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 …
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…
Wireless designers constantly seek to improve the spectrum efficiency/capacity, coverage of wireless networks, and link reliability. Space-time wireless technology that uses multiple antennas along with appropriate signalling and receiver techniques offers a powerful tool for im…
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 …
