Euclidean Distance Matrix Completion for Ad-hoc Microphone Array Calibration

Hervé Bourlard, Philip Neil Garner, Mohammadjavad Taghizadeh, Reza Parhizkar

This paper addresses the application of missing data recovery via matrix completion for audio sensor networks. We propose a method based on Euclidean distance matrix completion for ad-hoc microphone array location calibration. This method can calibrate a f ...

Development of Reconfigurable Circuits for WPAN Applications

This thesis presents the development of a low-power analog-to-digital converter (ADC) which is intended to be used in WPAN receivers. WPAN devices are usually mobile and, therefore, operate on batteries. This puts a strict limitation on the power dissipati ...

Combinatorial algorithms for wireless information flow

Christina Fragouli, Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni

long-standing open question in information theory is to characterize the unicast capacity of a wireless relay network. The difficulty arises due to the complex signal interactions induced in the network, since the wireless channel inherently broadcasts the ...

On Secure and Precise IR-UWB Ranging

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Marcin Poturalski, Manuel Flury

To provide high ranging precision in multipath environments, a ranging protocol should find the first arriving path, rather than the strongest path. We demonstrate a new attack vector that disrupts such precise Time-of-Arrival (ToA) estimation, and allows ...

Evaluation of classification algorithms for intrusion detection in MANETs

Aikaterini Mitrokotsa

Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are wireless networks without fixed infrastructure based on the cooperation of independent mobile nodes. The proliferation of these networks and their use in critical scenarios (like battlefield communications or vehicular n ...

An 8-PPM, 45 pJ/bit UWB Transmitter with Reduced Number of PA Elements

Alexandre Schmid, Yusuf Leblebici, Vahid Majidzadeh Bafar

An impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter (Tx) using finite impulse response synthesis of the raised-cosine pulse is presented. Symmetric pulse combining technique is proposed to reduce the number of power amplifier elements by half. A novel all ...

A Sub 100 mu W UWB Sensor-Node Powered by a Piezoelectric Vibration Harvester

Nico de Rooij, Danick Briand, Pierre-André Farine, Pattanaphong Janphuang

Piezoelectric harvesters are considered an alternative power source for applications that can support low to medium data rate transmissions in wireless sensor networks where ambient vibrations can provide microwatts to milliwatts of power. In this paper, w ...

Design of a Discrete-Component Impulse-Radio Ultra Wide-Band (IR-UWB) Testbed and Design of a very Low-Power IR-UWB Transmitter in CMOS Technology

Edmund James Colli-Vignarelli

This work presents, in a first part, a testbed for Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) communication for validating the possibility to do such radio communications. The UWB radio is a radio technique that consists to send extremely short impulses (few na ...

Residential mobility and the spatial dispersion of personal networks: effects on social support

Gil Viry

Using a representative national sample of personal networks, this article explores how the spatial dispersion of networks, residential mobility and social support are linked. Three issues will be addressed here. Firstly, how is the spatial dispersion of pe ...
