Virtual Wired Transmission Scheme - A Novel Technique For Efficient Mobile Adhoc Networks, Manikya Vinay Rali
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
This thesis proposes a method called virtual wired transmission scheme for ad hoc networks. The scheme is an efficient method to improve network performance parameters such as energy efficiency, capacity, interference, network throughput, etc. Performance parameters improvement can be done at different layers of the network architecture for mobile ad hoc networks. However most of the research efforts are concentrated on Physical, MAC and Network layers. In this thesis, a MAC protocol with a major MAC layer modification is proposed in combination with the usage of directional antennas, developing a novel method called virtual wired transmission scheme. In virtual wired …

Unidirectional Cordic For Efficient Computation Of Trigonometric And Hyperbolic Functions, Satish Ravichandran
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
CORDIC (Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer) is an iterative algorithm to compute values of trigonometric, logarithmic and transcendental functions by performing vector rotations, which can be implemented with only shift and add operations in a digital system. CORDIC algorithms are extensively used in the areas of digital signal processing, digital image processing and artificial neural networks. A new technique, named unidirectional CORDIC, for efficient computation of trigonometric and hyperbolic functions is presented in this thesis. In the conventional CORDIC algorithm, the vector rotations are performed in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions, but in the unidirectional CORDIC the vectors are rotated only …

Analysis Of Error Recovery Effects On Digital Flight Control Systems, Arturo Tejada Ruiz
Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations
Life-critical, real-time applications like flight-by-wire aircraft, rely on closed-loop digital control systems and fault-tolerant computer systems to reliably achieve the desired operation. The computer systems, however, may be affected by random hardware/software faults induced mainly by environmental conditions such as high intensity radiated fields (HIRF) and lightning. These harsh electromagnetic environments are known to induce common mode faults (CMF) in aircraft electronic systems, which disrupt fault-tolerant provisions and possibly affect the operation of the digital control system. Current flight-by-wire aircraft have computer systems that can neither detect CMF nor recover from them. New systems are under investigation that can recover …
