Nowadays processing systems are asked to support increasing complex and demanding high-performance applications, especially in the signal processing and video processing domains. The design of these systems are becoming extremely challenging because of sev ...
The main goal in network information theory is to identify fundamental limits of communication over networks, and design solutions which perform close to such limits. After several decades of effort, many important problems still do not have a characteriza ...
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 ...
In wireless portable applications, a large part of the signal processing is performed in the digital domain. Digital circuits show many advantages. The power consumption and fabrication costs are low even for high levels of complexity. A well established a ...
The problem of side-information scalable source coding is considered in this work, where the encoder constructs a progressive description, such that the receiver with high quality side information will be able to truncate the bitstream and reconstruct in t ...
Improving the dependability of computer systems is a critical and essential task. In this context, the paper surveys techniques that allow to achieve fault tolerance in distributed systems by replication. The main replication techniques are first explained ...
Group communication in partitionable systems has been the focus of many research activities over the last decade. Fault-tolerant applications in a partitionable system model generally rely on two basic services: a group membership service and a reliable mu ...
Network information theory explores the fundamental data transport limits over communication networks. Broadcasting and relaying are two natural models arising in communication contexts where multiple users share a common communication medium. Number of re ...
The Karhunen–Loève transform (KLT) is a key ele- ment of many signal processing and communication tasks. Many recent applications involve distributed signal processing, where it is not generally possible to apply the KLT to the entire signal; rather, the K ...
We consider the joint optimization of sensor placement and transmission structure for data gathering, where a given number of nodes need to be placed in a field such that the sensed data can be reconstructed at a sink within specified distortion bounds whi ...
