Capacity Results for Interference Networks and Nested Cut-Set Bound
(University of Waterloo, 2016-09-20)In this thesis, a full characterization of the sum-rate capacity for degraded interference networks with any number of transmitters, any number of receivers, and any possible distribution of messages among transmitters and ... -
Capacity Scaling and Optimal Operation of Wireless Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2008-07-24)How much information can be transferred over a wireless network and what is the optimal strategy for the operation of such network? This thesis tries to answer some of these questions from an information theoretic ... -
Capacity-Achieving Distributions of Gaussian Multiple Access Channel with Peak Constraints
(University of Waterloo, 2013-01-21)Characterizing probability distribution function for the input of a communication channel that achieves the maximum possible data rate is one of the most fundamental problems in the field of information theory. In his ... -
Cardinality Constrained Robust Optimization Applied to a Class of Interval Observers
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-25)Observers are used in the monitoring and control of dynamical systems to deduce the values of unmeasured states. Designing an observer requires having an accurate model of the plant — if the model parameters are characterized ... -
Cardinality Constrained Robust Optimization Applied to a Class of Interval Observers
(IEEE, 2014-07-21)We propose a linear programming-based method of interval observer design for systems with uncertain but bounded model parameters and initial conditions. We assume that each uncertain parameter in the system model is bounded ... -
