We consider the problem of minimizing delay when broadcasting over erasure channels with feedback. A sender wishes to communicate the same set of μ messages to several receivers over separate erasure channels. The sender can broad- cast a single message or ...
The design of efficient IEEE 802.11 physical (PHY) rate adaptation algorithms is a challenging research topic and usually the issues surrounding their implementations on real 802.11 devices are not disclosed. In this paper, we identify and evaluate the key ...
We present a minimum spanning tree based energy aware multicast protocol (MSTEAM), which is a localized geographic multicast routing scheme designed for ad hoc and sensor networks. It uses locally-built minimum spanning trees (MST) as an efficient approxim ...
We consider the problem of ranging with Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra-WideBand (UWB) radio under weak Line Of Sight (LOS) environments and additive Gaussian noise. We use a Bayesian approach where the prior distribution of the channel follows the IEEE 802.15.4a ...
The subject of this thesis is image restoration, that is, deconvolution and denoising. Our work is motivated by applications in the rapidly expanding field of biological imaging and in particular fluorescence microscopy. Inverse problems in this area typic ...
We study the problem of distributed Kalman filtering, where a set of nodes are required to collectively estimate the state of a linear dynamic system from their measurements. In diffusion Kalman filtering strategies, neighboring state estimates are linearl ...
Distributed Video Coding (DVC) is a new paradigm for video compression based on the information theoretical results of Slepian and Wolf (SW) and Wyner and Ziv (WZ). DVC entails low complexity encoders as well as separate encoding of correlated video source ...
This thesis deals with the asymptotic analysis of coding systems based on sparse graph codes. The goal of this work is to analyze the decoder performance when transmitting over a general binary-input memoryless symmetric-output (BMS) channel. We consider t ...
This paper addresses the problem of distortion modeling for video transmission over burst-loss channels characterized by a finite state Markov chain. Based on a detailed analysis of the error propagation and the bursty losses, a Distortion Trellis model is ...
This paper considers the problem of robustly emulating a shared atomic memory over a distributed message passing system where processes can fail by crashing and possibly recover. We revisit the notion of atomicity in the crash-recovery context and introduc ...
