  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

  • Application of WiMAX to aviation communications

    Creator:
    Kim, Sang Jun
    Abstract:
    The US military is evaluating the capabilities of emerging technologies based on IEEE 802.16 standard as a potential commercial off-the-shelf solution to support the communication requirements of the future war. In the last few years, development in military and telecommunication industries have focused on an intensive use of broadband systems,...

  • Fast data replenishment in peer to peer networks

    Creator:
    Dhamodaran, Arul Nambi
    Abstract:
    Peer-to-Peer (P2P) based distributed storage systems have gain much popularity in recent years. These systems rely greatly on the data redundancy to be robust under network dynamics, i.e., the dynamics of peer entering and departing the network. Hence, it is important to implement mechanisms for maintaining a certain level of...

  • Growing digital circuits : logic synthesis and minimization with genetic operators

    Creator:
    Dill, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    This research applies the biologically inspired, artificial evolutionary processes of Genetic Algorithms and Genetic Programming to digital hardware circuit synthesis and minimization. In this new application, three approaches are taken to genetic hardware development. First, as a method for logic synthesis, Genetic Programming is applied to the building of logic...

  • Coding Techniques for Achieving Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks

    Creator:
    Qassim, Yousef M.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, we explored multiple coding techniques to reduce energy consumption, improve performance, and secure wireless sensor networks specifically and ad-hoc networks in general. With the introduction of Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies, wireless sensor networks are quickly emerging as an important and key technology in the...

  • Performance monitoring of parallel applications at large grain level

    Creator:
    Yadav, Anil Kumar
    Abstract:
    This thesis is an attempt to create a methodology to analyze the performance of parallel applications on a wide variety of platforms and programming environments. First we determined the monitoring functions required to collect traces for accurate representation of the parallel application. We used the Extended Large Grain Data Flow...

  • Network coding for sensor networks, distributed storage and video streaming

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Kien Trung
    Abstract:
    The classical store-and-forward routing has and will continue to be the most important routing architecture in many modern packet-switched communication networks. In a packet-switched network, data is sent in the form of discrete packets that traverse hop-by-hop from a source to a destination. At each intermediate hop, the router stores...

    Creator:
    Abuhadra, Ragda
    Abstract:
    Mobile video streaming has become an essential application in mobile wireless networks,making up most of the mobile data of today’s Internet traffic. Studies have shown that mobile video data is projected to make up about 78 percent of the global mobile data traffic, and that global mobile data traffic is...

  • Deletions and Insertions of the Symbol 0 and Asymmetric/Unidirectional Error Control Codes for the L₁ Metric

    Creator:
    Alqwaifly, Nawaf
    Abstract:
    This work gives some theory and efficient design of binary block codes capable of controlling the deletions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-deletions) and/or the insertions of the symbol “0” (referred to as 0-insertions). This problem of controlling 0-deletions and/or 0-insertions (referred to as symmetric 0-errors) is shown...
