Recently, Information-Centric Networking (ICN) has attracted much attention in part because of its promising future as next-generation Internet architecture. While ICN is scalable and efficient in the Internet, it raises concerns when deployed in a mobile large scale network lik…
Presently, there is no up-to-date literature on the characterization of reputation and trust in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) which can be referenced by scientists, researchers and students. Although some research documents include information on reputation and trust, characte…
The trustworthiness of a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) comes from the data it receives, which in turn depends on the trustworthiness of each and every node in that network. Among several motivations for developing WSN trust models, the social networking and ecommerce models are …
In this dissertation, the concept of wireless ATM was introduced and the hot area of research concerning improving the reliability of transmission throughout the wireless media was considered. A new wireless automatic error control system was suggested and a detailed cell loss a…
This thesis aims to identify and explain how, through the consumption of the wireless as a modern consumer durable, modernism was brought to society. To understand this process, the study will map how social change during the period responded to wider intellectual and aesthetic …
This dissertation presents two novel contributions in the area of wireless thin-client computing. The first contribution is a mathematical performance model for a wireless thin-client system. This model identifies the factors that affect the performance of the system. Also, the …
Sensor nodes collect data from the physical world, then exchange it, until it reaches the intended destination. This information can be sensitive, such as battlefield surveillance. Therefore, providing secure and continuous data transmissions among sensor nodes in wireless netwo…
Wireless communications have experienced tremendous growth in the last decade, which has placed significant demand for RF spectrum, leading to spectrum "crunch." Driven by numerous studies that revealed the significant under-utilization of many licensed channels in the VHF and U…
In this thesis, we present the first-ever fully integrated mm3 low-power biomedical transceiver with 1 meter of range that is powered by a mm2 thin-film battery. The transceiver is targeted for biomedical implants where size and energy constraints dictated by application make de…
The very advancing theory of Space-Time (ST) codes has attracted many researchers to study their performance and design criteria. In this thesis, the existing upper bound on the bit error probability of ST codes over rapid fading channels was evaluated. A very tight upper bound …
Digital networks often are celebrated for their ability to induce horizontal modes of social organization and resistance to authoritarian control, yet these dreams have been largely dashed as such networks have come to be enclosed by corporate actors, remaining dependent upon ve…
"Wireless Communications Standards: A Study of IEEE 802.11, 802.15, and 802.16 is one of the latest books in the IEEE Standards Wireless Networks Series, and it is the only book of its kind that covers all of the current 802 wireless standards! Presented in a clear style, by Dr.…
