FEM Based Stochastic Analysis of Tolerance in Electromagnetic Periodic Structures
Solution of Maxwell's equations is required to model and analyse electromagnetic behaviour of circuits, components and systems. These equations being partial differ finial equations of vector field quantities with spatial ... -
Wideband Rate Adaptation and Scheduling in OFDM Cellular Systems : Modeling, Analysis, and Base Station Side Estimation
Current and next generation wireless cellular systems strive to maximize spectral efficiency and meet the increasing demand for higher data rates despite being severely constrained by the limited availability of spectrum. ... -
Optimal Routing and Data Transmission for Multi-Hop D2D Communications
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication, which enables direct link communication between nodes without going through the infrastructure, has received considerable attention in recent years, particularly in the context of ... -
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 ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
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, ... -
Performance Analysis of Space Shift Keying in Cooperative Relaying Systems
Spatial modulation (SM) is a relatively new and attractive modulation technique for multi-antenna wireless systems. In SM, only one among ns = 2m available transmit antennas, chosen on the basis of m information bits, is ... -
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, ... -
Sparse Bayesian Learning For Joint Channel Estimation Data Detection In OFDM Systems
(2018-08-30)Bayesian approaches for sparse signal recovery have enjoyed a long-standing history in signal processing and machine learning literature. Among the Bayesian techniques, the expectation maximization based Sparse Bayesian ... -
Resource Allocation in Femtocells via Game Theory
(2018-08-14)Most of the cellular tra c (voice and data) is generated indoors. Due to attenuation from walls, quality of service (QoS) of di erent applications degrades for indoor tra c. Thus in order to provide QoS for such users the ... -
Efficient Transceiver Techniques for Massive MIMO and Large-Scale GSM-MIMO Systems
(2018-08-13)Multi-antenna wireless communication systems that employ a large number of antennas have recently stirred a lot of research interest. This is mainly due to the possibility of achieving very high spectral efficiency, power ... -
