Abstract:

Monitoring the structural health of civil infrastructures with wireless sensor networks aids in detecting failures early, but faces power challenges in ensuring reasonable network lifetimes. Recharging select nodes with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provides a solution that currently can recharge a single node; however, questions arise on the effectiveness of a limited recharging system, the appropriate node to recharge, and the best sink selection algorithm for improving network lifetime given a limited recharging system. This paper simulates such a network in order to answer those question

Abstract:

As larger System-on-Chip (SoC) designs are attempted on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), the need for a low cost and high performance Network-on-Chip (NoC) grows. Virtual Channel (VC) routers provide desirable traits for an NoC such as higher throughput and deadlock prevention but at significant resource cost when implemented on an FPGA. This thesis presents an FPGA specific optimization to reduce resource utilization. We propose sharing Block RAMs between multiple router ports to store the high logic resource consuming VC buffers and present the Block RAM Split (BRS) router architectur

Abstract:

<p> Wireless communication became popular in the last decades, giving the mobility to the users. However with increased number of users and contention, network efficiency can hardly keep up with user needs. This thesis focuses on a new frequency domain contention technique called FICA. In FICA, the channel is assumed to be using Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) with multiple sub-carriers. We investigated the use of multiple channels and multiple access points (APs) in the design. First we investigated having one channel that is divided into number of sub-carriers, it shows good r

Abstract:

Deviating from the archaic communication approach of treating information as a fluid moving through pipes, the concepts of Network Coding (NC) suggest that optimal throughput of a multi cast network can be achieved by processing information at individual network nodes. However, existing challenges to harness the advantages ofNC concepts for practical applications have prevented the development of NC into an effective solution to increase the performance of practical communication networks. In response, the research work presented in this thesis proposes cross-layer NC solutions to increase the

The dissertation proposed an approach, named â Signal Optimization Under Rail Crossing sAfety cOnstraintsâ (SOURCAO), to the traffic signal control near a highway rail grade crossing (HRGC). SOURCAO targets two objectives: HRGC safety improvement (a high priority national transportation goal) and highway traffic delay reduction (a common desire for virtually all of us). Communication and data availability from ITS and the next generation train control are assumed available in SOURCAO. The first step in SOURCAO is to intelligently choose a proper preemption phase sequence to promote HRGC saf

This data indicated that there were 19 902 completed outages, 5 312 cancelled outages and 1 889 turned down outages in the 5 years.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>This research intends to improve information dominance in the maritime domain by optimizing tactical mobile ad hoc network (MANET) systems for wireless sharing of biometric data in maritime interdiction operations (MIO). Current methods for sharing biometric data in MIO are unnecessarily slow and do not leverage wireless networks at the tactical edge to maximize information dominance. Field experiments allow students to test wireless MANETs at the tactical edge. Analysis is focused on determining optimal MANET design and implementation.

Abstract:

The autonomous regions of the Nicaraguan Caribbean Coast are resource rich, yet they are among the poorest regions of Latin America. To realize economic growth and potential, this research examined Nicaragua’s primary-sector economic activities and developed a transportation network that would enable the creation of a functional logistics network, therefore enabling integration into the global supply chain for timber, beef, seafood, and light manufactured goods. The main goal of this research is to determine the minimum cost of developing a multimodal transportation network in the region by us

Abstract:

This report set out to evaluate control parameters used in a genetic algorithm in the use-case of providing an area with semi-realistic mobile coverage. The parameters evaluated consisted of the selection method, mutation probability, crossover probability and initial population size. The parameters were evaluated in terms of mean time to achieve a pre-set coverage threshold.The genetic algorithm will be used to generate a model of telecom infrastructure that can be used in simulation purposes, where the usage of the real-world infrastructure is considered illegal. The study found a set o
