Data Fusion Based Physical Layer Protocols for Cognitive Radio Applications
(2017-09-26)
This thesis proposes and analyzes data fusion algorithms that operate on the physical layer of a wireless sensor network, in the context of three applications of cognitive radios: 1. Cooperative spectrum sensing via binary ...
Modeling, Performance Analysis and Design of Wireless Networks for Embedded Sensing Applications
The general theme of this thesis is modeling, performance analysis, and design of wireless networks under standardized CSMA/CA MAC protocols. In particular, we consider two widely used MAC protocols, namely, IEEE 802.15.4, ...
Role of Power Control in Enhancing the Performance of Opportunistic Selection Schemes
Opportunistic selection reaps the benefits of multiuser diversity in many wireless
applications. For example, it increases throughput of cellular networks, lifetime
of wireless sensor networks, and improves diversity in ...
