  • Design Techniques of High-Speed Silicon Photonics Transceiver

    Creator:
    Li, Hao
    Abstract:
    The rapid scaling of network bandwidth and data center throughput has motivated the wide adoption of high speed transceivers. Silicon photonics (Si-Photonic) is one of the most promising techniques to realize tightly integrated optical transceivers for next-generation high speed I O standards. This dissertation focuses on the design techniques of...

  • 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...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • Nanostructured Optical Devices for Biosensing Applications

    Creator:
    Chalishazar, Vishvas
    Abstract:
    We demonstrated a sensitive biosensor based on plasmonic metal composite nanostructures. The device can be fabricated and duplicated with ease using a novel nanoprinting technology which allows precise transfer of metal nanostructures without complicated lithography processes. The design featured by its unique material composition and sub-wavelength structures maximizes the exposure...
