Linear Interactive Encoding and Decoding Schemes for Lossless Source Coding with Decoder Only Side Information
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)Near lossless source coding with side information only at the decoder, was first considered by Slepian and Wolf in 1970s, and rediscovered recently due to applications such as sensor network and distributed video coding. ... -
Linear Macro-Micro Positioning System Using a Shape Memory Alloy Actuator
(University of Waterloo, 2004)The use of high-precision automated equipment is steadily increasing due in part to the progressively smaller sizes of electronic circuits. Currently, piezoelectric transducers (piezos) dominate as the actuation device ... -
Linear MMSE Receivers for Interference Suppression & Multipath Diversity Combining in Long-Code DS-CDMA Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2003)This thesis studies the design and implementation of a linear minimum mean-square error (LMMSE) receiver in asynchronous bandlimited direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems that employ long-code ... -
Linearizing Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers Using an Analog Predistortion Technique
(University of Waterloo, 2015-12-21)As critical elements of the physical infrastructure that enables ubiquitous wireless connectivity, radio frequency power amplifiers (RFPAs) are constantly pushed to the limits of linear but efficient operation. Digital ... -
Link Adaptation for WiMAX Supported Mobile Hotspot
(University of Waterloo, 2009-07-31)In recent years, mobile hotspots have been getting much attention of the researchers. They are implemented on moving platforms. Research interests in mobile hotspots are motivated by the demand of seamless mobility. The ... -
Link Layer Priority Management Techniques for Supporting Real Time Traffic in CDMA Based Wireless Mesh Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2007-09-17)With the recent advances in the development of wireless communication networks, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been receiving considerable research interests in recent years. Many challenges need to be addressed for ... -
Link-Layer Cooperative Communication in Vehicular Networks
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-26)Vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are a special kind of communication networks and possess unique characteristics as compared with general mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), where vehicles communicate with each other or ... -
A Link-Level Communication Analysis for Real-Time NoCs
(University of Waterloo, 2012-08-29)This thesis presents a link-level latency analysis for real-time network-on-chip interconnects that use priority-based wormhole switching. This analysis incorporates both direct and indirect interferences from other traffic ... -
Load Balancing Schemes for Distributed Real-Time Interactive Virtual World Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2000)Over the last several years, there has been tremendous growth in online gaming (i. e. playing games over the internet). The Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) is one type of online game. An ... -
Local Binary Pattern Approach for Fast Block Based Motion Estimation
(University of Waterloo, 2013-10-09)With the rapid growth of video services on smartphones such as video conferencing, video telephone and WebTV, implementation of video compression on mobile terminal becomes extremely important. However, the low computation ... -
Local nested transverse feedback linearization
(Springer, 2015-08-29)We study two local feedback equivalence problems for a nonlinear control-affine system with two nested, controlled-invariant, embedded submanifolds in its state space. The first, less restrictive, result gives necessary ... -
Local observers on linear Lie groups with linear estimation error dynamics
(IEEE, 2014-03-06)This technical note proposes local exponential observers for systems on linear Lie groups. We study two classes of systems. In the first class, the full state of the system evolves on a linear Lie group and is available ... -
Local Phase Coherence Measurement for Image Analysis and Processing
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)The ability of humans to perceive significant pattern and structure of an image is something which humans take for granted. We can recognize objects and patterns independent of changes in image contrast and illumination. ... -
A Local Solution to the Output Regulation Problem for Sampled-Data Systems on Commutative Matrix Lie Groups
(IEEE, 2018-08-16)We present a smooth nonlinear control law for a kinematic plant on commutative matrix Lie groups that achieves regulation, if the state tracking and estimation errors are initialized in a suitable neighbourhood of identity. ... -
Local synchronization of sampled-data systems on one-parameter Lie subgroups
(IEEE, 2017-07-03)We present a distributed nonlinear control law for synchronization of identical agents on one-parameter Lie subgroups. If the agents are initialized sufficiently close to one another, then synchronization is achieved ... -
Local transverse feedback linearization for nested sets
(IEEE, 2016-02-11)We study a local feedback equivalence problem for a nonlinear control-affine system with two nested, controlled invariant, embedded submanifolds in its state space. The main result of this paper gives necessary and sufficient ... -
Log Event Filtering Using Clustering Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2009-10-01)Large software systems are composed of various different run-time components, partner applications and, processes. When such systems operate they are monitored so that audits can be performed once a failure occurs or ... -
Logging Statements Analysis and Automation in Software Systems with Data Mining and Machine Learning Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2022-01-19)Log files are widely used to record runtime information of software systems, such as the timestamp of an event, the name or ID of the component that generated the log, and parts of the state of a task execution. The rich ... -
