We assume that N p ≥ L so that the channel can be perfectly estimated if there is no noise, and we denote the index of pilot symbols as.
Let us denote the index of pilot symbols as K p = { k 1, …, k N P } and index of the SU data carrying subcarriers as K d, that is, K d ⊆ K ∖ K p where ∖ denotes set difference.
Scaling up of weather index insurance pilot projects is particularly constrained by high-basis risk, related to the divergence between the calculated weather index and actual productivity loss on the farm.
The FA index was pilot tested in an additional cohort (n = 391) recruited in 2007/2008 [ 24] and clinically validated by comprehensive assessment [ 30].
Therefore we have to find proper indices for pilot allocation, using efficient search methods.
We provide insights based on a review of literature, including case examples of weather index insurance pilots in Africa (particularly Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi).
A recent review of the Financial Sector Deepening FSDD) supported by several donors in Kenya provided important lessons and recommendations based on the performance of weather index insurance pilots in the country (FSD 2014).
After developing a working definition of 'peace' and delineating a Peace Evaluation Across Cultures and Environments (PEACE) scale with seven constructs comprised of 71 items, a beta version of the index was pilot-tested.
Let i lk ∈{1,…,B} denote the index of the pilot sequence used by user k in cell l, which implies that the user sends the pilot sequence (mathbf {v}_{i_{lk}}) (i.e., the i lk th column of V).
Here we propose a greedy method to find suitable pilot index set.
m is an auxiliary variable representing the discrete frequency index from the pilot index range Γ available for the OFDM symbol in question and specified for each DRM Mode distinctly.
