Deterministic Codes for Arbitrarily Varying Multiple-Access Channels
(1988)
The Arbitrarily Varying Multiple-Access Channel (AVMAC) is a model of a multiple-access channel with unknown parameters. In 1981, Jahn characterized the capacity region of the AVMAC, assuming that the region had a nonempty ...
Quantization Systems for Hidden Markov Sources
(1989)
We consider the problem of transmitting data from a continuous- amplitude, discrete-time source over a bandlimited waveform channel using a block-structured digital communication system. Our objective is to design the ...
A Simple Problem of Flow Control: Optimality and Adaptive Implementations
(1988)
The purpose of flow control is to reduce the congestion experienced in many systems, such as data networks or computer communications systems, by restricting access in order to achieve a desirable performance level. This ...
Combined Source-Channel Coding for Bandlimited Waveform Channels
(1989)
We consider the problem of transmitting data from a continuous- ampltude, discrete-time source over a bandlimited waveform channel using a block-structured digital communication system. Our objective is to design the source ...
Performance Evaluation and Optimization of Parallel Systems with Synchronization
(1989)
This thesis considers synchronization issues such as resequencing and fork/join in parallel architectures. The discussion is carried out in the context of K parallel single server queues with general servers where jobs are ...
New Results in Discrete-Time Nonlinear Filtering
(1988)
We consider a discrete-time linear system with correlated Gaussian plant and observation noises and non-Gaussian initial condition independent of the plant and observation noises. We firstly find a solution of the filtering ...
Tandem Queueing Systems Subject to Blocking with Phase Type Servers: Analytic Solutions and Approximations
(1987)
Abstract's technical formulas were not compatible with the database used to create this booklet. To obtain a copy, please contact Maggie Virkus at (301) 454-6167, maggie@ra.src.umd.edu or write at to the Center's address ...
Learning Binaural Processing in Biological Networks
(1989)
It has always intrigued man as to how the human body performs so many complicated functions with the speed and accuracy that it does. One such task is that of sound localization in space, the ability to determine the ...
Detection and Classification of Neural Signals and Identification of Neural Networks
(1989)
This thesis aims to develop the theoretical and experimental means to study the nature of the neural networks of the nervous system. The most important parameters in a neural network are its synaptic connectivities (connection ...
Real Time Scheduling Problems with Applications to Communication Networks
(1989)
Queuing systems with time-critical customers can be encountered in packetized voice-communication systems, automated command and control systems and manufacturing systems with time-critical jobs among others. We consider ...
