Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technology has been developed rapidly during the past few years. Due to its superiorities on robustness and scalability, P2P technology has been viewed as a promising networking technology and many studies have been done on how to improve P2P technology. P2P file distribution, as a major application of P2P technology, has also been studied a lot. The amount of time required for all peers to get the file has been considered as a major optimization metric, which we refer as the file distribution time. Researchers have proposed protocols to minimize the file distribution time for different cases. However, most of the existing works are based on the single-file scenario. On the other hand, studies show that in a file sharing application, users may download multiple files at the same time. In this thesis, we analyze the file distribution time for the distribution of multiple files in both wired and wireless networks. We develop explicit expressions for lower bound of time needed to distribute multiple files in a heterogeneous P2P fluid model. Unlike the single-file scenario, we demonstrate that the theoretical lower bound in multi-file scenario is not always achievable. With a comprehensive consideration of all the configurations, we develop algorithms to partition the bandwidth of all the peers for a particular file such that the file distribution time is optimal. / published_or_final_version / Electrical and Electronic Engineering / Master / Master of Philosophy

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / For the last 30 years Magnetic Tape Systems have been the primary means of recording data from airborne instrumentation systems. Increasing data rates and harsh environmental requirements have often exceeded the ability of tape-based systems to keep pace with technology. This paper examines operational and data reduction benefits when employing the IRIG 106 Chapter 10 Solid State Recorder Standard introduced by the Range Commanders Council (RCC) Telemetry Group (TG). This paper provides method of installation and retrofit of legacy recorders in F16, F15, A-10, and B-52 aircraft.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 21, 2002 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / For the last 30 years Magnetic Tape Systems have been the primary means of recording data from airborne instrumentation systems. Increasing data rates and harsh environmental requirements have often exceeded the ability of tape-based systems to keep pace with platform technology. This paper examines operational and data reduction benefits when employing the IRIG 106 Chapter 10 Solid State Recorder Standard introduced by the Range Commanders Council (RCC) Telemetry Group (TG). The Standard and this paper address media formatting, data formatting for a variety of different data types, data downloading, and data security, along with serial command and control and discrete command and control of the recorder. This paper also addresses software data processing and raw data reconstruction of Chapter 10 data.
