  • Computationally efficient block diagonalization for downlink multiuser MIMO-OFDM systems

    Creator:
    El Amrani, Samia
    Abstract:
    One of the key challenges in downlink multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is the mitigation of the multi-access interference when different users share the same subcarriers. In this work, the block diagonalization (BD) algorithm for inter-user interference pre-cancelation is extended to MIMO-OFDM systems. However, in...

  • Ultra-wideband indoor localization systems

    Creator:
    Ye, Ruiqing
    Abstract:
    Indoor localization systems have a variety of applications such as tracking of assets, indoor robot navigation, and monitoring of people (e.g. patients) in hospitals or at home. Global positioning system (GPS) offers location accuracy of several meters and is mainly used for outdoor location-based applications as its accuracy degrades significantly...

  • Pulsed ultra-wideband: transmission, detection, and performance

    Creator:
    Zhao, Shiwei
    Abstract:
    Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication has emerged as a very promising technology for short-range wireless applications, including high-speed multimedia transmissions and sensor networks. UWB system designs involve many different aspects covering analog and digital processing, channel estimation and modeling, and modulation and demodulation. Although UWB still faces many challenges, significant progress has...

  • Security protocols for linear network coding

    Creator:
    Adeli, Majid
    Abstract:
    Network coding, as the next generation of data routing protocols, enables each intermediate node in a network to process and encode its received data before forwarding it to the next nodes. Hence, the core idea in network coding is to allow a network to encode the data that is being...

  • Sensor communication network within a desktop computer using the DC powerline

    Creator:
    Bahniuk, Eileen Kei
    Abstract:
    Powerline communication (PLC), is becoming a more commonplace method for data transmission, however it is still a very new medium for data transmission, and international standards for powerline communication are still in the process of being developed and established. PLC can provide a means of simplifying the device connectivity to...

  • Information-theoretic Approach to Design and Evaluate Privacy-preserving and Fair Frameworks for Continuous High-dimensional Data

    Creator:
    Alsulaimawi, Zahir Ahmed Hussein
    Abstract:
    Deep learning is becoming the latest trend in sensitive applications, such as healthcare, criminal justice, and finance. As these new applications emerge, adversaries are circumventing them. Further, there have been concerns about the possibility of bias and discrimination in predictive applications. In order to address these issues, we propose an...

  • Hybrid AOA and TDOA Solution for Transmitter Positioning

    Creator:
    Ahmed, Sarah A.
    Abstract:
    Accurate positioning has become an active research area in recent years. It has a wide range of applications in many fields such as navigation, asset tracking, health care, proximity marketing/location-based advertising, and sport analytics. Transmitter positioning via radio frequency (RF) signals is the most widely encountered scenario, and it uses...

  • Efficient detection and scheduling for MIMO-OFDM systems

    Creator:
    Liu, Wei
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antennas can be exploited to provide high data rate using a limited bandwidth through multiplexing gain. MIMO combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) could potentially provide high data rate and high spectral efficiency in frequency-selective fading channels. MIMO-OFDM technology has been widely employed in modern communication...

  • Position estimation in indoor localization system

    Creator:
    Qiao, Tianzhu
    Abstract:
    Indoor positioning systems can be used for many applications such as indoor navigation,emergence response, asset monitoring, and shopper assistance. Due to the weak received signal and multipath reflection, the global positioning system (GPS) generally does not work in indoor environments. There are a variety of radio frequency (RF) signals and...
