  • Diversity and Activity of Microbial Extracellular Peptidases in Soil

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Trang T. H.
    Abstract:
    Soil nitrogen exists largely as organic matter, including plant liter, dead animal matter, and microbial necromass. About 90% of soil organic nitrogen is proteinaceous material that is too large for plants and microorganisms to assimilate directly. Protein depolymerization therefore plays a critical role in mobilizing this organic source of nitrogen,...

  • Location Assisted Coding (LAC)

    Creator:
    Nguyen, Thuan
    Abstract:
    The recent increase in the number of wireless devices has been driven by the growing markets of smart homes and the Internet of Things (IoT). Consequently, current research has focused on efficient utilization of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum to accommodate such an increase in wireless bandwidth. Alternatively, latest free-space...

  • 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...

  • Fast queuing policies via convex relaxation

    Creator:
    Nguyen-Huu, Duong
    Abstract:
    Traditionally, networking protocol designs have placed much emphasis on point-to-point reliability and efficiency. With the recent rise of mobile and multimedia applications, other considerations such as power consumption and/or Quality of Service (QoS) are becoming increasingly important factors in designing network protocols. As such, we present a new flexible framework...

  • People Counting System Using MmWave MIMO Radar with 3D Convolutional Neural Network

    Creator:
    Shih, Cheng-Che
    Abstract:
    Recent advances in computing, communication, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have made our world more interconnected and data-rich than ever with the proliferation of smart devices and sensors. As a result, we are increasingly dependent on electronic devices and sensors to automate away life’s mundane parts. For example, in business...

  • An adiabatic approach to analysis of time inhomogeneous Markov chains : a queueing policy application

    Creator:
    Zacharias, Leena
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, convergence of time inhomogeneous Markov chains is studied using an adiabatic approach. The adiabatic framework considers slowly changing systems and the adiabatic time quantifies the time required for the change such that the final state of the system is close to some equilibrium state. This approach is...

  • Kalman Filter Tracking for an FSO Communication System based on Dynamic Beam Steering and Shaping

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Luc F.
    Abstract:
    We present a theoretical free-space optical (FSO) transmitter that utilizes a dynamically steered and shaped laser beam to communicate with a randomly moving receiver adorned with a retroreflector. The transmitter tracks the receiver's position by repeatedly scanning the field of view (FOV), measuring reflections from the retroreflector, and estimating the...

  • Optimal load and resource balance in internet distributed systems

    Creator:
    Nishida, Hiroshi
    Abstract:
    A distributed system is a network of multiple autonomous computational nodes designed primarily for performance scalability and robustness. The performance of a distributed system depends critically on how tasks and resources are distributed among the nodes. Thus, a main thrust in distributed system research is to design schemes for distributing...

  • Multi-channel Stochastic Resource Allocation and Dynamic Access Scheduling

    Creator:
    Wang, Qiwei
    Abstract:
    Modern communication systems often have the ability to transmit signals on multiple communication mediums (e.g., RF, visible light) or interfaces (e.g., MAC layer protocols) at the same time. While each channel has different characteristics, a centralized controller with channel condition information will be able to schedule the resource allocated to...

  • 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...
