  • Flexible dual TCP/UDP streaming for H.264 HD video over WLANs

    Creator:
    Zhao, Jing
    Abstract:
    High Definition video streaming over WLANs faces many challenges because video data requires not only data integrity but also frames have strict playout deadline. Traditional streaming methods that rely solely on either UDP or TCP have difficulties meeting both requirements because UDP incurs packet loss while TCP incurs delay. This...

  • Efficient multiuser cooperative relay communications employing layered modulations

    Creator:
    Whang, Roderick Jaehoon
    Abstract:
    Relay-assisted cooperative communications are promising solutions for error-performance improvement and cell coverage extension. In this thesis, we propose several efficient cooperative relay communication schemes. First, an efficient space-time coded cooperative relay communications scheme that employs linear precoding and transmission-pattern selection is proposed. This is built upon an existing block linear...

  • Ultra low voltage DRAM current sense amplifier with body bias techniques

    Creator:
    Gang, Yung-jin, 1957-
    Abstract:
    The major limiting factor of DRAM access time is the low transconductance of the MOSFET's which have only limited current drive capability. The bipolar junction transistor(BJT) has a collector current amplification factor, β, times base current and is limited mostly by the willingness to supply this base current. This collector...

  • Characterization of coupled microstrip structure using FDTD

    Creator:
    Kim, Yoonsuk
    Abstract:
    A new CAD-oriented methodology for the full-wave broadband characterization of coupled microstrip structures for RF/microwave and high-speed digital circuits is presented. The characterization methodology is based on the finite difference time domain (FDTD) technique combined with a systematic extraction procedure using the normal mode approach and multiport network concepts. The...
