Service Oriented Networking For Multimedia Applications In Broadband Wireless Networks, Ehsan Haghani Dogaheh Jan 2010

Service Oriented Networking For Multimedia Applications In Broadband Wireless Networks, Ehsan Haghani Dogaheh

Dissertations

Extensive efforts have been focused on deploying broadband wireless networks. Providing mobile users with high speed network connectivity will let them run various multimedia applications on their wireless devices. In order to successfully deploy and operate broadband wireless networks, it is crucial to design efficient methods for supporting various services and applications in broadband wireless networks. Moreover, the existing "access-oriented" networking solutions are not able to fully address all the issues of supporting various applications with different quality of service requirements. Thus, "service-oriented" networking has been recently proposed and has gained much attention.

This dissertation discusses the challenges and possible …


Cross-Layer Design For Wireless Sensor Relay Networks, Lichuan Liu May 2006

Cross-Layer Design For Wireless Sensor Relay Networks, Lichuan Liu

Dissertations

In recent years, the idea of wireless sensor networks has gathered a great deal of attention. A distributed wireless sensor network may have hundreds of small sensor nodes. Each individual sensor contains both processing and communication elements and is designed in some degree to monitor the environmental events specified by the end user of the network. Information about the environment is gathered by sensors and delivered to a remote collector.

This research conducts an investigation with respect to the energy efficiency and the cross-layer design in wireless sensor networks. Motivated by the multipath utilization and transmit diversity capability of space-time …
