Sender cover traffic to counter an improved Statistical Disclosure Attack

Lu, Huabo (Wichita State University, 2011-07)

The statistical disclosure attack (SDA) is quite an effective method for attackers to go against an anonymity system and to reveal the information behind it. It targets at a particular anonymity system user, tries to ...
Service differentiation via cooperative MAC protocol (SD-MAC)

Tunc, Muharrem Ali (2005-12)

With the recent advances in wireless communications and networking area, it has been a great challenge for researchers to improve a medium access protocol for providing an efficient service differentiation in wireless ad ...
Signal parameter estimation methods: The non-eigenvector based approach

Gami, Hirenkumar (Wichita State University, 2009-12)

An idea behind this dissertation is the estimation of signal parameters of a radio channel snapshot. The focal point here to utilize the high resolution estimation capabilities of subspace based methods in association ...
Single network adaptive critic aided nonlinear dynamic inversion

Shivanapura Lakshmikanth, Geethalakshmi (Wichita State University, 2012-05)

Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) offers a systematic method of optimal control design for nonlinear systems. Of the many architectures based on ADP, Adaptive Critic (AC) is the most popular. An AC consists of two ...
Space frequency block coded OFDM systems with adaptive modulation and improved antenna selection

Komatireddy, Murali Krishna Reddy (2005-12)

This thesis proposes a new antenna selection scheme for the conventional space-frequency block code (SFBC) - orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system using adaptive modulation. In the proposed scheme, the ...
Stabilization of an arbitrary order transfer function with time delay using PI, PD and PID controllers

Sujoldžić, Sead (2005-12)

This thesis is concerned with developing a procedure for stabilizing a linear time-invariant plant of an arbitrary order with time delay utilizing proportional-integral (PI), proportional-derivative (PD) and proportional ...
Statistical approach for predicting remaining life of crosslinked polyethylene insulated cables

Luitel, Mahesh (2005-12)

This study focuses on developing new remaining life model of the Cross linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulated medium voltage cables that are in use for hot and dry climate. Cross linked polyethylene insulating material ...
Steady-state and transient-state analyses of renewable energy inverter

Tamtam, Perlekar (Wichita State University, 2012-05)

Distributed resources (DR), such as residential small wind turbines and solar cells, generate electrical energy in the form of a direct current (DC). An inverter is needed to convert this DC power into an alternating current ...
Stochastic control of unified decentralized singularly perturbed systems

Hyun, Inha (2006-05)

The design of a stochastic optimal controller using state feedback and output feedback is developed for unified, decentralized, singularly perturbed systems with Gaussian noise. To filter out the external noises contained ...
Study of energy efficiency in portable devices using cloud computing: case of multimedia applications

Solur Virupakshaiah, Girish (Wichita State University, 2010-12)

Energy efficiency is considered an important argument when designing information and communication technology solutions. Today the use of portable devices to receive valuable services while on the move is immense. Advancements ...
Study of energy efficiency on portable devices using cloud computing: the case of office productivity applications

Kothuru, Hemanth J. S. (Wichita State University, 2010-12)

Today, there is an exponential growth in the use of laptops for computing and communication. However, the battery life of laptops is only a few hours, at best. Furthermore, studies indicate that laptops contribute to ...
Study of steady-states in distributed data caching in ad hoc networks

Taylor, Julinda Lyn (Wichita State University, 2012-05)

There has been extensive research on cooperative distributed data caching in ad hoc networks. However, most of the work has focused on how to reduce the average delay of requests and improve the packet delivery ratio, ...
A system-wide anonymity metric

Li, Rong (Wichita State University, 2011-07)

In this thesis we present a critical analysis of the system-wide anonymity metric by Edman et al. [1], which is based on the permanent value of a doubly-stochastic matrix. From the view of intuitive understanding, we ...
