  • Threshold Selection Based on the SNR in Time of Arrival Localization System

    Creator:
    Lyu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Threshold-based time of arrival (TOA) estimation is a technique for high-precision indoor localization. Existing threshold selection methods, such as xed thresh- old and normalized threshold methods, do not consider the signal-to-noise radio (SNR) value at the receiver. This is not desired for high-precision positioning. A proper threshold value depends on...

  • Indoor Localization Using Direction of Arrival Approach

    Creator:
    Zhang, Tingwei
    Abstract:
    In this paper, a Direction of Arrival (DOA) based system is proposed. This method searches the direction relative to the array to find where the signal source is located. The proposed system can achieve sub-meter level accuracy with a near real-time update rate. Also, we introduced several refinement methods including...

  • PAPR Reduction of Optical OFDM Systems with Exponential Companding Transform and Zero Padding

    Creator:
    Chen, Deyan
    Abstract:
    Optical wireless communication (OWC) is an alternative to radio frequency (RF)communication with a signi cantly larger and unregulated spectrum. In OWC systems, optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (O-OFDM) with intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) is commonly used. There are two common signal structures in most OWC systems based on...

  • 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...

  • Environment-adaptive RF Sensing with Transferable ANN Features

    Creator:
    Wang, Guangxin
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) sensing arises as a promising option for enabling the internet of things (IoT) applications that transform our life into a world of smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries. The innovation of IoT reveals the benefits of RF sensing across cost, pervasiveness, unobtrusiveness, and privacy. However, challenges...

  • An Anthology of Next-Generation WSNs and Transformative IoT Use-Cases

    Creator:
    Williams, Jennifer M.
    Abstract:
    The Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm brought an ever-increasing dependence on low-power devices to collect sensor data and transmit that information to the cloud, placing greater demand on connectivity and lifespan. In response, rapid worldwide innovation demonstrates the trade-offs in processing, communication, and energy consumption with diverse approaches to low-power...

  • 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...

  • Ultra-Wideband Relay Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Abbasi, Arash
    Abstract:
    Impulse-radio ultra-wide-band (IR-UWB) signaling is a promising technique for high-speed, short-range relay communications networks. Depending on how the relay node retransmits the signal, there are two main relay schemes: conventional one-directional (one-way) relay model, and bi-directional (two-way) relay model. In bi-directional relay communications, wireless network coding (WNC), also called physical-layer...

  • Multi-antenna OFDM systems in the presence of phase noise and doubly-selective fading

    Creator:
    Zhang, Yu
    Abstract:
    Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), which has been very attractive for future high rate wireless communications, is very robust to channel multipath fading effect while providing high transmission data rate with high spectral efficiency. Multiple antennas can be combined with OFDM to increase diversity gain and to improve spectral efficiency...
