    • Dynamic buffer sizing and pacing as enablers of 5G low-latency services 

      Irazabal Bengoa, Mikel; López Aguilera, M. Elena; Seyfettin Demirkol, Ilker; Nikaein, Navid (2020-08-17)
      Article
      Open Access
      3GPP standards organization is performing an impressive effort trying to reach sub-millisecond latencies for 5G. However, such efforts may become fruitless if exogenously generated delays at transport layer are not considered. ...

      We report a new learning approach in collaborative learning-by doing, real-world team-based project in two ICT courses: DigitalSystems and Computing Engineering, conducted at Universitat Polite`cnica de Catalunya. Data ...

    • Optimal batch scheduling of a multiproduct dairy process using a combined optimization/constraint programming approach 

      Escobet Canal, Teresa; Puig Cayuela, Vicenç; Quevedo Casín, Joseba Jokin; Palà Schönwälder, Pere; Romera Formiguera, Juli; Adelman, Winfried (Pergamon Press, 2019-03-08)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      This paper presents the optimal batch scheduling of a multi-product dairy process using an approach that combines optimization and constraint programming techniques. A suitable model describing the subprocesses and production ...

    • A discrete-time technique for the steady-state analysis of nonlinear class-E amplifiers 

      Águila López, Francisco del; Palà Schönwälder, Pere; Molina Gaudó, Pilar; Mediano Heredia, Arturo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007-06-11)
      Article
      Open Access
      Switched circuits are widely used, particularly for power electronic applications in which efficiency is important. Of these applications, the class-E amplifier has been given particular attention, since it is theoretically ...

    • Joint symbol and chip synchronization for a burst-mode-communication superregenerative MSK receiver 

      López Riera, Alexis; Águila López, Francisco del; Palà Schönwälder, Pere; Bonet Dalmau, Jordi; Giralt Mas, Ma. Rosa; Moncunill Geniz, Francesc Xavier (2017-01-05)
      Article
      Open Access
      In this paper we describe a superregenerative (SR) MSK receiver able to operate in a burst-mode framework where synchronization is required for each packet. The receiver is based on an SR oscillator which provides samples ...

    • A discrete-time approach to the steady-state and stability analysis of distributed nonlinear autonomous circuits 

      Bonet Dalmau, Jordi; Palà Schönwälder, Pere (2000-02)
      Article
      Open Access
      We present a direct method for the steady-state and stability analysis of autonomous circuits with transmission lines and generic non- linear elements. With the discretization of the equations that describe the circuit ...

    • Stability analysis of periodic solutions in non-linear autonomous circuits: a discrete time approach 

      Miró Sans, Joan Maria; Palà Schönwälder, Pere; Mas Casals, Orestes Miquel (1996-07)
      Article
      Restricted access - publisher's policy
      Steady-state methods have been devised to compute periodic wave-forms without having to integrate the autonomous circuit equations until the transients die out. Stability analysis of the computed solutions is the next ...

    • The Mendeleev-Meyer force project 

      Santos Hernández, Sergio; Lai, Chia-Yun; Amadei, Carlo Alberto; Gadelrab, Karim Raafat; Tang, Tzu-Chieh; Verdaguer Prats, Albert; Barcons Xixons, Víctor; Font Teixidó, Josep; Colchero, Jaimer; Chiesa, Matteo (2016-10-28)
      Article
      Open Access
      Here we present the Mendeleev–Meyer Force Project which aims at tabulating all materials and substances in a fashion similar to the periodic table. The goal is to group and tabulate substances using nanoscale force footprints ...
