▼ This thesis deals with two problems in viscous flow.In the first part, fluid-structure interactions were investigated, with connections to swimming microorganisms. Motivated by a numerically proposed swimming mechanism, we studied an elastic straight rod rotating on an imaginary cone. The shapes of the rod which rotates at either prescribed torques or speeds were experimentally measured and theoretically calculated. The rod undergoes a discontinuous transition to a helical shape at a critical torque, with increased propulsion force. A simple model was presented to capture and explain the essential physics. In addition, the longstanding hypothesis of hydrodynamic synchronization was investigated using a scale model experiment. We demonstrated that hydrodynamic interactions can cause synchronization between rotating paddles driven at constant torque if the shafts supporting the paddles have some flexibility. The synchronization state depends on the symmetry of the paddles and the torque mismatch. Excellent agreements were shown between the experiments and the regularized stokeslets simulations. And a simple analytic theory was built to predict the synchronization time as a function of paddle separation.In the second part, contact drop formation on a hydrophobic surface was examined experimentally and theoretically. A wide range of droplet sizes can result from the same syringe by varying the dispensing speed. Three dispensing regimes were identified according to the motion of the contact line, a line coexisting between liquid/vapor/solid interfaces. In the fixed and the expanding contact-line regimes, a power dependence of the drop sizes on the dispensing speeds was observed experimentally and obtained theoretically. In the receding contact-line regime, the contact-line motion consists of two stages: a slow retraction at the beginning and a rapid retraction immediately prior to drop breakup. The dispensing process was modeled as a stretching liquid bridge with a free moving contact-line. A quasi-static analysis and numerical calculations were performed to accurately predict the initial evolution of the liquid bridge and the final breakup respectively. The influences of the contact-line movement on the onset instabilities of liquid bridges and thus the deposited drop sizes were discussed.

▼ Time synchronization in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is essential and significant for maintaining data consistency, coordination, and performing other fundamental operations, such as power management, security, and localization. Energy efficiency is the main concern in designing time synchronization protocols for WSNs because of the limited and generally nonrechargeable power resources. In this dissertation, the problem of time synchronization is studied in three different aspects to achieve energy efficient time synchronization in WSNs. First, a family of novel joint clock offset and skew estimators, based on the classical two-way message exchange model, is developed for time synchronization in WSNs. The proposed joint clock offset and skew correction mechanisms significantly increase the period of time synchronization, which is a critical factor in the over-all energy consumption required for global network synchronization. Moreover, the Cramer-Rao bounds for the maximum likelihood estimators are derived under two different delay assumptions. These analytical metrics serve as good benchmarks for the experimental results thus far reported. Second, this dissertation proposes a new time synchronization protocol, called the Pairwise Broadcast Synchronization (PBS), which aims at minimizing the number of message transmissions and implicitly the energy consumption necessary for global synchronization of WSNs. A novel approach for time synchronization is adopted in PBS, where a group of sensor nodes are synchronized by only overhearing the timing messages of a pair of sensor nodes. PBS requires a far smaller number of timing messages than other well-known protocols and incurs no loss in synchronization accuracy. Moreover, for densely deployed WSNs, PBS presents significant energy saving. Finally, this dissertation introduces a novel adaptive time synchronization protocol, named the Adaptive Multi-hop Timing Synchronization (AMTS). According to the current network status, AMTS optimizes crucial network parameters considering the energy efficiency of time synchronization. AMTS exhibits significant benefits in terms of energy-efficiency, and can be applied to various types of sensor network applications having different requirements.

▼ The advent of chip multi-processors has led to an increase in computational performance in recent years. Employing efficient parallel algorithms has become important to harness the full potential of multiple cores. One of the major productivity limitation in parallel programming arises due to use of Synchronization Primitives. The primitives are used to enforce mutual exclusion on critical section data. Most shared-memory multi-processor architectures provide hardware support for mutually exclusive access on shared data structures using lock and unlock operations. These operations are implemented in hardware as a set of instructions that atomically read and then write to a single memory location. Good synchronization techniques should try to reduce network bandwidth, have low access time in acquiring locks and be fair in granting requests. In a typical directory controller based locking scheme, each thread communicates with the directory controller for lock request and lock release. The overhead of this design includes communication with the directory controller for each step of lock acquisition, and this causes high latency transactions. Thus, a significant amount of time is spent in communication as compared to the actual operation. Previous works have focused on reducing the communication to home node through various techniques. One such technique of interest is the Implicit Queue on Lock Bit Technique (IQOLB). In this technique, the lock is forwarded directly to the requestor from the thread currently holding the lock without communication through the home node. Limitations of the method include the following: the forwarding operation can take place only after the current thread holding the lock has received information about the new lock requestor from the home node and also modification to cache coherence protocol to distinguish a regular memory read request and a synchronization request. Very little research has been performed in the area of lock prediction. We believe based on data analysis that lock communication is predictable and the prediction can improve performance significantly. This research focuses on predicting the sequence in which locks are acquired so that the thread currently holding the lock can preemptively invalidate the locked cache line and forward the same to subsequent requestors and hence reduce the time taken to acquire a lock. The predictor is adaptive: whenever a lock is biased towards a thread, it will remain in the cache of that particular thread, and invalidation will not take place. The benefits of the technique include reduction in the number of messages exchanged with the home node without any modification to the cache coherence protocol (does not distinguish a regular memory read request and synchronization request). The results of the evaluation of lock predictor on PARSEC benchmark suite shows an improvement in overall performance by an average of 9 % over the base case.

▼ Localization is very important for self-organizing wireless networks. The localization process involves two main steps: ranging, i.e., estimating the distance between an unlocalized node and the anchor nodes within its range, and the localization algorithm to compute the location of the unlocalized nodes using the anchor coordinates and the estimated ranges. To be able to estimate the distance, the receiver needs to detect the arrival time of the received signals precisely. Thus, the first part of this research is related to time synchronization. We propose two new symbol timing offset estimation (STO) algorithms that can detect the start of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) symbol more accurately than others in a Rayleigh fading channel. OFDM is used to perform timing synchronization because it is incorporated inmany current and future wireless systems such as 802.11, WiMAX, wireless USB, and WiMedia. The first proposed algorithm uses a metric that is calculated recursively. Two estimation methods are considered: one using the average of the metric results, and the other using the median. The second approach uses a preamble designed to have a maximum timing metric for the correct location and very small values otherwise. These algorithms are shown to outperform recent algorithms in the literature. In the second part of this dissertation we explore the second step of the localization problem. There are two kinds of localization: range-free and range-based. A new distributed range-free localization algorithm is proposed where every unlocalized node forms two sets of anchors. The first set contains one-hop anchors from the unlocalized node. The second set contains two-hop and three-hop anchors away from the unlocalized node. Each unlocalized node uses the intersections between the ranging radii of these anchors to estimate its position. Four different range-based localization algorithms are proposed. These algorithms use techniques from data mining to process the intersection points between an unlocalized node and nearby anchors. The first proposed scheme is based on decision tree classification to select a group of intersection points. The second is based on the decision tree classification and K-means clustering algorithms applied to the selected intersection points by the decision trees. The third is based on decision tree classification and the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) algorithm applied to the intersection points selected by decision trees. The last approach uses the density-based outlier detection (DBOD) algorithm. DBOD assigns density values to each point being used in the location estimation. The mean of these densities is calculated and those points having a density larger than the mean are kept as candidate points. These proposed approaches are shown to outperform recent algorithms in the literature. Advisors/Committee Members: Gulliver, T. Aaron (supervisor).

▼ Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) has been employed in several current and future 4-th generation (4G) wireless standards. Frequency offsets in OFDM introduce intercarrier interference (ICI). Channel estimations are also required. This thesis focuses on the channel and frequency offset estimation for OFDM-based systems. For cooperative-relay OFDM with frequency offsets, where inter-relay interference (IRI) exists, channel estimation is developed. Optimal pilot designs are proposed by minimizing the IRI in the mean square error (MSE) of the least square (LS) channel estimation. The impact of frequency offset on the channel estimation accuracy is derived. The pairwise error probability (PEP) with both the frequency offset and channel estimation errors is evaluated. The power allocation is discussed. For multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) OFDM systems, channel and frequency offset estimation errors are investigated. The signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) is first analyzed given channel and frequency offset estimation errors. The bit error rate (BER) is then approximated for multiple-antenna reception with maximal ratio combing (MRC) and equal gain combining (EGC). For orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing access (OFDMA) systems, the variance of the frequency offset estimation is derived as a function of SINR and signal-to- noise ratio (SNR). This variance information is exploited to improve the accuracy of frequency offset estimators. A successive interference cancellation (SIC)-based frequency offset estimator is also developed. The accuracy of frequency offset estimation of the OFDMA uplink can also be improved by using the cooperative relaying. Both conventional amplify-and-forward (AF) relays and new decode-and-compensate-and-forward (DcF) relays are studied. The frequency offset estimate is derived from combining different link estimates. In addition, when CSI is available, a scheme is proposed to adaptively switch between the cooperative and conventional (no relaying) transmissions to optimize the frequency offset estimation.

▼ Recent years have seen a tremendous growth in the development of small sensing devices capable of data processing and wireless communication through their embed- ded processors and radios. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are ad hoc networks consisting of such devices gaining importance due to their emerging applications. For a meaningful processing of the information sensed by WSN nodes, the clocks of these individual nodes need to be matched through some well de?ned procedures. This dissertation focuses on deriving e?cient estimators for the clock parameters of the network nodes for synchronization with the reference node and the estimators variance thresholds are obtained to lower bound the maximum achievable performance. For any general time synchronization protocol involving a two way message ex- change mechanism, the BLUE-OS and the MVUE of the clock o?set between them is derived assuming both symmetric and asymmetric exponential network delays. Next, with the inclusion of clock skew in the model, the joint MLE of clock o?set and skew under both the Gaussian and the exponential delay model and the corresponding al- gorithms for ?nding these estimates are presented. Also, for applications where even clock skew correction cannot maintain long-term clock synchronization, a closed-form expression for the joint MLE for a quadratic model is obtained. Although the derived MLEs are not computationally very complex, two compu- tationally e?cient algorithms have been proposed to estimate the clock o?set and skew regardless of the distribution of the delays. Afterwards, extending the idea of having inactive nodes in a WSN overhear the two-way timing message communication between two active (master and slave) nodes, the MLE, the BLUE-OS, the MVUE and the MMSE estimators for the clock o?sets of the inactive nodes located within the communication range of the active nodes are derived, hence synchronizing with the reference node at a reduced cost. Finally, focusing on the the one-way timing exchange mechanism, the joint MLE for clock phase o?set and skew under exponential noise model and the Gibbs Sampler for a receiver-receiver protocol is formulated and found via a direct algorithm. Lower and upper bounds for the MSE of JMLE and Gibbs Sampler are introduced in terms of the MSEs of the MVUE and the conventional BLUE, respectively.

▼ This dissertation investigates the different organizational structures of paratransit services that cover large regions. A paratransit service is demand-responsive, shared-ride transit service using vans or small buses. It is characterized by the use of vehicles that do not operate on a fixed route or a fixed schedule. The paratransit route and schedule are arranged from a user-specified origin to a user-specified destination, and at a user-specified time. To retain productivity by focusing on shorter trips within a denser area, some larger systems have outsourced operations to more than one contractor, with each contractor responsible for the service zone to which their vehicles have been assigned. This service design is called a "zonal structure" or a "zoning approach." The zoning with transfer system coordinates vehicles' schedules at various transfer locations. The schedule coordination of inter-zonal mechanisms of transportation likely reduces trip costs by increasing the ridesharing rate and lowering the number of empty return miles. This study first presents the exact formulation for a coordinated decentralized paratransit system in order to compare its productivity and service quality with independent decentralized and centralized strategies. The formulation is then proven to work correctly, and the results of the computational experiments of small scale instances are shown to demonstrate that the proposed coordinated system is superior to independent decentralized systems in terms of passenger miles per vehicle revenue mile. In the second section, this study develops an insertion-based heuristic method in order to compare the performances of different operational designs when applied to a large-scale system. In an experiment utilizing Houston's demand-responsive service data, we compare the productivity and service levels among three organizational structures: zoning with transfer, zoning without transfer, and no-zoning designs. The results indicate that zoning with transfer can provide significant benefits to paratransit operations that manage zoning structure; however, the no-zoning strategy used by Houston METRO (a relatively low-density region) performs better on average in terms of efficiency. This study concludes that the zoning with transfer method can be proven to be a productive organizational structure.

▼ Understanding how the transmission of energy between the providers (such as nuclear power stations, renewable resources, or any type of supplying entity) and the consumers (such as factories, homes, or any type of demanding entity) depends on the structure of the inter-connections between them and on their dynamical be- haviour, is of paramount importance for the design of power-grid systems that are resilient to failures, e.g., failures due to structural modifications or energy fluctu- ations. In this thesis, we derive the implicit relationship between structure and behaviour that flow and power networks have, namely, the mathematical principles behind the transmission of energy in complex networks. From our novel derivations, we determine exact and approximate strategies to create self-controlled and stable systems (i.e., resilient to failures without the need for external controllers) that have an optimal (i.e., with less cost and power dissipation) and smart (i.e., allowing the decentralisation of large power-stations to smaller fluctuating renewable resources) energy distribution. Moreover, not only we achieve analytical solutions for problems that usually require a numerical analysis, but we also propose a change in the analy- sis view-point of complex systems, namely, systems composed of many dynamically interacting units forming a network. We show that in order to explain the emer- gent behaviour in these systems, instead of focusing on the network structure of the interactions, we should focus on the functional form of the interactions. In particu- lar, we derive a general framework to study the existence and stability of emergent collective behaviour in networks of interacting phase-oscillators, namely, the math- ematical principles behind the synchronisation in complex networks. The numerous breakthrough results in this thesis are expected to be of aid for engineers to design smarter and more resilient power-grid systems, as well as to scientists dealing with emergence of collective behaviour in complex systems.

▼ Because of our limited knowledge of the huge water body that covers 70% of Earth's surface, Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UWASN) is an emerging topic in the research society. However, the unique properties of acoustic communication systems, such as high propagation delay, high communication power consumption, low transmission rate, distance dependent bandwidth, all make the networking issues of UWASN very challenging. In this thesis, we study three different topics that can be applied in UWASN, with a focus on addressing the challenge of high propagation delay. One is time synchronization, another one is link scheduling, and the last one is random access.; Because of high propagation delay, time synchronization protocols which are designed for terrestrial-RF networks may not be suitable for UWASN. We perform extensive analysis of existing solutions, and conclude their pros and cons. Based on our findings, we propose a hybrid synchronization scheme, which outperforms existing solutions in terms of precision, has bounded multi-hop error, and low variance. In addition, we also analyze the proposed solution with other schemes in multi-hop settings. The performance of hybrid scheme is not only analyzed theoretically, but also veried by traced-based simulations.; In the second topic, we formally prove the NP-hardness and best possible approximation ratio for Metric Underwater Scheduling problem. We then use a complete SAT solver to study the feasibility of a given scheduling length, regarding a network under consideration. We notice that UWASN has good throughput when the deployment density is low, but deteriorates when density goes up.; Due to the inflexibility and high communication power consumption of centralized schedulers, we finally study the performance of a ALOHA-like random access scheme. We use non-linear programming to improve its throughput by modifying the channel access distribution. Based on our findings, the improvement can be several orders compared to primitive solutions. While packet length increases, schedule length decreases, and deployment density increases, the improvement ratio also goes up accordingly.

▼ Recent government regulations for Enhanced 911 locating of wireless handsets require accuracy to within 50 and 300 meters. Two technologies under consideration are triangulation using existing wireless base stations and location using global positioning satellites (GPS). Satellite positioning is the leading candidate, however, reception of GPS signals within large buildings is difficult and considerable research is devoted to this topic. Conventional GPS receivers require line of sight to at least four satellites and, under outdoor conditions, the expected signal level is about -160 dBW. Within large buildings, detection is very difficult because there is high thermal noise and some satellite signals can be attenuated to less than -185 dBW while others can suffer little attenuation. In order to construct the pseudo-ranges necessary for position finding, the receiver must synchronize to the incoming codephase of each satellite and must operate with substantial Doppler frequency offset caused by satellite motion. This thesis investigates the application of a parallel non-coherent spread spectrum synchronizer previously implemented as a very-large-scale integration (VLSI) circuit. The circuit processes one millisecond of incoming signal and uses a segmented matched filter (SMF) by which the segmentation provides some tolerance to Doppler shift. The thesis presents simulation results of averaging for tens of seconds. Through simulation, the SMF is compared with a transversal matched filter (TMF) under conditions of no Doppler shift; coherent and non-coherent integration are discussed. The simulation is conducted at 290 K (17°C) such that the Boltzmann noise is -204 dBW/Hz, with a GPS signal bandwidth of 2 MHz and signal level of -185 dBW, and the receiver input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is -44 dB. The SMF is applied using differing segment lengths to high-sensitivity GPS data from indoor and urban simulated GPS data. The results demonstrate the SMF’s ability to tolerate Doppler frequency offsets while allowing for long integration times to detect the weak GPS signals.

▼ With the advent of multicore processors, there is an increasing amount of interest in building concurrent applications capable of fully utilising their features. Developing applications for these platforms to take full advantage of the power of multicore capabilities remains a complex, error-prone, and challenging endeavour. Unfortunately, concurrency is not uniformly and externally expressed in most existing application models. The result is that concurrency and thread management are hidden within objects or components and intermixed with their functionalities. After demonstrating the tangling of code that results from the interaction of these two major concerns, this thesis describes a method of improving the concurrent program by applying a novel technique to separate the concerns: aspect-oriented programming, which aims to encapsulate concerns that crosscut the main program flow in separate entities into aspects.The most mature aspect-oriented tool available at the time this project was being undertaken is AspectJ, which is an extension of Java. AspectJ can be used to write an aspect to a separate concern in a sequential program to avoid code tangling, but it is often inapplicable for concurrent programs. The problem lies in the fact that the points where parallelisation should occur are not natural join points in AspectJ (i.e. points where AspectJ can intervene). Consequently, this thesis proposes a set of fine-grained join points capable of completely handling concurrent programs. This model goes beyond present AspectJ models and demonstrates the need to recognise complex behaviour for an effective separation of concerns.Finally, aspects for implementing concurrent programs according to different schemes are presented, together with evaluation results. This highlights the flexibility of aspects for implementing concurrent programs, a flexibility which is always a cross-cutting concern with respect to the main concern of base applications.

▼ The goal of this dissertation is to design a reliable and efficient communication system for downhole acoustic communication. This system is expected to operate in two different modes. A broadband high data rate mode in case of transmission of an image or a video file and a narrowband low data rate mode in case of transmission of sensor readings. This communication system functions by acoustic vibration of the pipes and uses them as the channel instead of installing long cables in areas that are hard to reach. However, this channel has unique characteristics where it exhibits several passbands and stopbands across the frequency spectrum. The communication system is expected to get around those challenges in both modes of operation. In the broadband case, the system uses Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing to transmit data across multiple orthogonal frequencies spanning multiple passbands combined with an error-correction code to recover some of the losses caused by the channel. In the narrowband case, a short packet is transmitted at a low data rate where the signal spectrum can fit inside one passband. However, transmitting short packets induces a new synchronization problem. This dissertation investigates and explores in detail the problem of synchronization on short packets where each synchronization stage is examined. A simple algorithm that exploits the presence of error-correction codes is proposed for the frame synchronization stage and demonstrated to approach the optimal solution. Then, all synchronization stages are combined in order to study the effect of propagated errors caused by imperfect synchronization from one stage to the next and what can be done in the design of the packet and the receiver structure to mitigate those losses. The resulting synchronization procedure is applied to the pipe strings and demonstrated to achieve desirable levels of performance with the assistance of equalization at the receiver.
