Practical design and performance solutions for every ad hoc wireless network Ad Hoc Wireless Networks comprise mobile devices that use wireless transmission for communication. They can be set up anywhere and any time because they eliminate the complexities of infrastructure setu…
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 …
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…
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 …
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 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…
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…
A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) consists of a number of nodes, each typically having a small amount of non-replenishable energy. Some of the nodes have sensors, which may be used to gather environmental data. A common network abstraction used in WSNs is the (source, sink) archit…
