Secret Key Generation in the Multiterminal Source Model : Communication and Other Aspects
(2018-07-04)
This dissertation is primarily concerned with the communication required to achieve secret key (SK) capacity in a multiterminal source model. The multiterminal source model introduced by Csiszár and Narayan consists of a ...
Power Scaling Mechanism for Low Power Wireless Receivers
(2018-06-26)
LOW power operation for wireless radio receivers has been gaining importance lately on account of the recent spurt of growth in the usage of ubiquitous embedded mobile devices. These devices are becoming relevant in all ...
Physical Layer Impairments Aware Transparent Wavelength Routed and Flexible-Grid Optical Networks
(2018-06-26)
Optical WDM network is the suitable transport mechanism for ever increasing bandwidth intensive internet applications. The WDM technique transmits the data over several different wavelengths simultaneously through an ...
Robust Nonparametric Sequential Distributed Spectrum Sensing under EMI and Fading
(2018-07-16)
Opportunistic use of unused spectrum could efficiently be carried out using the paradigm
of Cognitive Radio (CR). A spectrum remains idle when the primary user (licensee) is
not using it. The secondary nodes detect this ...
On Codes for Private Information Retrieval and Ceph Implementation of a High-Rate Regenerating Code
(2018-07-09)
Error-control codes, which are being extensively used in communication systems, have found themselves very useful in data storage as well during the past decade. This thesis deals with two types of codes for data storage, ...
NoC Design & Optimization of Multicore Media Processors
(2018-03-22)
Network on Chips[1][2][3][4] are critical elements of modern System on Chip(SoC) as well as Chip Multiprocessor(CMP)designs. Network on Chips (NoCs) help manage high complexity of designing large chips by decoupling ...
