  • Wirelessly Powered cm-Scale Sensor for Small Insect Localization Application

    Creator:
    Kang, Jian
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications leads to an increasing focus on the design and optimization of sensor nodes. Battery lifetime and associated costs of battery replacement often limits the long term operation and viability of sensor nodes. RF wireless energy harvesting on the other hand can be appealing since...

  • Security protocols for linear network coding

    Creator:
    Adeli, Majid
    Abstract:
    Network coding, as the next generation of data routing protocols, enables each intermediate node in a network to process and encode its received data before forwarding it to the next nodes. Hence, the core idea in network coding is to allow a network to encode the data that is being...

  • Analysis of new protocols for computer communication networks

    Creator:
    Warner, Clifford John
    Abstract:
    An advanced forward 'area tactical radar network, now under conceptual development by the Air Force Electronic Systems Division, can be viewed as a novel form of computer network but with other unique problems resulting from the specialized nature of the application. The proposed network will link together a number of...

  • Optimal communications system design for array-based electric generation

    Creator:
    Orozco, Ricardo
    Abstract:
    The world's demand for energy is an ongoing challenge, which has yet to be overcome. The efforts to find clean energy alternatives to fossil fuels have been hampered by the lack of investment in technology and research. Among these clean energy alternatives are ocean waves and wind. Wind power is...

  • An efficient data transfer protocol for Ethernet

    Creator:
    Hegde, Anoop R.
    Abstract:
    Most general purpose protocols are found to suffer from inefficiency in an Ethernet LAN environment when used for large volume data transfer. This is especially true with the TCP/IP family which was designed for a wide area network. This research work presents a proof of this inefficiency and proposes a...

  • 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...

  • A programmable network interface unit for hybrid meshnet local area networks

    Creator:
    Merchant, Shashank C.
    Abstract:
    A Hybrid Meshnet LAN, a new local area network architecture, has been proposed by Dr. Cheoul-Shin Kang and Dr. James Herzog. It provides for distributed control hybrid architecture which is good for effective load sharing under various local area network environments. Hybrid Meshnet has a dual channel structure, a token...

  • Stretchable architectures for 3rd generation wireless networks

    Creator:
    Lakkavalli, Shashidhar V.
    Abstract:
    Power is a valuable resource. It is invaluable when for mobile devices. Mobile devices, due to their mobility cannot get a continuous source of power and derive their power from a battery contained in them. The main consumer of power in the mobile is its transmitter. With a limited power...

  • Design and Implementation of a Wearable Walking Navigation Assistance System for the Vision Impaired

    Creator:
    Sylwester, Sean T.
    Abstract:
    Few navigation-assistance technologies for vision impaired individuals are practical due to inhibiting factors such as cost, comfort, convenience, and overall usefulness of the assistance. This thesis will present the design and implementation of a navigation assistance system intended to address these concerns. The presented system improves on existing technologies by...

  • Receiver synchronization for UWB TDOA localization

    Creator:
    Baek, Seungjin
    Abstract:
    Pulsed ultra-wideband (UWB) radio uses extremely short pulses to transmit information. Such pulses provide very fine timing information, which has led to technological advances in high-precision localization. This thesis investigates UWB localization strategies with a focus on receiver synchronization algorithms for time-difference-of-arrival localization to achieve centimeter accuracies in a 3-dimensional...
