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,...
The application of information theory and digital signal processing techniques to digital
communication has resulted in robust methods for reliable high speed data transmission
over noisy channels environments. Among these methods, multicarrier systems have
become a viable solution for exploiting maximum spectral efficiency over both wideband
highly dispersive static and...
Rapid advances in wireless networking have led to more mobile phones, PDAs, and other digital mobile devices becoming ubiquitously connected to the Internet. As the demand of delay sensitive real-time applications for these portable devices increases, providing seamless connectivity to wireless networks becomes a critical issue. For this reason, a...
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...
Dynamic DC offset is one of the biggest problems preventing the implementation of single chip receivers. This thesis presents a 2.4GHz downconversion mixer designed to work with adaptive DC offset cancellation for a fully integrated direct conversion receiver. Offset can be removed by dynamically changing the PFET load bias in...
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...
The widespread use of TCP as a transport layer protocol for mobile ad-hoc networks and wireline networks has motivated the need to make its implementation highly power efficient specially with respect to ad hoc radio networks. Over the past years many researchers have developed energy efficient protocols for mobile ad-hoc...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the professional interaction
and interpersonal communication factors in the management of biomedical
instructional development projects which involved the use of electronic media.
Reference is made, repeatedly, in instructional development literature to
the need to include interpersonal communication skills in the education and...
The increased use of mobile wireless devices that we have recently been witnessing, such as smartphones, tablets, e-readers, and WiFi enabled devices in general, is driving an unprecedented increase in the amount of data traffic. This fast market adoption of the wireless technology along with the tremendous success of multimedia...
