Neuronal Dissimilarity Indices that Predict Oddball Detection in Behaviour
(2017-09-23)Our vision is as yet unsurpassed by machines because of the sophisticated representations of objects in our brains. This representation is vastly different from a pixel-based representation used in machine storages. It is ... -
Distributed Algorithms for Power Allocation Games on Gaussian Interference Channels
(2017-09-20)We consider a wireless communication system in which there are N transmitter-receiver pairs and each transmitter wants to communicate with its corresponding receiver. This is modelled as an interference channel. We propose ... -
Low Power And Low Spur Frequency Synthesizer Circuit Techniques For Energy Efficient Wireless Transmitters
(2017-09-07)There has been a huge rise in interest in the design of energy efficient wireless sensor networks (WSN) and body area networks (BAN) with the advent of many new applications over the last few decades. The number of sensor ... -
Fundamentals Limits Of Communication In Interference Limited Environments
(2017-08-21)In multiuser wireless communications, interference not only limits the performance of the system, but also allows users to eavesdrop on other users’ messages. Hence, interference management in multiuser wireless communication ... -
Optimal Amplify-And-Forward Relaying For Cooperative Communications And Underlay Cognitive Radio
(2017-08-21)Relay-assisted cooperative communication exploits spatial diversity to combat wireless fading, and is an appealing technology for next generation wireless systems. Several relay cooperation protocols have been proposed in ... -
Minimization Problems Based On A Parametric Family Of Relative Entropies
(2017-08-21)We study minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies. These relative entropies, which we call relative -entropies (denoted I (P; Q)), arise as redundancies under mismatched ... -
Codes With Locality For Distributed Data Storage
(2017-07-26)This thesis deals with the problem of code design in the setting of distributed storage systems consisting of multiple storage nodes, storing many different data les. A primary goal in such systems is the efficient repair ... -
Spectrum Sensing Techniques For Cognitive Radio Applications
(2017-07-25)Cognitive Radio (CR) has received tremendous research attention over the past decade, both in the academia and industry, as it is envisioned as a promising solution to the problem of spectrum scarcity. ACR is a device that ... -
Coding Schemes For Distributed Subspace Computation, Distributed Storage And Local Correctability
(2017-07-24)In this thesis, three problems have been considered and new coding schemes have been devised for each of them. The first is related to distributed function computation, the second to coding for distributed storage and the ... -
Finding A Subset Of Non-defective Items From A Large Population : Fundamental Limits And Efficient Algorithms
(2017-07-12)Consider a large population containing a small number of defective items. A commonly encountered goal is to identify the defective items, for example, to isolate them. In the classical non-adaptive group testing (NAGT) ... -
On The Best-m Feedback Scheme In OFDM Systems With Correlated Subchannels
(2017-07-07)Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in next generation wireless systems provides high downlink data rates by employing frequency-domain scheduling and rate adaptation at the base station (BS). However, in ... -
Delay Differentiation By Balancing Weighted Queue Lengths
(2017-05-04)Scheduling policies adopted for statistical multiplexing should provide delay differentiation between different traffic classes, where each class represents an aggregate traffic of individual applications having same ... -
Space-Time Block Codes With Low Sphere-Decoding Complexity
(2017-05-04)One of the most popular ways to exploit the advantages of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system is using space time block coding. A space time block code (STBC) is a finite set of complex matrices whose entries ... -
