Quality of service and channel-aware packet bundling for capacity improvement in cellular networks
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-05-26)
We study the problem of multiple packet bundling to improve spectral efficiency
in cellular networks. The packet size of real-time data, such as VoIP, is often very small.
However, the common use of time division ...
Security in pervasive health care using location-based key generation schemes
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-08-15)
Remote health monitoring has tremendous potential to improve quality of health
care services in modern and ubiquitous medical environments. It helps to cut the cost in
modern healthcare by avoiding unnecessary hospital ...
Application of Wrapper Methods to Non-Invasive Brain-State Detection: An Opto-Electric Approach
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
Using a classification guided feature selection (wrapper method) in conjunction with a new performance metric, I present a solution to multi-class subject invariant Brain Computer Interface (BCIs) using electroencephalography ...
Topic network: a semantic model for effective learning
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-08)
There has been tremendous interest in sharing and retrieving information through the Web. A
search engine can be used to retrieve relevant web documents. However, the sheer volume of
results returned often requires ...
A new constraint-based algorithm to learn Bayesian network structure from data: Control of Spurious Pairwise Information (CSPI)
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-01)
A Bayesian network is a directed acyclic graphical representation of a set of variables. This representation occupies the middle ground between a causal network and a simple list of pairwise correlations by including ...
Scheduling schemes for throughput optimization in wireless adhoc networks using directional antennas
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-09)
This thesis presents a scheme for scheduling of wireless adhoc networks by using directional antennas using the concept of frequency reuse. The idea of wireless adhoc network communication is taken one step further by ...
Network partition for switched industrial ethernet using combined search heuristics
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-06-06)
A large industrial company needs a cost efficient telecommunication network to
support heavy telecommunication needs among its different departments which are
distributed in various locations. Because of the huge amount ...
Semantic Frameworks for Document and Ontology Clustering
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
The Internet has made it possible, in principle, for scientists to quickly find research papers of interest. In practice, the overwhelming volume of publications makes this a time consuming task. It is, therefore, important ...
IP/MPLS over OTN over DWDM multilayer networks: optimization models, algorithms, and analyses
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-05-24)
Over the past decade, multilayer network design has received significant attention
in the scientific literature. However, the explicit modeling of IP/MPLS over OTN over
DWDM in which the OTN layer is specifically considered ...
Design of a low-power analog circuit for an implantable RFID-enabled device with passive pressure sensor
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-08-22)
A low-power analog core for an implantable RFID-enabled pressure measurement system is
designed. The analog core includes the power generation block for the system, the clock
extractor for the digital core and the pressure ...
SiDR: a Secure inter-Domain Routing protocol for future internet
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-08-26)
Inter-domain routing is a critical functionality that help connect autonomous systems
in the Internet. In recent years, there have been concerns in regard to its vulnerabilities
such as IP prefix hijacking and worm ...
Energy efficient multi-target tracking in heterogeneous wireless sensor networks
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011)
Tracking multiple targets in an energy efficient way is an important challenge in wireless
sensor networks (WSNs). While most of the prior work consider tracking multiple targets as
execution of single target tracking ...
InfoKiosk: An Information Kiosk With Text-Free User Interface
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
Even though computer usage may seem very intuitive to almost everyone, they have minimum usability requirements that the user's ability to read is in the language being used. In developing countries such as India, where ...
An Energy Efficient Addressing Scheme For a Static Wireless Sensor Network
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-01-20)
In this thesis, we propose architecture for a static wireless sensor network where sensors are arranged into a zones with the nodes at each zone interconnected with nodes in sub zones. We also provide an energy efficient ...
Design and validation of a digital core for wireless communication with RFID-enabled devices
(University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011-12-15)
A digital core was designed and successfully tested to communicate with RFID-enabled devices. This digital core comprises of a communication block and a control block. The communication block is made up of two blocks, ...
A semantic framework for event-driven service composition
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-09-14)
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become a popular paradigm for designing
distributed systems where loosely coupled services (i.e. computational entities) can be
integrated seamlessly to provide complex composite ...
