Coded caching for cache-aided communication and computing with nonuniform demands
(2021-10-01)
In this dissertation, we consider the caching system of multiple cache-enabled users with nonuniform demands. We thoroughly characterize the structure of the optimal cache placement of the coded caching scheme (CCS).We ...
Soft-switched, active-clamped DC/AC and AC/AC converters for IPT-based wireless charging applications
(2020-09-01)
The acquisition of inductive power transfer (IPT) technology in commercial electric vehicles (EVs) alleviates the inherent burdens of high cost, limited driving range, and long charging time. In EV wireless charging systems ...
Toward enhancing metaheuristic optimization algorithms using center-based sampling strategies for solving single- and multi- objective large-scale problems
(2020-12-01)
Over the last decade, metaheuristic algorithms have become well-established approaches utilized for solving complex real-world optimization problems. Most metaheuristic algorithms have used stochastic strategies in their ...
A contextual authentication framework for smart home environments
(2020-04-01)
A smart home is one equipped with connected Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that can be remotely accessed and controlled. Access to smart home devices is mostly achieved through smartphones and tablet computers, but this ...
A wireless communication based active safety system for articulated heavy vehicles
(2020-04-01)
To date, various active safety systems, have been developed to improve the safety of road vehicles. This dissertation presents a novel active trailer steering (ATS) system using wireless communication to exchange data among ...
Development of conformal reconfigurable metamaterial-based antennas
(2022-01-01)
Antennas are vital components of any wireless communication device. There has been a wide demand for novel flexible and reconfigurable wireless devices as a result of the rising user applications. This thesis presents the ...
An AFE based embedded system for physiological computing
(2019-11-01)
The present hospital-based health care system will be burdened because of the growing aging population. Aging and stress result in cardiovascular diseases that cost around seventeen million lives globally every year. To ...
Power-optimal MIMO two-way relay networks
(2018-04-01)
In this dissertation, we study MIMO two-way relay networks consisting of singleantenna users which wish to exchange information with the help of multiple multiantenna relays. The problem we aim to solve is to minimize the ...
Design and development of advanced control techniques for an unmanned ground vehicle
(2018-11-01)
Recent years have seen considerable progress towards the goal of autonomous and unmanned ground vehicles which became essential for conducting military operations. These autonomous vehicles have the capability to operate ...
Modeling, analysis, simulation and real-time hardware in-the-loop implementation of hybrid/electric vehicles’ powertrain
(2019-03-01)
This thesis investigates modeling, analysis and simulation of propulsion system in HEVs/EVs with particular emphasis on transient modeling. To achieve that, a novel complete simulation model on PSIM platform has been ...
