Adaptive bandwidth allocation in future generation wireless networks for multiple classes of usersAbu Ghazaleh, Haitham 13 February 2006 (has links)
Future generation wireless networks are envisioned to provide ubiquitous networking to a wide number of mobile users, promising them the ability to access the various data networks anywhere and anytime. Such networks have motivated the research into efficient management and allocation of the wireless network's limited resources. Heterogeneity also exists amongst the subscribers, i.e. there are those who are willing to spend a little extra on their subscriptions in the prospect of obtaining a better level of service.
This work proposes a framework for efficient resource management, while satisfying the heterogeneous QoS demands of the different subscribers. Part of the proposed framework was used to generate mathematical models for the purpose of analyzing the behavior of the system under two different resource management schemes. / February 2006

Integration of Wireless Sensor Networks Into a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Multimedia Network.Molineux, Jeffrey S. 25 July 2012
As the primary military operating environment shifts from the traditional battlefields to a more diverse urban environment, the use of remote wireless sensors is increasing. Traditional development and procurement methods are not capable of meeting the changing requirements and time constraints of commanders. To minimize the time to develop and deploy new systems, commercial solutions must be examined. The focus of this thesis is on the integration of Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components into a wireless multimedia sensor network. Because components from multiple vendors were utilized, different operating systems and transmission protocols had to be integrated across the network. The network must be capable of providing a varying Quality of Service (QoS) level depending on the active sensors in the network. To ensure the QoS level is met, an adaptive QoS algorithm was implemented in the wireless IEEE 802.11 router which monitored and measured the outgoing transmission interface; from which, it determined the latency and transmission jitter. Based on the results, the program can adjust the bandwidth as necessary. Finally, a user interface is developed that allows end users to monitor the network. The performance of the network is based on the end-to-end throughput, latency and jitter exhibited by the network.

A Self-compensated, Bandwidth Tracking Semi-digital PLL Design in 65nm CMOS Technol-ogyYogesh, Mitesh January 2012 (has links)
In a conventional charge-pump based PLL design, the loop parameters such as the band-width, jitter performance, charge-pump current, pull-in range among others govern the ar-chitecture and implementation details of the PLL. Different loop parameter specificationschange with a change in the reference frequency and inmost cases, requires careful re-designof some of the PLL blocks. This thesis describes the implementation of a semi-digital PLLfor high bandwidth applications, which is self-compensated, low-power and exhibits band-width tracking for all reference frequencies between 40 MHz and 1.6 GHz in 65nm CMOStechnology.This design can be used for a wide range of reference frequencies without redesigning anyblock. The bandwidth can be fixed to some fraction of the reference frequency during designtime. In this thesis, the PLL is designed to make the bandwidth track 5% of the referencefrequency. Since this PLL is self-compensated, the PLL performance and the bandwidthremains same over PVT corners.

Adaptive Bandwidth Reservation and Scheduling for Efficient Telemedicine Traffic Transmission Over Wireless Cellular NetworksQiao, Lu 08 1900 (has links)
<p> Telemedicine traffic transmission over wireless cellular networks has gained in importance during the last few years. Most of the current research in the field has focused on software and hardware implementations for telemedicine transmission, without discussing the case of simultaneous transmission of both urgent telemedicine traffic and regular multimedia traffic over the network.</p> <p> Due to the fact that telemedicine traffic carries critical information regarding the patients' condition, it is vitally important that this traffic has highest transmission priority in comparison to all other types of traffic in the cellular network. However, the need for expedited and correct transmission of telemedicine traffic calls for a guaranteed bandwidth to telemedicine users. This creates a tradeoff between the satisfaction of the very strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of telemedicine traffic and the loss of the guaranteed bandwidth in the numerous cases when it is left unused, due to the infrequent nature of telemedicine traffic. This waste of the bandwidth may lead to a lack of sufficient bandwidth for regular traffic, hence degrading its QoS.</p> <p> To resolve this complex problem, in this thesis, we propose a) an adaptive bandwidth reservation scheme based on road map information and on users' mobility, and b) a fair scheduling scheme for video traffic transmission over wireless cellular networks. The proposed combination of the two schemes, which is evaluated over a hexagonal cellular structure, is shown to achieve high channel bandwidth utilization while offering full priority to telemedicine traffic.</p> / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc)

Adaptiva metoder för systemidentifiering med inriktning mot direkt viktoptimering / Adaptive Bandwidth Selection for Nonlinear System Identification with Focus on Direct Weight OptimizationGillberg, Tony January 2010 (has links)
<p>Direkt viktoptimering (Direct Weight Optimization, DWO) är en ickeparamterisk systemidentifieringsmetod. DWO bygger på att man skattar ett funktionsvärde i en viss punkt genom en viktad summa av mätvärden, där vikterna optimeras fram. Det faktum att DWO har en inparameter som man måste veta i förväg leder till att man på något sätt vill skatta denna inparameter. Det finns många sätt man kan göra denna skattning på men det centrala i denna uppsats är att skatta inparametern lokalt. Fördelen med detta är att metoden anpassar sig om till exempel systemet ändrar beteende från att variera långsamt till att variera snabbare. Denna typ av metoder brukar kallas adaptiva metoder.Det finns flera metoder för att skatta en inparameter lokalt och anpassningen till DWO är redan klar för ett fåtal som lämpar sig bra. Det är dock inte undersökt vilken av dessa metoder som ger det bästa resultatet för just DWO. Syftet med denna uppsats är alltså att ta reda på hur man lokalt kan skatta en inparameter till DWO på bästa sätt och om DWO är en bra grund att basera en adaptiv metod på.Det har visat sig att DWO kanske är för känslig för en lokalt vald inparameter för att vara en bra grund att basera en adaptiv metod på. Däremot utmärker sig en av metoderna för att skatta inparametern genom att vara mycket bättre än de andra metoderna när den kanske inte borde vara det. Varför den är så bra kan vara ett bra ämne för vidare forskning.</p> / <p>Direct Weight Optimization (DWO) is a nonparametric system identification meth\-od. In DWO the value of a function in a certain point is estimated by a weighted sum of measured values. The weights are obtained as a solution to a convex optimization problem. DWO has a design parameter which has to be chosen or estimated a priori. There are many ways to estimate this parameter. The main focus of this thesis is to estimate this parameter locally. The advantage of estimating the parameter locally is that the estimate will adapt if the system changes behavior from slowly varying to rapidly varying. Estimation methods of this type are usually called adaptive estimation methods.There are a number of adaptive estimation methods and the adaptation of some of these methods to DWO has already been done. There are however no evaluation studies done. The goal with this thesis is therefore to find out how to estimate the parameter in DWO in the best way and to find out whether DWO is a good base for an adaptive method.It turned out that DWO might be too sensitive to local changes in the design parameter to be a good base for an adaptive method. However, one of the adaptive estimation methods stands out from the rest because it is much better than the other methods when it, perhaps, should not. Why this method is good might be a good subject for further research.</p>

Design and Implementation of Low Jitter Clock Generators in Communication and Aerospace SystemJung, Seok Min, Jung, Seok Min January 2016 (has links)
The high demands on data processing and bandwidth in wireless/wireline communication and aerospace systems have been pushing forward circuit design techniques to their limitations to obtain maximum performances with respect to high operating frequency, low noise, small area, and low power consumption. Clock generators are essential components in numerous circuits, for instance, frequency synthesizers for high speed transceivers, clock sources for microprocessors, noise suppressed zero-delay buffers in system-on-chips (SOCs), and clock and data recovery (CDR) systems. Furthermore, clock generators are required to provide low jitter and high precision clocks in fully integrated image reject receivers and an ultra-wide tunability in time-interleaved applications. We explore several circuit design techniques and implementations of low jitter clock generator in this thesis. Firstly, a low jitter and wide range digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) operating 8 ~ 16 GHz is illustrated using a dual path digital loop filter (DLF). In order to mitigate the phase jitter in the phase detector (PD), we implement the separate loop filter and the output is not affected by the proportional path. For the stable operation, a 4 ~ 8 GHz linear phase interpolator (PI) is implemented in the proportional path. In addition, we design a low phase noise digitally controlled oscillator (DCO) using inductive tuning technique based on switched mutual coupling for wide operating range. The proposed DPLL implemented in 65 nm CMOS technology shows an outstanding figure-of-merit (FOM) over other state-of-art DPLLs in term of root mean square (RMS) and deterministic jitter (DJ). Secondly, we discuss a radiation-hardened-by-design (RHBD) PLL using a feedback voltage-controlled oscillator (FBVCO) in order to reduce DJ due to the radiation attack on the control voltage. Different from a conventional open loop VCO, the proposed FBVCO has a negative control loop and is composed of an open loop VCO, an integrator and a switched-capacitor resistor. Since the input to output of the FBVCO has a low-pass characteristic, any disturbance on the control voltage should be filtered and cannot affect the output phase. We are able to reduce the output frequency variation approximately 75% compared to the conventional PLL when the radiation pulse strikes on the control voltage. The proposed RHBD PLL is implemented in 130 nm and consumes 6.2 mW at 400 MHz operating frequency. Thirdly, a novel adaptive-bandwidth PLL is illustrated to optimize the jitter performance in a wide operating frequency range. We achieve a constant ratio of bandwidth and reference frequency with a closed loop VCO and an overdamping system with a charge pump (CP) current proportional to the VCO frequency for the adaptive-bandwidth technique. The proposed adaptive-bandwidth PLL presents 0.6% RMS jitter over the entire frequency range from 320 MHz to 2.56 GHz, which is 70% smaller than the conventional fixed-bandwidth PLL. Finally, we have developed a new feedback DCO to achieve a linear gain of DCO so that the DPLL can provide stability and a wide operating range in different process variations. Due to the negative feedback loop of the proposed DCO, the feedback DCO presents a linear gain from an input digital word to an output frequency. Moreover, we can control the bandwidth of the feedback DCO to optimize the total output phase noise in DPLL. In simulation, we can obtain 17 MHz/LSB of the peak-to-peak gain of the feedback DCO, which is reduced 96% over the conventional DCO.
