Wideband Multiport Antennas

Anja Skrivervik, Abdulkadir Uzun

In this paper, a wideband four port 2-6 GHz antenna is proposed. One-, two-, and four-port antennas are implemented and characterized between 2 and 6 GHz. The isolation between the ports is improved by connecting and optimizing the ground plane sections. T ...

Hallucination Engineering: From Neuroscience Robotics to Hallucinations in Health and Disease

Eva Blondiaux

My thesis focuses on a psychotic symptom called the presence hallucination (PH). PHs are defined as the false perception that someone is nearby when no one is actually present. PHs can occur in various populations, ranging from healthy subjects (when expos ...

Cross-Layer Energy-Efficiency Optimization of Packet Based Wireless MIMO Communication Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Georgios Karakonstantis, Carl Christian Sten Dominic Senning

Energy in today's short-range wireless communication is mostly spent on the analog-and digital hardware rather than on radiated power. Hence, purely information-theoretic considerations fail to achieve the lowest energy per information bit and the optimiza ...

Modulation, Coding, and Receiver Design for Gigabit mmWave Communication

Nicholas Alexander Preyss

While wireless communication has become an ubiquitous part of our daily life and the world around us, it has not been able yet to deliver the multi-gigabit throughput required for applications like high-definition video transmission or cellular backhaul co ...

Fractionally Spaced Complex Sub-Nyquist Sampling for Multi-Gigabit 60 GHz Wireless Communication

Andreas Peter Burg, Nicholas Alexander Preyss

A novel analog front-end architecture based on complex sub-Nyquist sampling for the intermediate frequency (IF) stage of a mmWave receiver is proposed. With this front-end, the use of a wideband hybrid coupler and two half-rate analog-to-digital converters ...

Learning Wi-Fi Performance

Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Nidhi Hegde

Accurate prediction of wireless network performance is important when performing link adaptation or resource allocation. However, the complexity of interference interactions at MAC and PHY layers, as well as the vast variety of possible wireless configurat ...

CSMA/CA in Time and Frequency Domains

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen

It has recently been shown that flexible channelization, whereby wireless stations adapt their spectrum bands on a per-frame basis, is feasible in practice. In this paper, we propose TF-CSMA/CA, an algorithm for flexible channelization that schedules packe ...

Digital Synchronization for Symbol-spaced IEEE802.11ad Gigabit mmWave Systems

Andreas Peter Burg, Nicholas Alexander Preyss

A complete digital synchronization architecture for an IEEE 802.11ad compliant 60 GHz receiver is presented. The characteristics of mmWave systems require a holistic view on the problem of parameter estimation, such that not each parameter is dealt with on ...

Power-Efficient Joint Compressed Sensing of Multi-Lead ECG Signals

David Atienza Alonso, Pierre Vandergheynst, Giovanni Ansaloni, Hossein Mamaghanian

Compressed Sensing (CS) is a new acquisition- compression paradigm for low-complexity energy-aware sensing and compression. By merging both sampling and compression, CS is very promising to develop practical ultra-low power read- out systems for wireless b ...

Energy Efficient VLSI Circuits for MIMO-WLAN

Carl Christian Sten Dominic Senning

Mobile communication - anytime, anywhere access to data and communication services - has been continuously increasing since the operation of the first wireless communication link by Guglielmo Marconi. The demand for higher data rates, despite the limited b ...

Fairness of MAC protocols: IEEE 1901 vs. 802.11

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Christina Vlachou

The MAC layer of the IEEE 1901 standard for power line communications employs a CSMA/CA method similar to, but more complex than, this of IEEE 802.11 for wireless communications. The differences between these protocols raise questions such as which one per ...

Probabilistic Spinning Reserve Provision Model in Multi-Control Zone Power System

Mokhtar Bozorg, Sidi-Rachid Cherkaoui, Ali Ahmadi Khatir

Inter-zonal trading in multi-area power system (MAPS) improves the market efficiency and the system reliability by sharing the resources (energy and reserve services) across zonal boundaries. Actually, each area can operate with less reserve resources than ...

A Parallelized Layered QC-LDPC Decoder for IEEE 802.11ad

Andreas Peter Burg, Alessandro Cevrero, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Nicholas Alexander Preyss

We present a doubly parallelized layered quasi-cyclic low density parity-check decoder for the emerging IEEE 802.11ad multigigabit wireless standard. The decoding algorithm is equivalent to a nonparallelized layered decoder and, thus, retains its favorable ...

Distributed Spectrum Assignment for Home WLANs

Patrick Thiran, Julien Pierre Sacha Herzen, Ruben Merz

We consider the problem of jointly allocating chan- nel center frequencies and bandwidths for IEEE 802.11 wireless LANs (WLANs). The bandwidth used on a link affects sig- nificantly both the capacity experienced on this link and the interference produced o ...

Smashing WEP in A Passive Attack

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Pouyan Sepehrdad, Petr Susil

In this paper, we report extremely fast and optimised active and passive attacks against the old IEEE 802.11 wireless communication protocol WEP. This was achieved through a huge amount of theoretical and experimental analysis (capturing WiFi packets), ref ...

Achieving high-throughput State Machine Replication in multi-core systems

André Schiper, Nuno Filipe de Sousa Santos

The traditional architecture used by implementations of Replicated State Machines (RSM) does not fully exploit modern multi-core CPUs. This is increasingly the limiting factor in their performance, because network speeds are increasing much faster than the ...

On the Asymptotic Validity of the Decoupling Assumption for Analyzing 802.11 MAC Protocol

Jean-Yves Le Boudec

Performance evaluation of the 802.11 MAC protocol is classically based on the decoupling assumption, which hypothesizes that the backoff processes at different nodes are independent. This decoupling assumption results from mean field convergence and is gen ...
