The electric power system has experienced many changes in the last decade. The notable changes are deregulation of the industry, penetration of renewable energy sources, demand side management, stricter regulations on ...
H2 control of singularly perturbed aircraft system

Zaveri, Viral Shailesh (Wichita State University, 2011-07)

The objective of this research is to develop an analytical approach to control two-time-scale systems operating under certain noise parameters. This approach addresses two important design criteria: augmentation of large-scale ...
A hybrid approach to forecasting wind power using Artificial Neural Networks and Numeric Weather Prediction

Pfeifer, Mark B. (Wichita State University, 2011-07)

A methodology to forecast wind power production 24 hours ahead is developed using a hybrid approach of an artificial neural network (ANN) and numerical weather prediction (NWP). The methodology is simple and designed to ...
I-ALOHA: intelligent ALOHA protocol for efficient RFID tag reading

Alavi, Khubaib Ahmad (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) has made a revolutionary mark in identifying and tracking number of different industry objects, which has reduced the manual tracking to much higher extent. The key problem which is ...
I-broadcast: broadcasting scheme for vehicular ad-hoc networks

Srikumar, Aravind (Wichita State University, 2010-05)

With the rapid development of wireless technology and the wide availability of low cost wireless devices, the domain of mobile computer networks has expanded in the recent past. Mobile ad-hoc networks promise to be the ...
Image change detection using wireless sensor networks

Yelisetty, Sree Ramya (2007-05)

Change detection in images is of great interest because of its relevance in many applications such as video surveillance. This thesis presents the underlying theoretical problem of distributed image change detection using ...
Image registration in low resolution visual sensor networks

Balasubramanian, Harini (Wichita State University, 2007-12)

Image registration is the process of integrating data from different coordinate systems into one coordinate system. It is of great interest in video surveillance because of its capability to combine images and generate a ...
Impact of calling locations on energy consumption of VoIP over wireless LAN

Devalla, Aashish Raj (Wichita State University, 2009-12)

Currently there are a wide range of applications for mobile devices. However, mobile devices with an inbuilt wireless interface card are known to have very small operating life. Energy plays a vital role especially for the ...
The impact of MAC contention and route failures on burst losses in saturated ad hoc networks

Zaman, Shahid (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

Medium access contention and route failures in the saturated wireless ad hoc networks increase the average number of transmission attempts required to successfully deliver a frame. MAC contention and route failures also ...
The impact of MAC service-time and route discovery time on packet queuing delay in saturated ad hoc networks

Siddiqui, Usman Ghani (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

This thesis presents a quantitative analysis of packet queuing delays in saturated DCF networks. It presents the relationship between medium access control (MAC) delays, routing delays, and the packet queuing delays, in ...
Implementation of a channel selection algorithm using cognitive radios

Cabrejos, David (Wichita State University, 2011-05)

With the increase of wireless devices, the wireless spectrum is becoming overloaded causing users to experience delays and performance degradation. Typically, a device will start transmitting data on a frequency and ...
