Domino: Dominant Path-based Compensation for Hardware Impairments in Modern WiFi Sensing
WiFi sensing faces a critical reliability challenge due to hardware-induced RF distortions, especially with modern, market-dominant WiFi cards supporting 802.11ac/ax protocols. These cards employ sensitive automatic gain control and separate RF chains, introducing complex and dynamic distortions that render existing compensation methods ineffective. In this paper, we introduce Domino, a new framework that transforms channel state information (CSI) into channel impulse response (CIR) and leverag…

Motion compensation is a key component of video codecs. Conventional codecs (HEVC and VVC) have carefully refined this coding step, with an important focus on sub-pixel motion compensation.

Building on this, we introduce the concept of submanifold-constrained passivity and develop a novel compensation theorem that ensures output c…

a startling amount that appears to be the highest for any public school superintendent in Texas and among the top in the nation.
Valere Public Schools Superintendent Salvador Cavazos’ compensation to run three campuses in Austin, Corpus Christi and Brownsville
exceeds the less than $450,000 that New York City’s chancellor makes …

This charter school superintendent makes $870,000. He leads a district with 1,000 students.
On paper, Salvador Cavazos earns less than $300,000 to run Valere Public Schools, a small Texas charter network. But taxpayers likely aren’t aware that his total pay makes him one of the country’s highest-earning superintendents.

Regulation or Competition:Major-Minor Optimal Liquidation across Dark and Lit Pools
We study the optimal liquidation problem in both lit and dark pools for investors facing execution uncertainty in a continuous-time setting with market impact. First, we design an optimal make--take fee policy for a large investor liquidating her position across both pools, interacting with small investors who pay trading fees. We explicitly characterize the large investor's optimal liquidation strategies in both lit and dark pools using BSDEs under a compensation scheme proposed by an exchange…

Quantitative Damping Calculation and Compensation Method for Global Stability Improvement of Inverter-Based Systems
Small-signal stability issues-induced broadband oscillations pose significant threats to the secure operation of multi-inverter systems, attracting extensive research attention. Researches revealed that system instability is led by the lacking of positive damping, yet it has not been clearly specified how much the exact amount of damping compensation required to sufficiently ensure system global stability. This paper presents a feasible solution for quantitative damping calculation and compensa…

Bias Variation Compensation in Perimeter-Gated SPAD TRNGs
Random number generators that utilize arrays of entropy source elements suffer from bias variation (BV). Despite the availability of efficient debiasing algorithms, optimized implementations of hardware friendly options depend on the bit bias in the raw bit streams and cannot accommodate a wide BV. In this work, we present a 64 x 64 array of perimeter gated single photon avalanche diodes (pgSPADs), fabricated in a 0.35 μm standard CMOS technology, as a source of entropy to generate random bina…

Malleability-Resistant Encrypted Control System with Disturbance Compensation and Real-Time Attack Detection
This study proposes an encrypted PID control system with a disturbance observer (DOB) using a keyed-homomorphic encryption (KHE) scheme, aiming to achieve control performance while providing resistance to malleability-based attacks. The controller integrates a DOB with a PID structure to compensate for modeling uncertainties by estimating and canceling external disturbances. To enhance security, the system is designed to output error symbols when ciphertexts are falsified during decryption or e…

Phase Noise Tolerance for Low-Pilot-Overhead OFDM Terahertz Links Beyond 64-QAM
THz wireless communications have garnered significant attention due to their unprecedented data rates enabled by the abundant untapped spectrum. However, advanced modulation formats beyond 64-QAM remain largely unexplored, as phase errors introduced during up/down-conversion severely limit system performance. Particularly, OFDM transmission is highly susceptible to aggravated ICI induced by phase noise, undermining the orthogonality of subcarriers. While PLLs and pilot-assisted compensation can…

Joint Frequency-Space Sparse Reconstruction for DOA Estimation under Coherent Sources and Amplitude-Phase Errors
In this letter, we propose a joint frequency-space sparse reconstruction method for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation, which effectively addresses the issues arising from the existence of coherent sources and array amplitude-phase errors. Specifically, by using an auxiliary source with known angles, we first construct the real steering vectors (RSVs) based on the spectral peaks of received signals in the frequency domain, which serve as a complete basis matrix for compensation for amplitude…

Fast Regularized 3D Near-Field MIMO Imaging Using Stochastic Proximal Gradient Method
Near-field multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar imaging suffers from high computational load inherently due to irregular spatial sampling with distributed antennas. Existing acceleration methods for near-field MIMO imaging typically rely on interpolation or compensation of measurements and are primarily developed for direct reconstruction. This hinders their ease of adoption for different MIMO geometries and requires further modification for regularized inversion. In this study, we addre…

HJB-based online safety-embedded critic learning for uncertain systems with self-triggered mechanism
This paper presents a learning-based optimal control framework for safety-critical systems with parametric uncertainties, addressing both time-triggered and self-triggered controller implementations. First, we develop a robust control barrier function (RCBF) incorporating Lyapunov-based compensation terms to rigorously guarantee safety despite parametric uncertainties. Building on this safety guarantee, we formulate the constrained optimal control problem as the minimization of a novel safety-e…
