Radio frequency allocation; Wireless communication systems
Recently, the need for wireless and mobile communications has grown tremendously and it is expected that the number of users to be supported will increase with high rates in the next few years. Not only the number of users, but also the required...
This dissertation presents a research whose objective is to design and develop an intrusion detection and response model for Mobile Ad hoc NETworks (MANET). Mobile ad hoc networks are infrastructure-free, pervasive and ubiquitous in nature, without...
Integration of the Internet with a Cellular Network, WMAN, WLAN, and MANET presents an exceptional promise by having co-existence of conventional WWANs/WMANs/WLANs with wireless ad hoc networks to provide ubiquitous communication. We call such...
This thesis will present various methods of trajectory generation for various types of mobile robots. Then it will progress to evaluating Robot Operating Systems (ROS’s) that can be used to control and simulate mobile robots, and it will explain...
Electronic communication is gradually becoming a larger part of today's
society. This type of communication not only encompasses ways people stay in
touch, but also how people manage or share their personal data. As this type of
communication...
In order to study the movements of autonomous mobile robots, a tool is needed to quantify those movements. A testbed is an apparatus that provides a designated space for multiple mobile robots while tracking their position in real-time. That...
This thesis will focus on the topic of Selfish Nodes within a Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANET), specifically sensor networks due to their lower power and bandwidth. The approach used is a reputation based algorithm to isolate the selfish nodes from...
This project will provide a service-oriented architecture to handle sensor data in real time as the information comes in. There are two types of sensors we're implementing into our project, mobile sensors and stationary sensors. These sensors...
