Wireless data broadcasting is a promising way of disseminating information to a massive number of clients in an asymmetric communication environment where client-to-server communication is infeasible. An important issue ...

A discussion of the extensions or modifications required to integrate ATM into hybrid networks, i.e. seamlessly interconnected terrestrial and space, wireline and wireless networks will be presented. In this context, the ...

A new methodology for the speed ratio analysis of epicyclic-type transmission mechanisms is presented. First, the kinematic characteristics associated with various operation modes of fundamental geared entities are ...

As the digital signal processing technology advances, the use of adaptive arrays to combat multipath fading and to reduce interference becomes increasingly valuable as a means of adding capacity to mobile communications. ...

Ceramic materials are ideal candidates for dental restorative applications for their color, texture, and mechanical properties which closely resemble those of the human enamel. However, due to the inherent brittleness of ...

In this dissertation we present extensions of Rice's formula for the expected zero-crossing rate of a Gaussian process to some useful non-Gaussian cases. In particular, we extend Rice's formula to the class of stationary ...

This paper describes experiments conducted over ACTS that were motivated by the commercial potential of low-cost receive-only satellite terminals operating in a hybrid network environment. The first experiment tested highly ...

We present a system call which enable directing high performance data transfers with in-kernel streams. The streams are defined and run using abstract data types called Cues, formed over the Unix file subsystem. The system ...

This paper presents classes of rate-compatible trellis codes designed for channels with flat, slow Rayleigh fading. The codes thus described are ﲭultiple TCM (MTCM) codes as proposed by Divsalar and Simon - i.e., codes in ...

In this paper, we use merely continuous feedback to robustly stabilize a class of parameterized family of linear systems in the plane. We introduce a new interpolation method that enables us to construct a robust stabilizer ...
