Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks for Secure Transmission and Utility Maximization
(2018-02-16)
Resource allocation in wireless networks is one of the most studied class of problems. Generally, these problems are formulated as utility maximization problems under relevant constraints. The challenges posed by these ...
Wireless and Social Networks : Some Challenges and Insights
(2018-02-07)
Wireless networks have potential applications in wireless Internet connectivity, battlefields, disaster relief, and cyber-physical systems. While the nodes in these networks communicate with each other over the air, the ...
Linear Network Coding For Wireline And Wireless Networks
(2010-02-10)
Network Coding is a technique which looks beyond traditional store-and-forward approach followed by routers and switches in communication networks, and as an extension introduces maps termed as ‘local encoding kernels’ and ...
Timer-Based Selection Schemes for Wireless Networks
(2018-04-05)
Opportunistic selection is a practically appealing technique that is often used in multi-node wireless systems such as scheduling and rate adaptation in cellular systems and opportunistic wireless local area networks, ...
Analysis and Optimization of Cooperative Amplify-and-Forward Relaying with Imperfect Channel Estimates
(2018-03-17)
Relay-based cooperation promises significant gains in a wireless network as it provides an inde-pendent path between a source and a destination. Using simple single antenna nodes, it exploits the spatial diversity provided ...
Packet Scheduling on the Wireless Channel
(2017-12-07)
Scheduling has always been an indispensable part of resource allocation in wireless networks. Accurate information about channel-state is assumed as a modeling simplification. However, in a real-life network ,e.g., Long ...
Interference Modeling in Wireless Networks
(2017-10-26)
Cognitive radio (CR) networks and heterogeneous cellular networks are promising approaches to satisfy the demand for higher data rates and better connectivity. A CR network increases the utilization of the radio spectrum ...
A Low-Complexity Algorithm For Intrusion Detection In A PIR-Based Wireless Sensor Network
(2011-08-25)
This thesis investigates the problem of detecting an intruder in the presence of clutter in a Passive Infra-Red (PIR) based Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). As one of the major objectives in a WSN is to maximize battery life, ...
Topics In Modeling, Analysis And Optimisation Of Wireless Networks
(2010-11-02)
The work in this thesis is concerned with two complementary aspects of wireless networks research; performance analysis and resource optimization. The first part of the thesis focusses on the performance analysis of IEEE ...
A Low-Complexity Intrusion Detection Algorithm For Surveillance Using PIR Sensors In A Wireless Sensor Network
(2011-07-12)
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is a dense network of autonomous devices (or motes) with sensors that cooperatively monitor some physical or environmental conditions. These devices are resource constrained -limited memory, ...
