Abstract: A high-energy ignition coil, wherein a primary coil and a secondary coil are both wound around an iron core, these three constituting a transformer. The primary coil loop is provided with a switch controlled by an ECU. The spark plug is connected at one electrode to an end of the secondary coil, and is grounded at the other electrode. An on-board power supply supplies power to the primary coil via a DC booster, which boosts the DC voltage outputted by the on-board power supply before outputting. The other end of the secondary coil is either connected to the DC booster or grounded via a reversely connected diode. A current keeping device is connected in parallel with a serial branch of the secondary coil and the spark plug, working after the spark plug is turned on to keep the spark plug on.

Abstract: A fast device discovery protocol with a high success rate for device-to-device (D2D) communication in LTE-A networks is proposed. With the proposed protocol, device discovery is done by monitoring a randomly transmitted beacon from other devices within a pre-defined period. In one embodiment, an eNB receives scheduling requests from D2D UEs and in response allocates a distributed uplink resource for random access of beacon transmission by the D2D UEs. The distributed resource is dynamically allocated based on the number of requesting D2D UEs, a discovery period, and a target discovery probability to minimize the required resource.
