  • Target-based coverage extension of 802.11 MANETs via constrained UAV mobility

    Creator:
    Johnson, Taylor N.
    Abstract:
    MANETs are known to be useful in situations where mobile nodes need to communicate and coordinate in dynamic environments with no access to fixed network infrastructure. However, connectivity problems can occur when sub-groups within a MANET move out of communication range from one another. The increasingly prolific use of UAVs...

  • Network coding in relay networks

    Creator:
    Alban, Eduardo
    Abstract:
    Transmission over wireless networks presents multiple technical challenges due to noise, interference, fading, power constraints and bandwidth limitation. Different solutions have been propposed to overcome these issues and some of them are treated here. Cooperative diversity has been proposed as an implementation for networks where terminals are restricted to using...

  • Advanced separation of concerns and the compatibility of aspect-orientation

    Creator:
    Dechow, Doug
    Abstract:
    The appropriate separation of concerns is a fundamental engineering principle. A concern, for software developers, is that which must be represented by code in a program; by extension, separation of concerns is the ability to represent a single concern in a single appropriate programming language construct. Advanced separation of concerns...

  • Mobility Protocol, Channel Estimation and Modulation Techniques for Hybrid WiFi-FSO (WiFO) WLAN of Femtocells

    Creator:
    Chu, Yu-Jung
    Abstract:
    As the price of broadband access service becomes more affordable, the number of homes with WiFi and public WiFi hotspots in the US are projected to increase significantly in the next few years. However, limited capacity of existing WiFi networks fail to provide adequate bandwidth for densely populated areas. Therefore,...

  • Design and Analysis of Distributed Resource Allocation Techniques for Large-Scale Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks

    Creator:
    NoroozOliaee, MohammadJavad
    Abstract:
    The widespread use of wireless devices that we have recently been witnessing, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and wirelessly accessible devices in general, is causing an unprecedented growth in the required amount of the wireless radio spectrum. On the other hand, the spectrum resource has, for the last several decades,...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...

  • Design and implementation of Surface Irrigation Soil Loss (SISL) and Soil Condition Index (SCI), (SISL-SCI) database

    Creator:
    Nkansah, Alexander K.
    Abstract:
    The Soil Conditioning Index (SCI) aids the conservationist in designing crop rotations and residue management practices when low organic matter, poor soil tilt, and crusting problems are identified. The Natural Resources and Conservation Services (NRCS) field staff and others use the SCI as a qualitative tool during conservation planning. In...

  • Protocol design and optimization for wireless networks

    Creator:
    Lertsutthiwong, Monchai
    Abstract:
    We investigate a number of techniques for increasing throughput and quality of media applications over wireless networks. A typical media communication application such as video streaming imposes strict requirements on the delay and throughout of its packets, which unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed by the underlying wireless network due inherently to...

  • Implementation and performance analysis of a scalable routing protocol

    Creator:
    Venkatesan, Rudhrakumar
    Abstract:
    Ad Hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks consisting of mobile hosts. They do not have any pre-existing network infrastructure and are characterized by constantly changing topology, limited battery power and bandwidth. Typical applications of such networks are battlefield networks, medical relief during natural calamities or disasters, conference room networking, and...

  • A study of model-based average reward reinforcement learning

    Creator:
    Ok, DoKyeong
    Abstract:
    Reinforcement Learning (RL) is the study of learning agents that improve their performance from rewards and punishments. Most reinforcement learning methods optimize the discounted total reward received by an agent, while, in many domains, the natural criterion is to optimize the average reward per time step. In this thesis, we...
