Adjacent Independent Row (Air) Matrices and Index Coding
An index coding problem, comprises a transmitter that has a set of independent messages and a set of receivers. Each receiver knows a subset of messages, called its side-information, and demands another subset of messages, ... -
Bayesian Techniques for Joint Sparse Signal Recovery: Theory and Algorithms
This thesis contributes new theoretical results, solution concepts, and algorithms concerning the Bayesian recovery of multiple joint sparse vectors from noisy and underdetermined linear measurements. The thesis is written ... -
Blocker-tolerant Receiver Design Suitable for Software-defined and Cognitive Radio Applications
The ever growing demand for higher data rates and the heavy usage of wireless communication devices have created frequency congestion on certain bands of the radio spectrum. The push has been towards new standards that can ... -
Compositionality of Object Representations in Brains and Machines
Compositionality in object vision can be defined as the principles governing the relationship between whole objects and their constituent attributes. It is known that object information falling on the retina is processed ... -
Correlation-aware Splitting Algorithms for Opportunistic Selection
Opportunistic selection is a key technique to improve the performance of wireless systems. In it, the best set of users among the available ones is selected on the basis of their instantaneous channel gains or local ... -
Design and Analysis of Integrated Optic Waveguide Grating for Sensor and Communication Applications
Waveguide gratings are widely being used for multitude of applications owing to high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, multiplexing capabilities, light weight and compactness. Waveguide gratings on ... -
Design of Authentication and Privacy Schemes for a Generic Social Network
In social networks, people (also known as actors) are often connected to each other in order to share the information. With the advancement in the information technology, social networks have in influenced actors of ... -
Design of broad-band backend compatible photonic devices and vertical inter-layer couplers
Optical interconnects are regarded as efficient replacements for conventional electrical wiring for realizing large data capacity, high-speed transmission and Silicon-based integrated photonics is the best candidate for ... -
Design of Communication Systems with Energy Harvesting Transmitters and Receivers
An energy harvesting node (EHN) operates using the energy harvested from the environment, e.g., solar, piezoelectric and radio frequency, which presents the tantalizing possibility of perpetually operating of sensor nodes. ... -
Design of Privacy Protection Schemes for Mobile Adhoc Networks using Rough Set Theory
MANET is a self-con guring, decentralized and infrastructure-less mobile wireless network, where autonomous mobile nodes (such as laptops, smartphones, sensors, etc.) communicate over the wireless channels. Thus, MANETs ... -
Design, Development, Deployment and Performance Evaluation of Pyroelectric Infra-Red and Optical Camera based Intrusion Detection Systems in an Outdoor Setting
The primary contribution of this thesis is the comprehensive design, development, and deployment of a pyroElectric, InfraRed-sensor-based IntruSion classification (EIRIS) platform, along with attendant detection and ... -
Designing Solutions to Counter the Attacks in Mobile Ad hoc Networks
The open medium, dynamic topology and distributed operation in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) leads to high risks. Many solutions are proposed to protect a MANET from attacks, ranging from attack identification to ... -
Differential Encoding for Real-Time Status Updates
We consider the problem of status updates of a physical process over an unreliable channel. In this setting, one may not be able to reliably transmit the current state at all times. Instead, one is interested in the ... -
Erasure Codes for Distributed Storage: Tight Bounds and Matching Constructions
The reliable storage of Big Data across a spatially distributed network of nodes, calls for erasure-correcting codes that in addition to protecting against data loss, can also efficiently handle node repair. The need for ... -
Index Coding, Error Correcting Index Codes And Matroids
In the problem of index coding, there is a central source sending messages to a set of receivers which demand messages over a noiseless broadcast channel. Each receiver knows a subset of messages which is referred to as ... -
Information-rich Sampling of Time-varying Signals
Confrontation with signal non-stationarity is a rule rather than an exception in the analysis of natural signals, such as speech, animal vocalization, music, bio-medical, atmospheric, ans seismic signals. Interestingly, ... -
Integrated Optical Double Ring Resonators with MEMS for Pressure and Acceleration Sensing
Silicon Photonics has become a signi ficant area of research in last three decades because of its high speed operation, low power consumption and the most important feature, resistant to electro-magnetic interferences. ... -
On Reduced-State Optimal Scheduling for Decentralized Medium Access Control of Wireless Data Collection Networks
In the Internet of Things (IoT), devices such as sensors and actuators will almost invariably be connected to the Internet via wireless networks. The sensor and actuator devices in such systems will be resource challenged ... -
On Some Questions Involving Prefix Codes
Let A be a finite alphabet and A be the set of all finite sequences of the elements of A. A word is any member of A . A prefix code X is a set of words satisfying the prefix property, i.e., no word in the set is a prefix ... -
Optimal Relay Selection in Interference-Constrained Underlay Cooperative Cognitive Radio
Cognitive radio (CR) promises to significantly improve the utilization of scarce wireless spectrum. In the underlay mode of CR, which is the focus of the thesis, a secondary user (SU) can simultaneously transmit on the ...
