  • End-to-end network throughput enhancement through physical-layer network coding

    Creator:
    Maeouf, Sofean Ahmed
    Abstract:
    Physical-Layer Network Coding (PNC) is a promising technique that has great potentials for improving the achievable data rates of end-to-end flows through higher packet transmission rates, thereby increasing the overall network throughput. In this thesis, we study the performance of the PNC transmission techniques for unidirectional end-to-end flows in multi-hop...

  • Malicious-proof and fair credit-based resource allocation techniques for DSA systems

    Creator:
    AlShammari, Tamara
    Abstract:
    In this paper, we propose a credit-based resource allocation technique for dynamic spectrum access (DSA) systems that is robust against malicious and selfi sh behaviors and ensures good overall system fairness performance while also allowing spectrum users to achieve high amounts of service. We also propose a new objective function...

  • Leveraging Compressive Sampling and Machine Learning for Adaptive and Cooperative Wideband Spectrum Sensing

    Creator:
    Zaid, Adem
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique that exploits spectrum occupancy behaviors inherent to wideband spectrum access to enable efficient cooperative spectrum sensing. The proposed technique reduces the number of required sensing measurements while accurately recovering spectrum occupancy information. It does so by leveraging compressive sampling theory to exploit the block-like...

  • iMAC : improved medium access control for multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks

    Creator:
    Maiya, Megha
    Abstract:
    Trends in wireless networks are increasingly pointing towards a future with multi-hop networks deployed in multi-channel environments. In this thesis, we present the design for iMAC—a protocol targeted at medium access control in such environments. iMAC uses control packets on a common control channel to faciliate a three-way handshake between...

  • Energy-Aware Gossip Techniques for Wireless Broadcasting

    Creator:
    Li, Tingzhi
    Abstract:
    The current state of research on gossip techniques for wireless broadcasting is very limited because past research efforts have mostly focused on using gossip techniques for multicast communication. On the other hand, those research efforts that have focused on using gossip techniques for wireless broadcast communications ignore energy efficiency and...

  • Coordinating secondary-user behaviors for inelastic traffic reward maximization in large-scale DSA networks

    Creator:
    NoroozOliaee, MohammadJavad
    Abstract:
    We develop efficient coordination techniques that support inelastic traffic in large-scale distributed dynamic spectrum access DSA networks. By means of any learning algorithm, the proposed techniques enable DSA users to locate and exploit spectrum opportunities effectively, thereby increasing their achieved throughput (or "rewards" to be more general). Basically, learning algorithms...

  • Delay Performance Evaluation of the IEC 61850 Standard in Power Transmission Substations

    Creator:
    Safdar, Salman
    Abstract:
    Substations are a crucial element at the transmission and distribution level of electric power systems. The primary substation equipment (power transformers and high voltage switching equipment) is used to transfer and transform electric energy by stepping up or down the voltage in transmission substations. Secondary equipment (such as IEDs, Intelligent...

    Zaid, Adem Mabruk
    Abstract:
    This thesis studies cooperative techniques that rely on femtocell user diversity to improve the downlink communication quality of macrocell users. We analytically analyze and evaluate the achievable performance of these techniques in the downlink of Rayleigh fading channels. We provide an approximation of both the bit-error rate (BER) and the...
