  • Transmission and Combining for Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request in Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Systems

    Creator:
    Whang, Younghoon
    Abstract:
    Hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) schemes combine packet retransmission with forward error correction to ensure a reliable communications. In multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) systems, interference cancellation (IC) detection is widely used where the detection and cancellation steps of the simultaneously transmitted data streams occur. In principle, the signal stream estimated...

  • Evolutionary Approach to Efficient Provisioning and Self-organization in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN)

    Creator:
    Khanna, Rahul, 1966-
    Abstract:
    Advances in low-power digital integration and microelectro-mechanical systems (MEMS) have paved the way for micro-sensors. These sensors are equipped with data processing capabilities along with sensory circuits. Sensor data are processed on these individual sensors and transmitted to the target (sink). Lowcost integration and small sizes of these sensors have...

  • 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...

  • Linearity enhancement techniques for data converters

    Creator:
    Cao, Jinzhou
    Abstract:
    Data converters are essential interface circuits between the analog world that people live in and the digital processors that people live with. Linearity, which often is a tradeoff against other performance criteria, is one of the major performance demands from applications for both analog-to-digital converts (ADC) and digital-to-analog converters (DAC)....

  • Offloading of I/O transactions in current CPU architectures

    Creator:
    Larsen, Steen K.
    Abstract:
    IO transactions within a computer system have evolved along with other system components (i.e., CPU, memory, video) from programmed IO (PIO). In current mainstream systems (spanning from HPC to mobile) the IO transactions are CPU-centric descriptor-based DMA transactions. The key benefit is that slower IO devices can DMA write system...

  • On edge disjoint Hamiltonian cycles in torus and Gaussian networks

    Creator:
    Alazemi, Fawaz M.
    Abstract:
    Many algorithms in parallel systems can be easily solved if we can generate a Hamiltonian cycle on the underly network. Finding Hamiltonian cycle is a well known NP-complete problem. For specific instances of regular graphs, such as Torus and Gaussian network, one can easily find Hamiltonian cycles. In this thesis,...

  • Position estimation in indoor localization system

    Creator:
    Qiao, Tianzhu
    Abstract:
    Indoor positioning systems can be used for many applications such as indoor navigation,emergence response, asset monitoring, and shopper assistance. Due to the weak received signal and multipath reflection, the global positioning system (GPS) generally does not work in indoor environments. There are a variety of radio frequency (RF) signals and...

  • 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...

  • Decoding channel coded higher-order QAM signals over Gaussian and Rayleigh fading channels

    Creator:
    Yang, Yun
    Abstract:
    In modern digital communication systems, error correction codes (ECC) are widely used and play an important role. The main effect of ECCs is to reduce the transmission error caused by channel noise, thereby protecting data and increasing the quality of information transmission. In addition, high spectral efficiency is desired in...

  • A statistical inference framework for finding recurring patterns in large data with applications to energy management

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of finding unknown patterns that are recurring across multiple sets. For example, finding multiple objects that are present in multiple images or a short DNA code that is repeated across multiple DNA sequences. We first consider a simple problem of finding a single unknown pattern in...
