  • Publication number: 20230204786
    Abstract: The invention is a method for determining wind speed components by using a placed LiDAR sensor (1). For this method, the wind speed components are first approximated by using the signals from the LiDAR sensor (1). These approximations are used in a wind signal model, and then used in a non-stationary Kalman filter (KAL), to construct filtered measurement signals. The filtered measurement signals are then used to reconstruct (REC) the wind speed components.

    Abstract: A method and a device for matching a quantization table of data representative of a radio signal received by a radio antenna of a mobile network. The method includes: obtaining an item of information representative of a channel decoding error rate of a decoded quantized demodulated signal from a demodulation of the radio signal received by the antenna, the demodulated radio signal having been quantized by the quantization table, and the quantized demodulated radio signal having undergone a channel decoding; matching the quantization table when the channel decoding error rate is higher than a determined threshold; and transmitting an item of information representative of the matching of the quantization table to a channel decoding device or to a demodulation device.
