MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology is proposed in CDMA systems for much higher rate packet services. The receiver architecture is essential for the mobile devices to support high speed multimedia service. The ...

This thesis deals with the application of reinforcement learning techniques to the control of a closed life support system simulator, such as could be used on a long duration space mission. We apply reinforcement learning ...

Network tomography has recently emerged as a promising method for indirectly inferring network state information from end-to-end measurements. In this thesis, I present novel methodologies for several challenging network ...

A MPI library performs two tasks---computation on behalf of the application, and communication in the form of sending and receiving messages among processes forming the application. Efficient communication is key to a ...
