  • Understanding the ultra-wideband channel within a computer chassis

    Creator:
    Redfield, Stephen J.
    Abstract:
    Recent developments in computing technology have generated a demand for more streamlined and effective test systems. By replacing traditional in-chassis wired interconnects with a broadcast wireless system, fault detection and error susceptibility will drastically improve, input/output capabilities will expand, and routing complexity will decrease. Ultra-wideband impulse radio's (UWB-IR) characteristic multipath-immunity...

  • Design and Analysis of Free-space Optical Communications Systems for Next Generation Short-range Wireless Networks

    Creator:
    Liverman, Spencer
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on indoor free-space optical communications systems for use in short range wireless networks. We propose that current radio frequency wireless links be augmented or replaced with optical frequency links due to overcrowding in the radio frequency spectrum. Optical frequencies contain hundreds of terahertz of unregulated bandwidth and...

  • Feedback in multiple antenna wireless communication systems

    Creator:
    Xu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the receiver, the performance can be further improved. In this thesis, first, we study binary index feedback problem in beamforming systems when the...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Network Coding, Random Matrices, and Their Applications to Communication Systems

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    In this work, we study network coding technique, its relation to random matrices, and their applications to communication systems. The dissertation consists of three main contributions. First, we propose efficient algorithms for data synchronization via a broadcast channel using random network coding. Second, we study the resiliency of network coding...

  • Leveraging Compressive Sampling and Machine Learning for Adaptive and Cooperative Wideband Spectrum Sensing

    Creator:
    Zaid, Adem
    Abstract:
    This thesis proposes a novel technique that exploits spectrum occupancy behaviors inherent to wideband spectrum access to enable efficient cooperative spectrum sensing. The proposed technique reduces the number of required sensing measurements while accurately recovering spectrum occupancy information. It does so by leveraging compressive sampling theory to exploit the block-like...

    Creator:
    Bahniuk, Eileen Kei
    Abstract:
    Powerline communication (PLC), is becoming a more commonplace method for data transmission, however it is still a very new medium for data transmission, and international standards for powerline communication are still in the process of being developed and established. PLC can provide a means of simplifying the device connectivity to...
