System design issues in dense urban millimeter wave cellular networks
(2018-06-21)
Upcoming deployments of cellular networks will see an increasing use of millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies, roughly between 20-100 GHz. The goal of this dissertation is to investigate some key design issues in dense urban ...
Validating wireless network simulations using direct execution
(2012-05)
Simulation is a powerful and efficient tool for studying wireless networks. Despite the widespread use of simulation, particularly in the study of IEEE 802.11-style networks (e.g., WLAN, mesh, and ad hoc networks), doubts ...
A survey on using side information in recommendation systems
(2012-05)
This report presents a survey of the state-of-the-art methods for building recommendation systems. The report mainly concentrates on systems that use the available side information in addition to a fraction of known affinity ...
Scheduling on-chip networks
(2009-08)
Networks-on-Chip (NoC) have been proposed to meet many challenges
of modern Systems-on-Chip (SoC) design and manufacturing. At the architectural
level, a clean separation of computation and communication helps
integration ...
Assertion-based repair of complex data structures
(2009-05)
As software systems are growing in complexity and size, reliability becomes a major concern. A large degree of industrial and academic efforts for increasing software reliability are directed towards design, testing and ...
Multiple personality integrated circuits and the cost of programmability
(2011-05)
This dissertation explores the cost of programmability in computing devices as measured relative to fixed-function devices implementing the same functionality using the same physical fabrication technology. The central ...
Inertial solution for accurately assessing location coordinates (ISAAC)
(2010-05)
Accurately determining one’s location has long been a persistent problem in navigation and has reappeared in recent years in the field of mobile computing. The ability to determine a device’s location indoors is needed for ...
In vivo left ventricular volume by catheter : real-time, nonlinear correction method
(2006-05)
In this thesis, a solution is presented for real-time volume measurement of the left ventricle by the admittance catheter technique. New theory is implemented that incorporates information about the complex nature of muscle ...
Parallel and distributed cyber-physical system simulation
(2013-12)
The traditions of real-time and embedded system engineering have evolved into a new field of cyber-physical systems (CPSs). The increase in complexity of CPS components and the multi-domain engineering composition of CPSs ...
Analytical models of single and double gate JFETs for low power applications
(2009-05)
I propose compact models of single-gate (SG) and double-gate (DG) JFETs predicting the current-voltage characteristics for both long and short channel devices. In order to make the current equation continuous through all ...
