful societies in the world. 3. Joyful societies (as those pre-1950s) create more wholesome families, with better civility, and decency among the citizens, more peaceful pursuits for the common good, more harmony, less social costs, better emotional and relational health, and ultimately, to lesser existential threats to the 8 billion of us and our wonderful earth. 4. Elon Musk, the genius founder of Tesla Electric Car Company, and Space X company, is hoping that by relocating us to other planets like Mars, we will create more ideal societies. I humbly disagree with his notion. If anything, we, the corrupt humans, will carry forth our self-destructive thinking from the earth to the other planets, and replicate our same bad behaviors there as well! A more practical solution is to teach and train our families to learn the pre-1950s values and enjoy our lives here first! This book presents such tools. 5. If every family practices at least some of this book’s principles, we’ll have regained more pre-1950s values, and we can slash budgets for welfare, social costs, disease control, mental health, and illogical thinking which have been destroying all our fundamental institutions: religious, educational, legal, economical, and humanitarian. |

| open and closed loop communication: Optimal and Robust Scheduling for Networked Control Systems Stefano Longo, Tingli Su, Guido Herrmann, Phil Barber, 2018-09-03 Optimal and Robust Scheduling for Networked Control Systems tackles the problem of integrating system components—controllers, sensors, and actuators—in a networked control system. It is common practice in industry to solve such problems heuristically, because the few theoretical results available are not comprehensive and cannot be readily applied by practitioners. This book offers a solution to the deterministic scheduling problem that is based on rigorous control theoretical tools but also addresses practical implementation issues. Helping to bridge the gap between control theory and computer science, it suggests that the consideration of communication constraints at the design stage will significantly improve the performance of the control system. Technical Results, Design Techniques, and Practical Applications The book brings together well-known measures for robust performance as well as fast stochastic algorithms to assist designers in selecting the best network configuration and guaranteeing the speed of offline optimization. The authors propose a unifying framework for modelling NCSs with time-triggered communication and present technical results. They also introduce design techniques, including for the codesign of a controller and communication sequence and for the robust design of a communication sequence for a given controller. Case studies explore the use of the FlexRay TDMA and time-triggered control area network (CAN) protocols in an automotive control system. Practical Solutions to Your Time-Triggered Communication Problems This unique book develops ready-to-use engineering tools for large-scale control system integration with a focus on robustness and performance. It emphasizes techniques that are directly applicable to time-triggered communication problems in the automotive industry and in avionics, robotics, and automated manufacturing. |

| open and closed loop communication: Trust in Virtual Teams Thomas P. Wise, 2016-02-17 As projects become more complex and the project teams are more geographically and culturally dispersed, so strong, trusting relationships come to the fore. Trust provides the security that enables project teams to work together effectively, even when they face project-threatening problems and challenges. Because today’s team members work virtually as much by choice as by geographic necessity, business leaders must understand how team relationships such as trust, cross-divisional projects, and how offshore team participation are all positively motivated by a solid quality assurance program. Offering real world solutions, Trust in Virtual Teams provides a clear view of how virtual projects can succeed, and how quality assurance compliments and promotes effective organizational design and project management to build solid trust relationships. Dr Wise combines the latest research in virtual team trust with simple and proven quality methods. He builds upon more than 20 years of experience in quality and project work to guide team managers in creating high performing project teams. Our understanding of the role human factors play in project performance and project resilience continues to grow. As it does, so does our need to address the behaviors and culture that enable good performance. Tom Wise’s book is a thoughtful and pragmatic guide to help project teams and managers do just that. |
