We describe novel audio coding technique designed to be utilized at medium bit-rates. Unlike classical state-of-the-art audio coders that are based on short-term spectra, our approach uses relatively long temporal segments of audio signal in critical-band- ...
Security is at the core of any communication system and, in particular, of wireless (radio) networks. In this thesis, we focus on three important security aspects in the framework of wireless networks: selfish (noncooperative) behavior at the Medium Access ...
In all-wireless networks, minimizing energy consumption is crucial as in most cases the nodes are battery-operated. We focus on the problem of power-optimal broadcast, for which it is well known that the broadcast nature of radio transmissions can be explo ...
A broadcasting system for communicating data to multiple receivers using information additive code includes one or more information additive code transmitters and one or more information additive code receivers. Each of the information additive code transm ...
A technique based on linear precoding is introduced for broadcasting on linear networks. The precoding allows the different message components of a broadcast message to be separated and decoded at the desired sink nodes, thus providing a systematic design ...
Energy efficiency, i.e., the amount of battery energy consumed to transmit bits across a wireless link, is a critical design parameter for wireless ad-hoc networks. We examine the problem of broadcasting information to all nodes in an ad-hoc network, when ...
Inspired by unidirectional error detecting codes that are used in situations where only one kind of bit errors are possible (e.g., it is possible to change a bit “0” into a bit “1”, but not the contrary), we propose integrity codes (I-codes) for a radio co ...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks such as BitTorrent and Avalanche are increasingly used for disseminating potentially large files from a server to many end users via the Internet. The key idea is to divide the file into many equally-sized parts and then ...
Many applications of wireless ad hoc sensor and actuator networks (WSANs) rely on the knowledge of node locations. These are challenging to obtain when nodes are mobile and are not equipped with any expensive positioning hardware. In this paper, we are int ...
Recently, there has been considerable discussion about new wireless technologies and standards able to achieve high data rates. Due to the recent advances of digital signal processing and Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) technologies, the initial obstac ...
