Multicast Routing Algorithms And Failure Analyses For Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Networks, Jae Soong Lee
Multicast Routing Algorithms And Failure Analyses For Low Earth Orbit Satellite Communication Networks, Jae Soong Lee
Theses and Dissertations
In the rapidly changing environment of mobile communications, the importance of the mobile satellite (e,g,, low earth orbit satellites (LEOsats)) networks will increase due to their global visibility and connection. Multicasting is an effective communication method in terms of frequency spectrum usage for a LEO network. It is devised to provide lower network traffic (i,e,, one-to-many transmissions). This research examines the system performance of two dissimilar terrestrially-based multicasting protocols: the Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) and the On Demand Multicast Routing Protocol (ODMRP). These two protocols are simulated in large group membership density and in the presence of satellite …
A Formal Object Model For Layered Networks To Support Verification And Simulation, Rasha M. B. E. Morsi
A Formal Object Model For Layered Networks To Support Verification And Simulation, Rasha M. B. E. Morsi
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
This work presents an abstract formal model of the interconnection structure of the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI-RM) developed using Object-Oriented modeling principles permitting it to serve as a re-usable platform in supporting the development of simulations and formal methods applied to layered network protocols. A simulation of the object model using MODSIM III was developed and Prototype Verification System (PVS) was used to show the applicability of the object model to formal methods by formally specifying and verifying a Global Systems for Mobile communications (GSM) protocol. This application has proved to be successful in two aspects. The first …
Analysis Of Ultra Wide Band (Uwb) Technology For An Indoor Geolocation And Physiological Monitoring System, Cengiz Alabacak
Analysis Of Ultra Wide Band (Uwb) Technology For An Indoor Geolocation And Physiological Monitoring System, Cengiz Alabacak
Theses and Dissertations
The goal of this research is to analyze the utility of UWB for indoor geolocation and to evaluate a prototype system, which will send information detailing a person’s position and physiological status to a command center. In a real world environment, geolocation and physiological status information needs to be sent to a command and control center that may be located several miles away from the operational environment. This research analyzes and characterizes the UWB signal in the various operational environments associated with indoor geolocation. Additionally, "typical usage scenarios" for the interaction between UWB and other devices are also tested and …
Wavelet Domain Communication System (Wdcs): Packet-Based Wavelet Spectral Estimation And M-Ary Signaling, Marion Jay F. Lee
Wavelet Domain Communication System (Wdcs): Packet-Based Wavelet Spectral Estimation And M-Ary Signaling, Marion Jay F. Lee
Theses and Dissertations
A recently proposed Wavelet Domain Communication System (WDCS) using transform domain processing demonstrated excellent interference avoidance capability under adverse environmental conditions. This work extends previous results by: 1) incorporating a wavelet packet decomposition technique, 2) demonstrating M-Ary signaling capability, and 3) providing increased adaptivity over a larger class of interference signals. The newly proposed packet-based WDCS is modeled and its performance characterized using MATLAB®. In addition, the WDCS response to two scenarios simulating Doppler effects and physical separation of transceivers are obtained. The fundamental metric for analysis and performance evaluation is bit error rate (Pb). Relative to …
A Direct Sequence Code-Division Multiple-Access Local Area Network Model, James R. Rapallo Jr.
A Direct Sequence Code-Division Multiple-Access Local Area Network Model, James R. Rapallo Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
The United States Air Force relies heavily on computer networks for every-day operations. The medium access control (MAC) protocol currently used by most local area (LAN) permits a single station to access the network at a time (e.g. CSMA/CD or Ethernet). This limits network throughput to, at most, the maximum transmission rate of a single node with overhead neglected. Significant delays are observed when a LAN is overloaded by multiple users attempting to access the common medium. In CSMA/CD, collisions are detected and the data sent by the nodes involved are delayed and transmitted at a later time. The retransmission …
Integrated Manet Mutual Authentication System, Jason T. Ballah
Integrated Manet Mutual Authentication System, Jason T. Ballah
Theses and Dissertations
The Integrated MANET Mutual Authentication System (IMMAS) provides implied mutual authentication of all routing and data traffic within a Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) by combining Elliptic Curve Cryptography, a public-key cryptosystem, with the Dynamic Source Routing (DSR) Protocol. IMMAS provides security by effectively hiding network topology from adversaries while reducing the potential for, among other things, traffic analysis and data tampering, all while providing a graceful degradation for each of the authentication components. Current research in MANETs tends to focus primarily on routing issues leaving topics such as security and authentication for future research. IMMAS focuses on achieving a …
Performance Analysis Of A Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithm In A Circuit-Switched Communications Network, Timothy M. Schwamb
Performance Analysis Of A Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation Algorithm In A Circuit-Switched Communications Network, Timothy M. Schwamb
Theses and Dissertations
Military communications networks typically employ a gateway multiplexer to aggregate all communications traffic onto a single link. These multiplexers typically use a static bandwidth allocation method via time-division multiplexing (TDM). Inefficiencies occur when a high-bandwidth circuit, e.g., a video teleconferencing circuit, is relatively inactive rendering a considerable portion of the aggregate bandwidth wasted while inactive. Dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) reclaims unused bandwidth from circuits with low utilization and reallocates it to circuits with higher utilization without adversely affecting queuing delay. The proposed DBA algorithm developed here measures instantaneous utilization by counting frames arriving during the transmission time of a single …
Fabrication Techniques For Micro-Optical Device Arrays, Ryan D. Conk
Fabrication Techniques For Micro-Optical Device Arrays, Ryan D. Conk
Theses and Dissertations
Micro-optical devices are vital components of conventional military data storage, sensor, and communication systems. Two types of micro-optical device arrays exist: individually addressable and matrix addressable. The matrix addressable array has a drastically reduced number of metal lines and can potentially be fabricated into large, dense (over 1k elements) arrays. Such arrays are expected to enable the development of extremely high bandwidth optical interconnect systems for future military applications including optical computing and short-haul fiber optical communication systems. I investigate new fabrication techniques for the assembly of dense matrix-addressed arrays of micro-optical devices such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers. Using a …
Adaptive Radio Resource Management For 2.5g Cellular Networks, Ken Murray
Adaptive Radio Resource Management For 2.5g Cellular Networks, Ken Murray
Theses
Recent years have seen a dramatic increase in demand for mobile communication services and with the introduction of 2.5G services such as general packet radio service, this trend is expected to increase further. These new services will introduce highly dynamic tele-traffic variations due to the inherent variability in resource usage of the new data services. The net effect will be considerable increase in load on the available radio resources. The currently employed fixed channel allocation scheme lacks the flexibility to support such traffic variations. A plethora of dynamic channel allocation schemes have been proposed in the past in an effort …
