Bandwidth-Aware Routing Tree (BART) for Underwater 3-D Geographic Routing 

Kim, Tae (2008-08-15)
The limited bandwidth and power resources in underwater sensor networks have made geographic routing a favorite choice. While many detouring strategies in geographic routing do not work for 3-D underwater network topology, ...

Energy-Efficient Traffic-Aware Routing in Underwater 

Zhang, Lei (2008-08-15)
Underwater acoustic networks are a special type of wireless sensor networks deployed in a harsh oceanic environment for mission critical tasks. In this unique sensor network, energy efficiency is the most critical problem. ...

Genetic and Evolutionary Protocols for Solving Distributed Asymmetric Constraint Satisfaction Problems 

Fu, Ser-Geon (2007-08-15)
Processor speed has been growing at an exponential rate over the past 50 years. Computers are getting smaller, cheaper and faster. Over the past 30 years, with the growth of the internet, new forms of decentralized ...

High Performance Rate Adaptation on IEEE 802.11 Networks 

Wu, Shaoen (2008-08-15)
IEEE 802.11 standard has evolved from the basic transmission rates in early days to multiple rates today with advanced encoding and antenna techniques. The performance of IEEE 802.11 wireless networks is supposed to ...

Improving Geographic Routing with Neighbor Sectoring 

Jin, Jingren (2007-12-15)
An ad hoc network consists of many mobile devices which forms a network automatically. Among many ad hoc network routing algorithms, geographic routing algorithm is known as an efficient and scalable routing protocol. The ...

Improving System Performance for Wireless Networks 

Shen, Fangyang (2008-08-15)
In this dissertation, we solve two problems in wireless networks: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) enhancement and cluster node sleep scheduling. When TCP is deployed in a wireless mesh network, it encounters several ...

An Indoor Wireless LAN Location Determination System 

Song, Lanlan (2005-12-15)
As pervasive computing becomes more popular, the need for context-aware applica-tions increases. The context of an application refers to the information that is part of its operating environment, in which the physical ...

Lattice-Reduction Aided Linear Equalization For Wireless Communications Over Fading Channels 

Zhang, Wei (2006-05-15)
Modern wireless communications ask for high data rate, high transmission performance and low complexity. High data rate induces frequency-selective channels because of the relatively shorter symbol duration than the delay ...

Location Estimation in Wireless Networks 

Ji, Yiming (2006-05-15)
Wireless location determination has attracted much attention lately due to its many applications in mobile (sensor) networking including target tracking and network intrusion detection. However, it is challenging due to ...

Multi Initiator Connected Dominating Set Construction for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks 

Kim, Kyoung (2008-08-15)
Connected dominating set (CDS) has been extensively used for routing and broadcast in mobile ad hoc networks. While existing CDS protocols are successful in constructing CDS of competitive size with localized information, ...

Multiple UAV Simulation with Multiresolution Multistage Models and Decision Support 

Li, Bo (2008-08-15)
Multi UAV simulation is a dynamic multi-simulation of multiple Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) activities in the battlefield with multiresolution multistage models. Decision support is implemented under this simulation. It ...

A novel Quadtree-Based Genetic Programming for Security and AI Applications 

Harn, Po-wei (2024-05-07)  ETD File Embargoed
Genetic programming (GP) is one of the techniques of the field of genetic and evolutionary computation. Its major task is to evolve computer programs, where each individual is represented as tree structures. Despite its ...

Practical Consideration of Routing Protocols in Ad Hoc Networks 

Yang, Junmo (2006-12-15)
In this dissertation, we investigate different routing approaches in an attempt to improve the network performance by considering how wireless networks operate in the realistic environment. Our work is centered around ...

Practical Stateless Geographical Routing (PSGR) - 3-D Stateless Geographic Routing for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks 

Lee, Sang (2008-05-15)
Underwater acoustic sensor networks have recently gained increasing research attentions due to their vast potential applications. Although the limited bandwidth and power resources in such networks have made stateless ...

Promulgating Graduate Research and Disseminating Student Information through Web Applications and Database Management 

Chien, Li-Ching (2006-05-15)
