Autonomous powering of electronic systems in applications spanning biomedical, automation, transportation and space industries relies on harvesting energy from the abundant ambient sources such as vibration, thermal, solar, ...

Low-dimensional systems are an exciting platform for exploring new physics and realizing novel devices. The intriguing features, such as the existence of strongly bound multiparticle complexes and thickness-dependent band ...

Ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC) is a novel use case of 5G. It has challenging requirements like such as low block error rates (BLERs) and stringent latency targets. Multi-connectivity, in which multiple ...

To meet the ever-growing demand for higher data rates in communication networks and higher range and velocity resolutions in automotive radar sensors, fifth-generation (5G) new radio (NR) transceivers and radars used in ...

This thesis presents error correcting codes in the setting of distributed storage. The codes presented in this thesis are optimal with respect to the minimum distance bound and have a finite field size which grows ...

In wideband wireless communication systems, the relative motion of the transmitter, receiver, or scatterers in the medium causes the Doppler effect, which stretches or compresses the transmitted waveforms, resulting in ...

In this thesis, we consider communication systems having energy, delay and reliability constraints. We characterize optimal communication rates achievable over these systems. First we consider point-to-point communication ...

The ubiquitous deployment of battery-operated wireless devices has resulted in the need for efficient low latency power allocation schemes. A common phenomenon in wireless transmission systems is congestion, where the ...

In this work, auditory perception of source widening is examined in the context of different source signal timbre. Perception of widening of source or auditory source width (ASW) arises in three cases: (i) In the presence ...

Opacity is notion of privacy that is well-studied in computer science and discrete-event systems. In our work, we extend the opacity notion to linear dynamical systems. Opacity describes an eavesdropper’s inability to ...
