Multi-Layer Space Information Networks: Access Design and Softwarization

Dual Degree Dissertation Efficient Media Access Control (MAC) Layer Design for Multi-Class CDMA Networks

Heterogeneity of telecommunications platform and customization of multimedia services are two predominant features of the third generation wireless cellular networks. In such a scenario, where the access requirements of multimedia customers and network conditions change from session to session, the existence of fair and efficient algorithms for admission control and scheduling which exploit the...

Cross-layer Design of Random Access Wireless Networks

Interference is one of the foremost problems in wireless communication which leads to various unique design challenges for wireless networks. Wireless medium access control (MAC) has to be specifically designed to resolve contention in the presence of interference. As a result, an important technique, the random access protocol, has emerged to address the contention issue. This protocol is the ...

Heuristic design and provisioning of resilient multi-layer networks

SEISMIC DESIGN OF DOUBLE LAYER GRIDS BY NEURAL NETWORKS

The main contribution of the present paper is to train efficient neural networks for seismic design of double layer grids subject to multiple-earthquake loading. As the seismic analysis and design of such large scale structures require high computational efforts, employing neural network techniques substantially decreases the computational burden. Square-on-square double layer grids with the va...

Cross-Layer Design of Multi-Hop Wireless Networks

M ULTI -hop wireless networks are usually defined as a collection of nodes equipped with radio transmitters, which not only have the capability to communicate each other in a multi-hop fashion, but also to route each others’ data packets. The distributed nature of such networks makes them suitable for a variety of applications where there are no assumed reliable central entities, or controllers...
