This thesis is concerned with analytical modeling of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs) that are based on IEEE 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF). Such networks are popularly known as WiFi networks. We have ...

In the world of high mobility, there is a growing need for people to communicate with each other and have timely access to information regardless of the location of the individuals or the information. This need is supported ...

This thesis addresses the design of low-complexity coding schemes for wireless relay networks and multiple access channels. The first part of the thesis is on wireless relay networks and the second part is on multiple ...

Compressed Sensing (CS) is a new paradigm in signal processing which exploits the sparse or compressible nature of the signal to significantly reduce the number of measurements, without compromising on the signal reconstruction ...

The radio frequency (RF) spectrum as a natural resource is severely under-utilized over time and space due to an inefficient licensing framework. As a result, in-creasing cellular and wireless network usage is placing ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) has ushered in an age where low-power sensors generate data which are communicated to a back-end cloud for massive data computation tasks. From the hardware perspective this implies co-existence ...
