Joint channel pairing and power allocation optimization in two-way multichannel relaying.
(2014-08-01)We consider two-way amplify-and-forward relaying in a multichannel system with two end nodes and a single relay, using a two-slot multi-access broadcast (MABC) as well as time-division broadcast (TDBC) relaying strategies. ... -
Joint optimization of transmit beamforming and base station cache allocation in multi-cell C-RAN
(2021-11-01)Cloud radio access network (C-RAN) with wireless backhaul has been considered as a possible solution for small cell deployment. Limited capacity of wireless backhaul encourages people to equip the base stations (BSs) with ... -
Joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network
(2016-08-01)In this thesis, we focus on joint relay beamforming and transceiver processing in multiuser relay network. First of all, we consider the scenario in which multiple source-to-destination (S-D) pairs intend to communicate ... -
Joint uplink-downlink beamforming in multi-antenna relaying schemes
(2009-11-01)The thesis examines the problem of joint receive and transmit beamforming for a wireless network which consists of one relay node equipped with multiple antennas. The transmitter and the receiver are single antenna ... -
Jointly optimal pre- and post-channel equalization and distributed beamforming in asynchronous bi-directional relay networks
(2015-09-01)We consider an asynchronous two-way relay network, consisting of two transceivers and multiple relays, where due to the propagation delays of different transceiver-relay paths being different, inter-symbol- interference ... -
Key performance indicators modeling for optimized microgrid configuration
(2015-11-01)Distribution system is so vulnerable to failures. These failures can be the result of natural or manmade threats. Blackouts are one of the distribution systems failures. Many people can be affected by blackouts. Therefore, ... -
Lateral stability analysis and MPC tracking control for articulated heavy vehicles
(2022-10-01)Articulated heavy vehicles (AHVs) exhibit poor maneuverability during curved-path negotiations and low lateral stability under high-speed evasive maneuvers, which may lead to unstable motion modes, e.g., trailer-sway and ... -
Learning image enhancement and object localization using evolutionary algorithms
(2014-03-01)Imaging and image processing have been used in variety of applications, such as medical, astronomy, forensic, and industry. Numerous techniques have been proposed to solve speci c problems faced in particular applications ... -
Li-ion battery electrode state of charge and degradation monitoring using battery casing as the reference electrode
(2022-08-01)Lithium-ion battery (LIB) internal state such as state of charge (SOC), electrode capacity, and available lithium-ion monitoring is helpful for effective battery degradation monitoring. Monitoring these internal parameters ... -
Life cycle assessment of conventional and alternative fuels for vehicles
(2018-08-01)For the near future, it is important that vehicles are run by alternative fuels. Before we can go ahead with the new alternatives, it is crucial that a comprehensive life cycle analysis is carried out for fuels. In this ... -
Linear regression model for continuous non-invasive blood pressure estimation for an ICU setting
(2021-11-01)Continuous blood pressure (BP) monitoring in critically ill patients is crucially important for clinicians. The gold standard intra-arterial method is complicated and contraindicated. Current pulse transit time (PTT)-based ... -
Linear synchronous motor based propulsion for the futuristic hyperloop transportation system
(2022-02-01)Current trends are leading towards an electrified future of transportation. Its popularity amongst the public is continuously increasing this trend. Today, the demands for an economical, carbon conscience and faster mode ... -
Localization of a robotic crawler for CANDU fuel channel inspection
(2017-06-01)This thesis discusses the design and development of a pipe crawling robot for the purpose of CANDU fuel channel inspection. The pipe crawling robot shall be capable of deploying the existing CIGAR (Channel Inspection and ... -
Low complexity multicast beamforming in massive MIMO multi-cell networks
(2018-08-01)In this thesis, we consider downlink multicast beamforming in massive multi-input multi- output (MIMO) multi-cell networks. Both non-cooperative and cooperative beamforming scenarios are considered. For the non-cooperative ... -
Machine learning classification techniques for non-intrusive load monitoring
(2016-10-01)Non-intrusive load monitoring is the concept of determining the operational loads using single-point sensing. The features contained within the electrical load’s signal are used to identify a unique signature which is ... -
