Smart meters are being deployed globally on a trial basis and are expected to enable
remote reading and demand response among other advanced functions, by setting up a two …

Precoding is proved to be highly efficient to improve the bit error rate (BER) of orthogonal
frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in frequency-selective fading channels …

In this paper, we propose a mathematical model for timing synchronization errors in a
cascaded virtual multi-hop multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system that incorporates …

We investigate the performance of two multi-hop network topologies in which two sources
have independent information to be transmitted to a far off common destination. Linear …

In this paper, near-orthogonal random space-time block codes (STBCs) are used to design
near-orthogonal channels to transmit information independently in a fully opportunistic multi …

Rampant evolution of the fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) research and Internet
of Things (IoT) opens up a new range of possibilities enabling ubiquitous wireless solutions …

Cooperative communication or distributed multi-input multi-output (DMIMO) system is an
emerging paradigm for increasing spectral efficiency, coverage extension, small cell …

A strip-shaped sensor network is considered, where randomly placed nodes communicate
cooperatively by forming an opportunistic large array (OLA). The transmission from a group …

Cooperative spatial diversity allows for more robust wireless networks with higher capacity
and data rates. These diversity gains, however, diminish with the multiple carrier frequency …

In this thesis, we present an analytical model for a cooperative multi-hop network subject to
a deterministic and random path loss wireless channel. For deterministic case, we present …
