A High-Resolution Energy-Efficient Resistor-Based Temperature Sensor

High-resolution energy-efficient temperature sensors are often used for the temperature compensation of frequency references, and of a wide variety of other sensors. Of the various types of CMOS-compatible temperature sensors, those based on resistors are, at least in principle, the most energy efficient. The challenge is then how to design...

Optimization on Burst Allocation in D2DWRAN

With rapid development of digital devices with wireless services, communication networks play a significant role in our daily lives. The explosive data demand makes it urgent to extend the capacity of the existing networks. Cognitive Radio (CR), which can sense and use the frequency band dynamically, can provide an efficient radio frequency...

Offline Power Allocation and Spectrum Sensing Strategy in Energy-Harvesting Cognitive Radio Networks

Energy-harvesting cognitive radio network has emerged as a solution to increase energy and spectrum efficiency. In this thesis, we propose short-term offline optimal power allocation algorithms for multi-user energy-harvesting cognitive radio networks considering interference between secondary users. Assuming finite and rechargeable batteries...
