Broadcasting (one-to-all communication) is one of most important and fundamental research problems for information dissemination in all types of networks. In this paper, we mainly focus on the minimum-latency broadcasting in known topology Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), in which the network topology and the size is known in advance. It is well known that the computation of a minimum-latency broadcasting...
In this paper, we investigate multiple-input single-output (MISO) simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) broadcast channels with confidential messages (BCC) scenario, in which a multiple-antenna transmitter simultaneously transmits confidential messages and power to multiple single-antenna receivers. Considering the imperfect channel state information (CSI), we study the joint...
This work presents a self-adaptation algorithm to automatically adjust the peaking settings of a continuous-time linear equalizer (CTLE) in a high-speed PAM4 receiver. A statistical approach is adopted to improve the robustness and flexibility of the adaptation algorithm. The PAM4 top level distribution around the peak value of several consecutive top levels guides the CTLE to attain the optimal digital...
Various extensions of TCP/IP have been proposed to reduce network latency; examples include Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), Data Center TCP (DCTCP) and several proposals for Active Queue Management (AQM). Combining these techniques requires adjusting various parameters, and recent studies have found that it is difficult to do so while obtaining both high performance and low latency. This is...
A robust approach for estimating the expected maximum levels of radiofrequency, time-varying, electromagnetic emissions is proposed. The expected maximum peak value is intended to provide a statistical approximation for the worst case emissions scenario that accounts for the variability of the measured interference. The estimates are obtained through Monte Carlo resampling from a non-parametric distribution...
Indoor localisation is a currently a key issue, from robotics to the Internet of Things. With hardware advancements making Ultra-Wideband devices more accurate and low powered (potentially even passive), this unlocks the potential of having such devices in common place around factories and homes, enabling an alternative method of navigation. Therefore, anchor calibration indoors becomes a key problem...
This paper proposes a new filter design optimized for GNSS attitude determination applications using low cost devices. The filter contains all relevant constraints and observations, including double differenced carrier phase and code observations along with MEMS-IMU observations. Benefited from the unified treatment, the priori information is well used during the resolution of double differenced GNSS...
This paper presents a novel LIN transceiver designed and fabricated in a 0.14 µm high-voltage SOI CMOS technology that uses a time-continuous bus-feedback technique. The architecture of the LIN transceiver takes advantage of the advanced BCD process as a waveshaping DAC uses a dense control logic circuit while the high-voltage capability enhances the robustness of the transmitter and the receiver...
The present paper discusses different techniques of measuring Carrier-to-Noise density ratio (C/N0) in navigation and information-communication systems. C/N0 means the ratio of the received signal power to the noise spectral density N0 at receiver's input (at the output of an antenna with a low-noise amplifier (LNA)). Correlation processing is performed in the receiver to obtain in-phase (I) and quadra-phase...
GPS is used for outdoor localization in a large variety of applications. Current receivers consume too much power for energy-constrained situations like continuous location tracking on small wearable devices. Mainly, this is due to the large amount of GPS signal that has to be decoded to compute the first position fix. While Coarse-Time Navigation (CTN) can reduce the necessary signal to a few milliseconds,...
Developing means of secure and trustful communications for Vehicular Social Networks (VSN) is essential to enable active information sharing among vehicles. Reputation-based trust management system is a popular security mechanism used in vehicular networks and proven to be robust in many other applications. In this paper, we propose a similarity-based bootstrapping method using analytic hierarchy...
Next generation applications of wireless IP networks face an ever increasing demand of real-time dissemination of sensory and similar data to nearby devices. During situations when the transmission capabilities become scarce due to overused bandwidth, such as vehicular and various IoT use-cases, limiting the number of transmitted bytes over the wireless interfaces could ease the network load considerably...
Fountain codes are used in many applications where the channels are time varying and it is difficult at the transmitter to predict the appropriate code rate. In this situation, fixedrate codes are not suitable. Despite the good performance of fountain codes, universally optimal codes do not exist in the finite-length regime. In this paper, we design new fountain codes that are robust to the communication...
We introduce Cyclone codes which are rateless erasure resilient codes. They combine Pair codes with Luby Transform (LT) codes by computing a code symbol from a random set of data symbols using bitwise XOR and cyclic shift operations. The number of data symbols is chosen according to the Robust Soliton distribution. XOR and cyclic shift operations establish a unitary commutative ring if data symbols...
Minimum energy required to achieve a distortion-noise profile, i.e., a function indicating the maximum allowed distortion value for each noise level, is studied for robust transmission of Gaussian sources over Gaussian channels. It is shown that for the inversely linear profile, uncoded transmission is optimal. On the other hand, it turns out that exponential profiles are not achievable with finite...
In the network coding, we discuss the effect by sequential error injection to information leakage. We show that there is no improvement when the network is composed of linear operations. However, when the network contains non-linear operations, we find a counterexample to improve Eve's obtained information. Further, we discuss the asymptotic rate in the linear network under the secrecy and robustness...
In this paper, we present a radio frequency (RF) front-end design for increasing robustness of non-coherent energy detection based impulse radio (IR) ultra-wideband (UWB) receivers in impulsive noise environment. Robustness against impulsive noise is achieved by on chip LNA-bandpass filter (BPF) circuit, which also works as a clipper for high energy impulsive noise bursts. The electrostatic discharge...
This paper deals with the bearing angle estimation problem associated with a 1-axis gimballed ultrasonic seeker which can be used as a low-cost sensor for mobile robot applications. Under the assumptions that the target has a ultrasonic transmitter, and the gimbal control loops work properly, the moving target tracking reduces to the estimation problem of a piecewise constant bearing angle using real...
The proliferation and daily congregation of modern mobile devices have created abundant opportunities for peer edge devices to share valuable data with each other. The short contact durations, relatively small sharing sizes, and uncertain data availability, demand agile, light weight peer based data sharing. In this paper, we propose Peer Data Sharing (PDS) that enables edge devices to discover which...
