  • Interconnection Networks Based on Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi Integers

    Creator:
    Shamaei, Arash
    Abstract:
    Quotient rings of Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi(EJ) integers can be deployed to construct interconnection networks with good topological properties. In this thesis, we propose deadlock-free deterministic and partially adaptive routing algo­rithms for hexagonal networks, one special class of EJ networks. Then we discuss higher dimensional Gaussian networks as an alternative to...

  • Some communication algorithms for Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi networks

    Creator:
    Albader, Bader
    Abstract:
    Interconnection networks play important roles in designing high performance computers. Recently two new classes of interconnection networks based on the concept of Gaussian and Eisenstein-Jacobi integers were introduced. In this research, efficient routing and broadcasting algorithms for these networks are developed. Furthermore, constructing edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in Gaussian networks...

  • Diversity combining ARQ over the m(> 2)-ary unidirectional channel

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    In diversity combining automatic repeat request (ARQ), erroneous packets are combined together forming a single, more reliable, packet. In this thesis, we give a diversity combining scheme for the m-ary unidirectional channel. A system using the given scheme with a t-unidirectional error detecting code is able to correct up to...

  • Gray codes and their applications

    Creator:
    Anantha, Madhusudhanan
    Abstract:
    An n-bit Gray code is an ordered set of all 2n binary strings of length n. The special property of this listing is that Hamming distance between consecutive vectors is exactly 1. If the last and first codeword also have a Hamming distance 1 then the code is said to...

  • Limited magnitude error control codes

    Creator:
    Elarief, Noha
    Abstract:
    A relatively new model of error control is the limited magnitude error over high radix channels. In this error model, the error magnitude does not exceed a certain limit known beforehand. In this dissertation, we study systematic error control codes for common channels under the assumption that the maximum error...

  • How do Programmers Forage through Variants? Modeling Hierarchical Foraging and Changelogs

    Creator:
    Pandya, Bhargav Chandravadan
    Abstract:
    Complex information environments are often organized as hierarchies. However, computational models of Information Foraging Theory (IFT) have almost entirely ignored this fact. Models and tools for predicting programmer navigations have ignored people’s foraging behavior across hierarchies —called hierarchical foraging. Without modeling hierarchical foraging, our ability to build tools to support...

  • RF and Millimeter-wave Techniques to Improve Scalability and Efficiency of Digital Beamforming Arrays

    Creator:
    Johnson, Manoj
    Abstract:
    Spectrum overcrowding, ever increasing demand for high data rate and increased mobility requirements are three major challenges 5G-technology is trying to address. In this thesis I start with a RF front-end technique that deals with blocker interference arising from spectrum overcrowding both across frequency bands and within the same frequency...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

  • Variations Foraging

    Creator:
    Srinivasa Ragavan, Sruti
    Abstract:
    Information Foraging Theory (IFT) has successfully explained how people seek information in various domains, in turn, informing the design of several tools and information-intensive environments. However, prior research has not explored foraging in the presence of several, very similar variants of the same artifact. Such variants are commonplace in several...

  • A base control Doherty power amplifier design for improved efficiency in GSM handsets

    Creator:
    Ferwalt, Darren W.
    Abstract:
    In cellular telephones, RF power amplifiers consume a significant part of the total phone current. Reducing the average PA current will extend battery life. In GSM systems the handset is commanded by the base station to transmit at power levels lower than full power much of the time. A Doherty...
