Performance trade-off analysis in bidirectional network beamforming.
(2011-10-01)
This research examines a two-way relay network consisting of two transceivers and
multiple parallel relays, which are equipped with single antennas and operate in a halfduplex
mode. In this system, the two transceivers ...
Characterization of natural fibre reinforced biodegradable composities
(2011-08-01)
Low cost, light weight, recyclability, and high specific strength of natural fibres make them a good replacement for synthetic fibre such as glass in fibre reinforced plastics (FRP). Green and ecofriendly source of these ...
Energy-efficient relay cooperation for lifetime maximization
(2011-08-01)
We study energy-efficient power allocation among relays for lifetime maximization
in a dual-hop relay network operated by amplify-and-forward relays with battery
limitations. Power allocation algorithms are proposed for ...
Improved design of three-degree of freedom hip exoskeleton based on biomimetic parallel structure
(2011-07-01)
The external skeletons, Exoskeletons, are not a new research area in this highly
developed world. They are widely used in helping the wearer to enhance human strength,
endurance, and speed while walking with them. Most ...
Forensic analysis of unallocated space
(2011-06-01)
Computer forensics has become an important technology in providing evidence in investigations of computer misuse, attacks against computer systems and more traditional crimes like money laundering and fraud where digital ...
Evaluating and improving collection tree protocol in mobile wireless sensor network
(2011-07-01)
There has been growing interest in the Mobile WSN applications where mobility is
the fundamental characteristic of the sensor nodes. Mobility poses many challenges
to the routing protocols used in such applications. In ...
Channel estimation in a two-way relay network
(2011-08-01)
In wireless communications, channel estimation is necessary for coherent symbol detection.
This thesis considers a network which consists of two transceivers communicating
with the help of a relay applying the amplify-and-forward ...
Design and optimization of a three-fingered robot hand
(2011-04-01)
Humanoid robots have proven to be very useful and could revolutionize the way humans
live. Knowing human anatomy and behaviour helps improve a robotic mechanisms
ability to perform human tasks. The following thesis introduces ...
Thermodynamic analysis of ammonia and urea fed solid oxide fuel cells
(2011-04-11)
This thesis is concerned with the thermodynamic analyses of ion and proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) fed with ammonia and urea as fuels. A multi-level approach was used to determine the feasibility and the ...
Reliability analysis of smart electrical transmission system and reliability modeling through dynamic flowgraph methodology
(2011-04-01)
Reliability assessment methods allow the evaluation of the reliability of systems and provide important information on how to improve a system‟s life to reduce risk and hazards. With the advancement in technology, the ...
