▼ Nowadays, the explosive data traﬃc demand has been craving innovative technologies for future wireless networks. Classic theory has revealed that the capacity of a multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) channel can increaselinearly with the number of antennas. However, besides deploying multiple antennas at base stations, there are many challenges to develop MIMO to further boost the wireless network capacity.In this thesis, advanced MIMO technologies are studied to exploit the degree of freedom gain under a variety of proposals for future wireless networks.First, a new linear vector physical-layer network coding scheme is proposed for a MIMO two-way relay channel where the channel state information is unavailable at transmitters. We present an explicit network coding methodthat minimizes the error probability at high signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). We propose a novel typical error event analysis and show that the proposed scheme achieves the optimal error rate performance at high SNRs. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme signiﬁcantly outperforms existing schemes.Second, a new caching scheme is proposed for a random wireless device to-device (D2D) network, where each node is equipped with a local cache and intends to download ﬁles from a preﬁxed library via D2D links. The distributed MIMO technology is employed between source nodes and neighbours of the destination node for cache deliveries. The induced multiplexing gain and diversity gain increase the number of simultaneous transmissions, improving the network throughput. The average aggregate throughput scales almost linearly with the number of nodes, with a vanishing outage probability, and outperforms existing ones when the cache size is limited.Third, a hybrid D2D-cellular scheme is proposed to make use of the standby users who possess D2D communication capabilities in close proximity to each other, and to improve the rate performance for cellular users. Through D2Dlinks, a virtual antenna array is formed by sharing antennas across diﬀerent terminals to realize the diversity gain of MIMO channels. We then design an orthogonal D2D multiple access protocol and formulate the optimizationproblem of joint cellular and D2D resource allocation. Extensive system-level simulations demonstrate that the cellular rate performance is signiﬁcantly improved.

▼ O computador tem sido cada vez mais utilizado por professores como recurso para o ensino de alunos com paralisia cerebral durante as atividades escolares. Devido aos comprometimentos motores impostos por tal desordem, estes alunos podem apresentar dificuldades de acesso ao computador dependendo do dispositivo de entrada utilizado. Existem dispositivos convencionais, como o mouse e o teclado padrão, e também aqueles de maior tecnologia como a tela sensível ao toque e os acionadores eletrônicos pelo olhar, como o eye tracker, que podem auxiliar neste processo. Mas qual deles proporciona ao aluno com paralisia cerebral, melhor acesso ao computador: o mouse convencional, a tela sensível ao toque ou o eye tracker? O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficácia destes três dispositivos de entrada no acesso ao computador por alunos com paralisia cerebral. Participaram do estudo 15 alunos com paralisia cerebral com idade entre 6 e 14 anos, com níveis GMFCS e MACS de I a V. Para a avaliação da eficácia dos dispositivos, os participantes usaram um notebook com tela sensível ao toque, um mouse convencional e um eye tracker para realizar tarefas com os seguintes softwares: o Discrete Aiming Task 2.0, para avaliar o tempo de resposta do usuário na tarefa de seleção de alvo; o Tracking Task 2.0, para avaliar o a porcentagem de tempo no círculo e a frequência de erros na seleção e rastreamento de alvo e, o Single Switch Performance Test (SSPT) 1.0 para avaliar o tempo médio de acionamento de um alvo. Para avaliação do grau de satisfação dos participantes com relação aos dispositivos foi utilizada uma escala analógica visual. Por fim, os usuários foram questionados sobre a preferência dos dispositivos utilizados. Foi realizada análise estatística não paramétrica com nível de significância p≤0,05. Os resultados significativos estatisticamente mostraram que: (1) o eye tracker causou menor frequência de erros, no uso do software Tracking Task v.2.0; (2) o mouse apresentou o menor tempo médio de acionamento no SSPT; (3) A tela sensível ao toque foi o mais eficaz na variável tempo mais lento de acionamento no SSPT; (4) Os participantes com o nível de habilidade manual mais comprometido usaram menos o mouse. As comparações entre: os níveis de habilidade manual e a preferência do dispositivo; os níveis de habilidade motora e a preferência do dispositivo; o gênero dos usuários e a preferência do dispositivo; a classificação topográfica e a preferência do dispositivo, não indicaram diferenças significativas. Observou-se diferença estatística entre o nível de classificação de habilidade manual com a possibilidade de conseguir usar o mouse. O nível de função motora grossa e de habilidade manual dos participantes tem relação com a satisfação com os dispositivos de entrada. Conclui-se que o eye tracker foi o dispositivo mais eficaz na tarefa de seleção de alvos; o mouse, o mais eficaz para os tempos médio e mais rápido de acionamento e, também, para o rastreamento de alvos; a tela sensível ao toque foi mais eficaz na variável tempo mais lento de… Advisors/Committee Members: Braccialli, Ligia Maria Presumido [UNESP], Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP).

▼ Civil infrastructures, including buildings and energy, lifeline, communication, and transportation systems, provide significant services and benefits to our communities. These systems need to be designed, constructed, and maintained to sufficiently resist the effects of service and extreme loads to ensure continuous daily operability and public safety. A solution to increase structural performance vis-a-vis service and extreme loads is a performance-based design (PBD) approach. The strategy of PBD is to appropriately size structural stiffness and supplemental damping for a given system to restrict motion to a prescribed performance. In the case where there are multiple excitations either individually considered or combined, termed multi-hazard, a PBD approach becomes difficult to implement with passive strategies as they require a high level of redundancy. Semi-active control systems can perform over a wide excitation bandwidth, ideal for multi-hazard. However, this technology is not yet widely accepted by the field nor implemented. Several factors are impeding its application: 1) lack of mechanically reliable damping device with large resisting forces capability; 2) large uncertainty in the dynamic parameters of large-scale structures; and 3) lack of robust controller for unknown excitations. In order to enhance acceptability of semi-active control systems in civil field, an intelligent semi-active control system for multi-hazard mitigation is proposed. This control systems comprises a novel semi-active friction device and a new data driven controller. The novel semi-active friction device, termed Modified Friction Device (MFD), has enhanced applicability compared to other proposed damping systems due to its cost-effectiveness, high damping performance, mechanical robustness, and technological simplicity. The promise of the MFD has been shown theoretically before. Its mechanical principle is based on a duo-servo drum brake, which results in a high amplification of the input force while enabling a variable control force. Here, we fabricate the first prototype of the MFD and experimentally demonstrate its principle. A three-stage dynamic model is proposed to characterize its dynamics. The proposed model can be used for performance-based design and to develop effective control algorithms. The new data driven controller, termed input space dependent controller (ISDC), is based on real-time identification of an embedding that represents the essential dynamics found in the input space, or in the measurements. The ISDC is an excellent candidate for multi-hazard applications, because it 1) utilizes local and limited measurements only; 2) does not require prior evaluation or training; 3) is capable of extracting key features from unknown excitation; and 4) adapts to systems nonstationarities. The intelligent semi-active control system is simulated on two representative structures, one short building located in Japan, and one tall building located in Boston, MA, with both structures being subjected to non-simultaneous…

▼ Abstract The thesis concentrates on evaluating and improving performances of various multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) relaying scenarios that are particularly relevant to future wireless systems. A greater emphasis is placed on important practical situations, considering relay deployments, availability of channel state information (CSI), limitations of spectrum, and information secrecy. Initially, the performance of a non-coherent amplify-and-forward (AF) MIMO relaying is analyzed when the relay is deployed with the relay-to-destination channel having a line-of-sight (LoS) path. The main attention is given to analyzing the performance of orthogonal space-time block coded based non-coherent AF MIMO system. Exact expressions of statistical parameters and performance metrics are derived considering the instantaneous signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) received at the destination. These performance metrics reveal that a strong LoS component in relay-destination channel always limits the performance promised by MIMO scattering environment when both nodes have multiple antennas. The thesis also considers scenarios in MIMO two-way relaying (TWR) with physical layer network coding (PNC) mapping at the relay. PNC mapping becomes complex with multiple streams being combined at the relay node. Joint precoder-decoder schemes are considered to ease this, and various studies are carried out depending on the CSI. The zero-forcing criterion is used at the nodes when perfect CSI is available. For the imperfect CSI scenario, a robust joint precoder-decoder design is considered. The precoder and decoder matrices are obtained by solving optimization problems, which are formulated to maximize sum-rate and minimize weighted mean square error (WMSE) under transmit power constraints on the nodes. Next, a precoder-decoder scheme for MIMO underlay device-to-device (D2D) communication system is investigated by considering two D2D modes; PNC based D2D and direct D2D. The joint design is based on minimizing mean square error (MSE) which is useful to mitigate interference, and to improve the performance of both D2D and cellular communications. Distributed and centralized algorithms are proposed considering bi-directional communication in both D2D and cellular communications. System performance is discussed with two transmit mode selection schemes as dynamic and static selection schemes. The results show that the PNC based D2D mode extends the coverage area of D2D communication. Finally, secure beamforming schemes for the PNC based MIMO TWR systems are investigated when multiple eavesdroppers are attempting to intercept the user information. The CSI of the user-to-eavesdropper channels is imperfect at the users. The channel estimation errors are assumed with both ellipsoidal bound and Gaussian Markov uncertainty models. Robust optimization problems are formulated considering both scenarios to design beamforming vectors at the users and relay. Numerical results suggest that the proposed algorithms converge fast and provide higher… Advisors/Committee Members: Latva-aho, M. (Matti), Rajatheva, N. (Nandana).

▼ The typical user base for computer applications has transformed, over time, from mostly technically oriented individuals to include a vast range of the worldâ s population - the majority of whom have little to no technical proficiency. As such, user interfaces have evolved from text-based shell input into multimedia interfaces which typically provide support for receiving input from a number of disparate devices that are operated in conjunction to manipulate a given program. A problem arises when applications add in support for explicit devices; which leads to strong coupling between the underlying code and the defined set of devices that they support. In a nutshell, support for new peripherals almost always requires that the original application be recompiled and /or its internal configuration modified to incorporate the given device(s). Portal, an interaction independence framework, seeks to add a layer of abstraction between arbitrary application code and the devices they support; allowing developers to deal in the realm of abstract program actions instead of crafting code to handle a variety of concrete device inputs. This should eliminate the need for custom device-tailored code for each user-wielded peripheral that an application must support and will enable application device support to be managed via configuration changes to the Portal middleware framework, rather than being hard-coded into an application. This thesis will define the conceptual design of the Portal framework while, at the same time, elaborating on the role that web services will play within it; investigate two pervasive service-oriented architecture paradigms, SOAP and REST, in order to gauge their potential effectiveness in meeting Portal â s underlying back-end data transmission requirements; provide implementations for the Portal service-oriented architecture and data model; and, finally, critically evaluate both implementations with an emphasis on their performance with regard to both efficiency and scalability.

As new input devices are introduced to the technological market and an increasing part of the population are familiar with the usage of digital devices, it may seem difficult to know which input devices to aim for when developing new programs and applications that use graphical interfaces. According to a previous study in this area, the computer mouse was the most preferred and performed best when tested in speed and accuracy when compared to the keyboard and drawing tablet even though the keyboard was the device most were familiar with. This paper attempted to recreate the study with the exception of testing morethings, such as number of miss-clicks, distance travelled, directional changes and time. The keyboard was replaced by a handheld controller as well. The results were that the mouse performed best yet again, and proved to be easy to use efficiently for both new and experienced users. The handheld controller was shown not to be an optimal pointing device, mostly due to it being stuck to a fixed speed and not able to accelerate. It did well in the matter of amount off miss-clicks and directional changes, which can be tied to its slow speed. The drawing tablet was well received by the new users and experienced as more accurate than the handheld device. Its results suggest that the drawing tablet could be an efficient pointing device than proven here in the hands of an experienced user, but for new users it could not perform as well as the mouse device overall.

Eftersom nya inmatningsenheter introduceras på den tekniska marknaden och en större del av befolkningen bekantar sig med användningen av digitala enheter, kan det verka svårt att veta vilka inmatningsenheter man ska rikta sig till när man utvecklar nya program och applikationer som använder grafiskt gränssnitt. Enligt en tidigare studie var datormusen den mest föredragna enheten och fick bäst resultat inom snabbhet och noggrannhet, jämfört med tangentbordet och ritplattan inom detta område, trots att tangentbordet var den enhet som de flesta var bekanta med. Denna undersökning försökte återskapa studien med undantaget att testa flera egenskaper, såsom antal missade klickar, avstånd, byten av färdriktning och tid samt att tangentbordet ersattes av en handhållen kontroller. Resultaten var att musen presterade bäst än en gång och visade sig vara lätt att använda effektivt för både nya och erfarna användare. Den handhållna styrenheten visade sig inte vara en optimal pekdon, främst på grund av att den hade en bestämd hastighet och inte kunde accelerera. Det gick bra i fråga om mängden missade klickar och riktningsförändringar, som kan vara knutna till dess långsamma hastigheten. Ritplattan mottogsväl av de nya användarna och upplevdes som mer exakt än den handhållna enheten. Resultatet tyder på att ritplattan kan vara en effektiv pekdon i händerna på en erfaren användare än bevisat här, men för nya användare kan det inte fungera lika bra som datormusen överlag.

Pessoas com tetraplegia possuem controle sobre poucas partes do corpo, por isso têm grande dificuldade de interação com o mundo ao seu redor. Interfaces humano-computador que utilizam a capacidade de controle muscular remanescente podem promover um acréscimo importante na autonomia do usuário com tetraplegia. Uma nova forma de interação com o computador é proposta: controle de um dispositivo de entrada por meio do lábio inferior. A ideia não foi partir da tecnologia e agregar recursos, mas sim, partir da pessoa e entender suas necessidades e potencialidades para pesquisar, propor, desenvolver e avaliar alternativas tecnológicas. Com o intuito de investigar se o lábio inferior seria capaz de controlar uma interface de maneira eficiente e precisa, foram desenvolvidos protótipos de um dispositivo de entrada vestível que pudesse ser acionado pelo lábio. Considerando o estado da arte, foi avaliada a capacidade do lábio inferior controlar esta interface proposta como um mouse de computador. Também foi realizada a comparação do controle pelo lábio inferior e pelo polegar utilizando o mesmo dispositivo sob as mesmas condições. O objetivo foi estabelecer referências sobre a capacidade do lábio inferior de controlar uma interface. Foram realizados e analisados os resultados de testes com sujeitos de pesquisa, mensurando e comprovando a capacidade tanto do lábio inferior, como parte do corpo capaz de controlar um dispositivo de entrada, quanto do próprio dispositivo.

People with tetraplegia control few body parts; therefore, they have great difficulty to interact with the environment. Human-computer interfaces that explore the residual muscular control capacity can provide the user with tetraplegia with an important autonomy increase. I propose a new form of interaction, a input device controlled by the lower lip. The idea was not starting from the technology and aggregate resources, but starting from the user needs to research, to propose, to develop and to evaluate technological alternatives. In order to investigate the lower lip ability to efficiently and precisely control an input device, prototypes of a wearable device were developed. I presented an evaluation of the lower lip potential to control a pointing input device, according to the state of the art. The lower lip throughput was compared with the thumb throughput using the same input device under the same conditions. The objective was to establish the baseline for future researches about the lower lip capacity to operate a computer pointing device. The results proved and measured the capacity of the interface as well as the lower lip as a body part able to control a input device.

▼ This Ph.D. thesis focuses on the radio-frequency (RF) linearity of carbon-nanotube field-effect transistors (CNFETs) and graphene field-effect transistors (GFETs). The thesis can be categorized into three stages. In the first stage, the RF linearity potential of CNFETs has been investigated by considering an array-based device structure under the first approximation of ballistic transport. A nonlinear equivalent circuit for ballistic field-effect transistors is used to compare the linearity of CNFETs to conventional MOSFETs. It is shown that nanotube devices working at high frequencies are not inherently linear, as recently suggested in the literature, and that CNFETs exhibit overall linearity that is comparable to their MOSFET counterparts. The nonlinear quantum capacitance is identified to be a major source of high-frequency nonlinearity in CNFETs. The impact of device parameters such as oxide capacitance, channel width, and tube pitch are also investigated. In the second stage, a modified top-of-the-barrier model (MTBM) capable of simulating ballistic transport in GFETs is developed. The model captures band-to-band (Klein-Zener) tunneling, which is important in zero-bandgap materials, and it accounts for variations in the densities of states between the channel and the source and drain regions. The model is benchmarked against a sophisticated solver (based on the non-equilibrium Green’s function approach) and is shown to have very good quantitative agreement. The utility of the modified TBM is demonstrated by investigating and comparing the RF linearity of GFETs to that of CNFETs and conventional MOSFETs. In the third stage, the RF linearity potential of short-channel GFETs is assessed by using the modified top-of-the-barrier approach developed in stage 2, again under the first approximation of ballistic transport. An intrinsic GFET is examined to reveal the key features of GFET linearity, and extrinsic parasitics are then included to assess the overall RF linearity. It is shown that short-channel GFETs can be expected to have a signature behavior versus gate bias that includes a constant-linearity region at low gate bias, sweet spots of high linearity before and after the gate bias for peak unity-current-gain frequency, and poor linearity at the gate bias corresponding to the peak unity-current-gain frequency. It is otherwise found that a GFET offers overall linearity that is comparable to a conventional MOSFET and a CNFET, with the exception that the amount of intermodulation distortion in a GFET is dominated by the drain-injected carriers, a unique outcome of graphene’s lack of a bandgap.

▼ High prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms/disorders in neck and upper extremities are reported among computer users. Considering the widespread use of information and communication technology (ICT) and mobile phones becoming more and more like computers with small keyboards it is of importance to identify the factors and conditions related to this use, that influence our health. The overall aim of this thesis was to obtain new ergonomic knowledge of the physical exposure associated with the use of information and communication technology with emphasis on small keyboards, computer mice and young adult ICT users. In an interview study with young adult ICT users, where the data analysis was performed with the grounded theory method, was showed that the young adults experienced ICT as a tool for being and acting in the present, to be social, efficient and independent with almost unlimited opportunities but also risks. A comparative experimental study with experienced computer mouse users evaluated muscle activity with surface electromyography and wrist positions/movements with electrogoniometry during work with a traditional flat computer mouse (pronated hand position) and a vertical computer mouse (neutral hand position). Work with the vertical computer mouse decreased the muscle activity in the extensor muscles in the forearm and in the first dorsal interossei muscle, and the ulnar deviation in the wrist compared to the traditional mouse. An experimental study, with young adults with and without musculoskeletal symptoms from neck and/or upper extremities, evaluated thumb positions/movements with electrogoniometry, muscle activity with surface electromyography, and working techniques with an observational protocol when text entering on a mobile phone. The young adults with symptoms had lower muscle activity in the abductor pollicis longus and tended to have higher velocity and fewer pauses in the thumb movements compared to those without symptoms. Females had higher muscle activity in the first dorsal interossei and the abductor pollicis longus compared to males. It was more common in the group with symptoms to sit with the head bent forward, to sit without forearm and back support and to enter text with one thumb rather than two compared to those without symptoms. Use of forearm support decreased the muscle activity in the trapezius muscles. Use of one hand grip increased the muscle activity in the extensor muscles in the forearm. High observed velocity in the thumb movements was associated with increased muscle activity in the extensor muscles in the forearm compared to low or moderate velocity. In conclusion, this thesis shows that computer mouse design has an effect on the muscle activity in the forearm and hand, and on the wrist positions and movements. It also shows that the individual factors working technique and gender have an effect on muscle activity and thumb movements when entering text on a mobile phone. Furthermore, there were differences in working techniques, thumb movements, and muscle activity…

▼ Correct measurements of the joints’ extreme postures, velocity and repetitiveness are important for studies of the origin of musculoskeletal disorders. Posture measurements of wrist and thumb joints may also provide insights into input device designs that may reduce effort and/or facilitate productivity. Electrogoniometry offers a relatively simple and objective way to measure joint postures and motions. The expectation is that electrogoniometric instruments will provide better measures of postures and movements than the more subjective methods such as self-reporting or observation. In the first part of this thesis, two wrist goniometer systems were evaluated. The systems differed in how the goniometers were engineered and positioned over wrist and forearm. One system was integrated into a fingerless glove and floated over the forearm whereas the other system was mounted directly over the wrist. ”True” wrist positions were established with the aid of a fixture that allowed the positioning of the wrist in known angles. The “Crosstalk” – when movement in one plane artificially causes movement to be measured in another movement plane, “offset” – where the measured movement axes differ or are offset from the actual movement axes, and “range of motion” – the difference between the actual and measured range of motion of the joint, were compared. The measurement errors were substantial with both systems for simple, standardized wrist postures. However, the system with the transducers built-in in the fingerless glove had considerably less crosstalk errors and proved to have less between-subject differences. The similarities and differences in the measurement errors could be attributed to differences in systems design and methods to improve the accuracy of wrist posture measurement were provided. In the second part of this thesis, the accuracy and feasibility of measuring thumb postures and movements with a simple thumb-mounted electrogoniometer were evaluated. The ”true” thumb positions were established and defined using a manual goniometer. The posture measurement error of the thumb-based electrogoniometer was small relative to the manual goniometer, and on average, less than 5 degrees. A follow-up study determined whether this simple thumb-mounted goniometer could provide meaningful information on thumb posture during mobile phone use. When measuring thumb posture during SMS messaging, thumb posture was shown to be affected by the size of the mobile phone and differences in movement speeds were seen between the two movement axes of the thumb. Thumb movements in abduction/adduction were almost twice as fast as those in flexion/extension. It was also established that the thumb worked near the extreme ranges of motion – which is known to contribute to musculoskeletal disorders. Finally, this thesis determined whether measurements with a simple, thumb mounted electrogoniometer could be used in place of more complicated measures of muscle activity (EMG) for assessing musculoskeletal load during mobile phone use. Sophisticated…

▼ Beaucoup de services vitaux de la vie quotidienne dépendent de systèmes d'ingénierie hautement complexes et interconnectés; Ces systèmes sont constitués d'un grand nombre de capteurs interconnectés, d'actionneurs et de composants du système. L'étude des systèmes interconnectés joue un rôle important dans l'étude de la fiabilité des systèmes dynamiques; car elle permet d'étudier les propriétés d'un système interconnecté en analysant ses sous-composants moins complexes. Le diagnostic des pannes est essentiel pour assurer des opérations sûres et fiables des systèmes de contrôle interconnectés. Dans toutes les situations, le système global et / ou chaque sous-système peuvent être analysés à différents niveaux pour déterminer la fiabilité du système global. Dans certains cas, il est important de déterminer les informations anormales des variables internes du sous-système local, car ce sont les causes qui contribuent au fonctionnement anormal du processus global. Cette thèse porte sur les défis de l'application de la théorie inverse du système et des techniques FDD basées sur des modèles pour traiter le problème articulaire du diagnostic des fautes et de l'analyse des causes racines (FD et RCA). Nous étudions ensuite le problème de l'inversibilité de la gauche, de l'observabilité et de la diagnosticabilité des fauts du système interconnecté, formant un algorithme FD et RCA multi-niveaux basé sur un modèle. Ce système de diagnostic permet aux composants individuels de surveiller la dynamique interne localement afin d'améliorer l'efficacité du système et de diagnostiquer des ressources de fautes potentielles pour localiser un dysfonctionnement lorsque les performances du système global se dégradent. Par conséquent, un moyen d'une combinaison d'intelligence locale avec une capacité de diagnostic plus avancée pour effectuer des fonctions FDD à différents niveaux du système est fourni. En conséquence, on peut s'attendre à une amélioration de la localisation des fauts et à de meilleurs moyens de maintenance prédictive. La nouvelle structure du système, ainsi que l'algorithme de diagnostic des fautes, met l'accent sur l'importance de la RCA de défaut des dispositifs de terrain, ainsi que sur l'influence de la dynamique interne locale sur la dynamique globale. Les contributions de cette thèse sont les suivantes: Tout d'abord, nous proposons une structure de système non linéaire interconnecté inversible qui garantit le fauts dans le sous-système de périphérique de terrain affecte la sortie mesurée du système global de manière unique et distincte. Une condition nécessaire et suffisante est développée pour assurer l'inversibilité du système interconnecté qui nécessite l'inversibilité de sous-systèmes individuels. Deuxièmement, un observateur interconnecté à deux niveaux est développé; Il se compose de deux estimateurs d'état, vise à fournir des estimations précises des états de chaque sous-système, ainsi que l'interconnexion inconnue. En outre, il fournira également une condition initiale pour le reconstructeur de données et le… Advisors/Committee Members: Dahhou, Boutaib (thesis director), Cabassud, Michel (thesis director), Li, Zetao (thesis director).
