A Monetary Mechanism for Stabilizing Cooperative Data Exchange with Selfish Users
(2018-12-12)In this research, we address the stability issues in Cooperative Data Exchange (CDE), one of the central problems in wireless network coding. We consider a setting in which the users are selfish, i.e., would like to maximize ... -
A Packet Scheduling Mechanism for Wireless Peer-to-Peer Content Distribution
(2013-11-26)This thesis studies the problem of content distribution in wireless peer-to-peer networks with selfish nodes. In this problem a group of wireless nodes need to exchange a set of files over a lossless broadcast channel. ... -
Application of network coding for VLSI routing
(2009-05-15)This thesis studies the applications of the network coding technique for intercon- nect optimization and improving the routability of Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) designs. The goal of the routing process is to connect ... -
Design and Implementation of Physical Layer Network Coding Protocols
(2010-10-12)There has recently been growing interest in using physical layer network coding techniques to facilitate information transfer in wireless relay networks. The physical layer network coding technique takes advantage of the ... -
Direct Information Exchange in Wireless Networks: A Coding Perspective
(2011-10-21)The rise in the popularity of smartphones such as Blackberry and iPhone creates a strain on the world's mobile networks. The extensive use of these mobile devices leads to increasing congestion and higher rate of node ... -
Hardware Prototyping of Two-Way Relay Systems
(2012-10-19)In this thesis, I conduct the hardware prototyping of a two-way relay system using the National Instruments FlexRIO hardware platform. First of all, I develop several practical mechanisms to solve the critical synchronization ... -
Improving Network Reliability: Analysis, Methodology, and Algorithms
(2010-07-14)The reliability of networking and communication systems is vital for the nation's economy and security. Optical and cellular networks have become a critical infrastructure and are indispensable in emergency situations. ... -
Network and Index Coding with Application to Robust and Secure Communications
(2011-02-22)Since its introduction in the year 2000 by Ahlswede et al., the network coding paradigm has revolutionized the way we understand information flows in networks. Traditionally, information transmitted in a communication ... -
Network Coding in Distributed, Dynamic, and Wireless Environments: Algorithms and Applications
(2012-02-14)The network coding is a new paradigm that has been shown to improve throughput, fault tolerance, and other quality of service parameters in communication networks. The basic idea of the network coding techniques is to ... -
On the Fundamental Limits and Symmetric Designs for Distributed Information Systems
(2016-12-12)Many multi-terminal communication networks, content delivery networks, cache networks, and distributed storage systems can be modeled as a broadcast network. An explicit characterization of the capacity region of the general ...
