In this thesis spline functions have been used to do data fitting for modeled signals. Optimum splines are obtained based on least squares error for the specific signal and image models. In the case of one-dimensional ...

The control problem of an electromechanical system becomes more complex when the flexibility and friction are taken into account in the system model. To approach this problem, an electromechanical system is studied in this ...

Supporting Quality of Service (QoS) in mobile networks requires that admission control algorithms incorporate user mobility, and limit the probability that sufficient resources are unavailable when a user must handoff. In ...

Supporting Quality of Service is an important objective for future mobile systems, and requires resource reservation and admission control to achieve. In this thesis, we introduce a scalable scheme to admission control ...

We explore optimal ways of communicating (with a power constraint) over multiple antenna communication systems by managing spatial power distribution. We find that Mutual Coupling (MC), the interaction between antenna ...

Neurobiologists recently developed tools to record from large populations of neurons, and early results suggest that neurons interact to encode information jointly. However, traditional statistical analysis techniques are ...

We consider the problem of allocating resources in large wireless net- works in which multiple information flows must be accommodated. In particular, we seek a method for selecting schedules, routes, and power allocations ...

This thesis presents the first comprehensive study and new methods for radiometric fingerprinting of the Cognitive Radio (CR) devices. The scope of the currently available radio identification techniques is limited to a ...

Image articulation manifolds (IAMs) arise in a wide variety of contexts in image processing and computer vision applications. IAMs are a natural nonlinear model for image ensembles generated by the variation of imaging ...

This thesis describes a method to simulate parallel programs written for shared memory multiprocessors. We have extended execution-driven simulation to facilitate the simulation of shared memory. We have developed a shared ...
