The design of a programmable receiver for an ultra wideband (UWB) communication is presented. The receiver is using a fast analog to digital converter (ADC) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA) allowing a rapid performance evaluation for various syst ...
Ultra wide band (UWB) may offer very efficient solutions for various communication and sensing applications. Two approaches have emerged, which meet all the communication requirements: impulse and multi-band systems. The present work is concerned in the se ...
In a remarkable paper published in 1976, Burna- shev determined the reliability function of variable-length block codes over discrete memoryless channels (DMCs) with feedback. Subsequently, an alternative achievability proof was obtained by Yamamoto and It ...
In a significant class of sensor-network applications, the identities of the reporting sensors constitute the bulk of the communicated data, whereas the message itself can be as small as a single bit---for instance, in many cases, sensors are used to detec ...
An indulgent algorithm is a distributed algorithm that, besides tolerating process failures, also tolerates unreliable information about the interleaving of the processes. This article presents a general characterization of indulgence in an abstract comput ...
The use of omnidirectional cameras for videoconferencing promises to simplify the hardware setup necessary for large groups of participants. We investigate the use of a multimodal speaker detection algorithm on audio-visual sequences captured with such a c ...
This thesis inquires how map annotations can be used to sustain remote collaboration. Maps condense the interplay of space and communication, solving linguistic references by linking conversational content to the actual places to which it refers. This is a ...
Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...
This paper presents an efficient adaptive combination strategy for diffusion algorithms over adaptive networks in order to improve the robustness against the spatial variation of SNR over the network. The diffusion least-mean square (LMS) algorithm with th ...
Existing distributed stream systems adopt a tightly-coupled communication paradigm and focus on fine-tuning of operator placements to achieve communication efficiency. This kind of approach is hard to scale (both to the nodes in the network and the users). ...
