This paper addresses the channel estimation problem for slow frequency-selective fading channel using training sequence and maximum likelihood (ML) approach. <p>Traditional works assumed symbol period spaced delay-tapped ...

This paper presents a theoretical framework based on Bayesian decision theory for analyzing recently reported results on implicit coscheduling of parallel applications on clusters of workstations. Using probabilistic ...

Stability issues in a connectionless, one-hop queueing system featuringservers with overlapping service regions (e.g. a Mode Select (Mode S) Radarcommunications network or part of an Aeronautical Telecommunications Network ...

This dissertation is devoted to the design and analysis of synchronization and channel parameter estimation schemes in wireless communications. Intrigued by the observation that the information is conveyed through wireless ...

This paper considers a fingerprinting system where$2^{n R_W}$ distinct Gaussian fingerprints are embedded inrespective copies of an $n$-dimensional i.i.d. Gaussian image.Copies are distributed to customers in digital form, ...

In this thesis, we study risk-sensitive cost minimization in semi-Markov decision processes. The main thrust of the thesis concerns the minimization of average risk sensitive costs over the infinite horizon. <p>Existing ...

The Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) plays a pivotal role in parameter estimation theory, such as timing, frequency and phase synchronization. Therefore, it receives considerable attention in the literature. This paper concerns ...

Multirate multicasting, where the receivers of a multicast group can receive service at different rates, is an efficient mode of data delivery for many real-time applications.<p> In this paper, we address the problem of ...

Providing accurate estimates of performance in large heterogeneousinternetworks, for the purposes of network design and planning andfor service provisioning has become a critical problem. This is dueto the heterogeneity ...

In multirate multicasting, different users (receivers) within the same multicastgroup could receive service at different rates, depending on user requirementsand network congestion level. Compared to unirate multicasting, ...
