Description
The upstream transmission of bulk data files in Ethernet passive optical networks (EPONs) arises from a number of applications, such as data back-up and multimedia file upload. Existing upstream transmission approaches lead to severe delays for conventional packet traffic when best-effort file and packet traffic are mixed. I propose and evaluate an exclusive interval for bulk transfer (EIBT) transmission strategy that reserves an EIBT for file traffic in an EPON polling cycle. I optimize the duration of the EIBT to minimize a weighted sum of packet and file delays. Through mathematical delay analysis and verifying simulation, it is demonstrated that the EIBT approach preserves small delays for packet traffic while efficiently serving bulk data file transfers. Dynamic circuits are well suited for applications that require predictable service with a constant bit rate for a prescribed period of time, such as demanding e-science applications. Past research on upstream transmission in passive optical networks (PONs) has mainly considered packet-switched traffic and has focused on optimizing packet-level performance metrics, such as reducing mean delay. This study proposes and evaluates a dynamic circuit and packet PON (DyCaPPON) that provides dynamic circuits along with packet-switched service. DyCaPPON provides (i) flexible packet-switched service through dynamic bandwidth allocation in periodic polling cycles, and (ii) consistent circuit service by allocating each active circuit a fixed-duration upstream transmission window during each fixed-duration polling cycle. I analyze circuit-level performance metrics, including the blocking probability of dynamic circuit requests in DyCaPPON through a stochastic knapsack-based analysis. Through this analysis I also determine the bandwidth occupied by admitted circuits. The remaining bandwidth is available for packet traffic and I analyze the resulting mean delay of packet traffic. Through extensive numerical evaluations and verifying simulations, the circuit blocking and packet delay trade-offs in DyCaPPON is demonstrated. An extended version of the DyCaPPON designed for light traffic situation is introduced in this article as well.

Description
Voice and other circuit switched services in a LTE deployment can be based on a Circuit Switched Fall Back mechanism or on the upcoming Voice Over LTE option. Voice Over LTE option can be used with its SIP based signaling to route voice calls and other circuit switched services over the LTE's packet switched core. The main issue that is faced though is the validation of this approach before the deployment over commercial network. The test strategy devised as a result of this work will be able to visit corner scenarios and error sensitive services, so that signaling involved can be verified to ensure a robust deployment of the Voice Over LTE network. Signaling test strategy is based on the observations made during a simulated Voice Over LTE call inside the lab in a controlled environment. Emergency services offered are carefully studied to devise a robust test strategy to make sure that any service failure is avoided. Other area were the service is routed via different protocol stack layer than it normally is in a legacy circuit switched core are identified and brought into the scope of the test strategy.

Description
LTE-Advanced networks employ random access based on preambles
transmitted according to multi-channel slotted Aloha principles. The
random access is controlled through a limit W on the number of
transmission attempts and a timeout period for uniform backoff after a
collision. We model the LTE-Advanced random access system by formulating
the equilibrium condition for the ratio of the number of requests
successful within the permitted number of transmission attempts to those
successful in one attempt. We prove that for W≤8 there is only one
equilibrium operating point and for W≥9 there are three operating
points if the request load ρ is between load boundaries ρ1
and ρ2. We analytically identify these load boundaries as well as
the corresponding system operating points. We analyze the throughput and
delay of successful requests at the operating points and validate the
analytical results through simulations. Further, we generalize the
results using a steady-state equilibrium based approach and develop
models for single-channel and multi-channel systems, incorporating the
barring probability PB. Ultimately, we identify the de-correlating
effect of parameters O, PB, and Tomax and introduce the
Poissonization effect due to the backlogged requests in a slot. We
investigate the impact of Poissonization on different traffic and
conclude this thesis.

Description
LTE (Long Term Evolution) represents an emerging technology that will change how service providers backhaul user traffic to their infrastructure over IP networks. To support growing mobile bandwidth demand, an EPON backhaul infrastructure will make possible realtime high bandwidth applications. LTE backhaul planning and deployment scenarios are important factors to network success. In this thesis, we are going to study the effect of LTE backhaul on Optical network, in an attempt to interoperate Fiber and Wireless networks. This project is based on traffic forecast for the LTE networks. Traffic models are studied and gathered from literature to reflect applications accurately. Careful capacity planning of the mobile backhaul is going to bring a better experience for LTE users, in terms of bit rates and latency they can expect, while allowing the network operators to spend their funds effectively.

Description
Wireless video sensor networks has been examined and evaluated for wide range
of applications comprising of video surveillance, video tracking, computer vision, remote
live video and control. The reason behind importance of sensor nodes is its ease
of implementation, ability to operate in adverse environments, easy to troubleshoot,
repair and the high performance level. The biggest challenges with the architectural
design of wireless video sensor networks are power consumption, node failure,
throughput, durability and scalability. The whole project here is to create a gateway
node to integrate between "Internet of things" framework and wireless sensor network.
Our Flexi-Wireless Video Sensor Node Platform (WVSNP) is a low cost, low
power and compatible with traditional sensor network where the main focus was on
maximizing throughput or minimizing node deployment. My task here in this project
was to address the challenges of video power consumption for wireless video sensor
nodes. While addressing the challenges, I performed analysis of predicting the nodes
durability when it is battery operated and to choose appropriate design parameters.
I created a small optimized image to boot up Wandboard DUAL/QUAD board, capture
videos in small/big chunks from the board. The power analysis was performed
for only capturing scenarios, playback of reference videos and, live capturing and realtime
playing of videos on WVSNP player. Each sensor node in sensor network are
battery operated and runs without human intervention. Thus to predict nodes durability,
for dierent video size and format, I have collected power consumption results
and based on this I have provided some recommendation of HW/SW architecture.

Description
Fiber-Wireless (FiWi) network is the future network configuration that uses optical fiber as backbone transmission media and enables wireless network for the end user. Our study focuses on the Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation (DBA) algorithm for EPON upstream transmission. DBA, if designed properly, can dramatically improve the packet transmission delay and overall bandwidth utilization. With new DBA components coming out in research, a comprehensive study of DBA is conducted in this thesis, adding in Double Phase Polling coupled with novel Limited with Share credits Excess distribution method. By conducting a series simulation of DBAs using different components, we found out that grant sizing has the strongest impact on average packet delay and grant scheduling also has a significant impact on the average packet delay; grant scheduling has the strongest impact on the stability limit or maximum achievable channel utilization. Whereas the grant sizing only has a modest impact on the stability limit; the SPD grant scheduling policy in the Double Phase Polling scheduling framework coupled with Limited with Share credits Excess distribution grant sizing produced both the lowest average packet delay and the highest stability limit.

Description
With internet traffic being bursty in nature, Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation(DBA) Algorithms have always been very important for any broadband access network to utilize the available bandwidth effciently. It is no different for Passive Optical Networks(PON), which are networks based on fiber optics in the physical layer of TCP/IP stack or OSI model, which in turn increases the bandwidth in the upper layers. The work in this thesis covers general description of basic DBA Schemes and mathematical derivations that have been established in research. We introduce a Novel Survey Topology that classifes DBA schemes based on their functionality. The novel perspective of classification will be useful in determining which scheme will best suit consumer's needs. We classify DBA as Direct, Intelligent and Predictive back on its computation method and we are able to qualitatively describe their delay and throughput bounds. Also we describe a recently developed DBA Scheme, Multi-thread polling(MTP) used in LRPON and describes the different viewpoints and issues and consequently introduce a novel technique Parallel Polling that overcomes most of issues faced in MTP and that promises better delay performance for LRPON.

Description
The commercial semiconductor industry is gearing up for 5G communications in the 28GHz and higher band. In order to maintain the same relative receiver sensitivity, a larger number of antenna elements are required; the larger number of antenna elements is, in turn, driving semiconductor development. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new method of dividing wireless communication protocols (such as the 802.11a/b/g
and cellular UMTS MAC protocols) across multiple unreliable communication links using a new link layer communication model in concert with a smart antenna aperture design referred to as Vector Antenna. A vector antenna is a ‘smart’ antenna system and as any smart antenna aperture, the design inherently requires unique microwave component performance as well as Digital Signal Processing (DSP) capabilities. This performance and these capabilities are further enhanced with a patented wireless protocol stack capability.
