Methodology
hardware implementation. The FIR filters are extensively employed in a
for Hardware Optimized
variety of consumer devices like TVs, mobile phones and docking stations.
Implementation
The optimized implementations of FIR filter furnish high quality signal
processing at reasonable cost. The Project first analyzes the effects of
quantization on frequency response of a filter by successively reducing the
number of bits in each coefficient. Empirical analysis of coefficient
quantization reveals a relationship between the number of bits, number of
coefficients and the frequency response. The Project then presents a
methodology for an optimized design of an FIR filter for hardware
implementation. The proposed approach first designs a filter with certain
parameters and then redesigns the same filter with tighter constraints resulting
in higher filter order. The coefficients of the improved or over designed filter
are then quantized successively with lesser number of bits by an iterative
algorithm to a level where its frequency response matches to the original
requirements. The synthesis results show that a significant reduction in
hardware resources can be achieved using this methodology. The proposed
approach has so far not been reported for reduction in hardware resources

Embedded System
Architecture for an
WLAN-based
Dual Mode Mobile Phone

This Project presents new embedded system architecture (ESA) for improving
the voice quality in a WLAN/Cellular dual-mode mobile phone. The proposed
architecture is based on a dual-core scheme and its main functional blocks are
composed of VoIP Remote Procedure Call (VRPC), an audio bridging scheme,
and a Server- Assisted Call Management (SACM) algorithm. In order to
illustrate the aims of the proposed approach, prototype systems are
implemented, and evaluated by measuring average Mean Opinion Score
(MOS), and Mouth-To-Ear (M2E) delay. The experimental results show that
the proposed approach results in greatly improved voice quality1.

Speaker Selection and

Tracking in a Cluttered
Environment
with Audio and Visual
Information

Presented in this Project is a data association method using audio and visual
data which localizes targets in a cluttered environment and detects who is
speaking to a robot. A particle filter is applied to efficiently select the optimal
association between the target and the measurements. State variables are
composed of target positions and speaking states. To update the speaking state,
we first evaluate the incoming sound signal based on cross-correlation and
then calculate a likelihood from the audio information. The visual
measurement is used to find an optimal association between the target and the
observed objects. The number of targets that the robot should interact with is
updated from the existence probabilities and associations. Experimental data
were collected beforehand and simulated on a computer to verify the
performance of the proposed method applied to the speaker selection problem
in a cluttered environment. The algorithm was also implemented in a robotic
system to demonstrate reliable interactions between the robot and speaking
targets.

Design and
Implementation of a
Socket with Low Standby
Power

Turned-off electric home appliances generally still require standby power

when they are plugged in. In this Project we present a way to reduce the
standby power of a socket. Our socket supplies the appliances with power
when the user turns them on. When the user turns them off, our socket shuts
the electric power off and reduces the standby power to zero. Our design,
which uses a microcontroller unit (MCU), receives signals from a pyroelectric
infrared (PIR) sensor which detects the user approaching the socket. A power
detector provides an MCU to control the solid state relay (SSR) On/Off when
used as an appliance switch for shutting off the standby power. The
components we use are very inexpensive and consume only 0.2 W. The MCU
monitoring program provides both automatic detection of the user by the PIR
sensor and detection of power consumption1.

Actual Remote Control: A

Universal Remote Control
using Hand Motions on a
Virtual Menu

Consumer electronic devices are becoming more complex and diverse. In

order to provide users with an easy and convenient way of controlling various
consumer electronics, it is necessary to use a universal way to control various
devices. This requires using a user-friendly and intuitive interface.
We introduce a wristwatch-type of remote that offers a unified way to control
various devices. Total of seven gestures that are based on hand motions are
defined. These seven gestures are suitable to the wearable wristwatch-type
device. For a variety of systems, these gestures can be used in the same way.
Gestures are not designed and analyzed in a discrete manner; instead, they are
designed in continuous hand motions and analyzed in gesture commands.
Also, a method of modeling a virtual menu from the menu on a consumer
electronic device is introduced. With the virtual menu, the user is able to
control various devices by using gestures. The virtual menu has to reflect hand
motion characteristics and represents functions of electronic appliances. The
virtual menu is implemented in XML to represent the basic menu construction
and its properties. In order to use virtual menu, we introduce how a users
hand motions can be used in a fast and effective way. Finally we compare our
wearable remote control to the conventional remote control through user tests
in terms of user convenience and efficiency.

A Lightweight and EnergyEfficient Architecture

for Wireless Sensor
Networks

This Project presents a novel architecture designed for low power

consumption, in which low computational complexity and reliability have also
been important design constraints. It is suitable for sensor-actuator systems, is
based on IEEE 802.15.4 and constitutes a more lightweight alternative than
Zigbee. We provide a vision of how we have solved some problems that are
out of the scope of IEEE 802.15.4 like addressing scheme, topology control,
multi-hop synchronization, tasks scheduling, application data model, and other
points related to software and hardware considered to extend the battery life.
We have designed a centralized method for scheduling the beacon
transmission time. Unlike the distributed one used by Zigbee, our method
avoids beacon overlapping in any case and does not require the publication of
information in the beacon payload. The proposed addressing scheme also does
not require the publication of the depth of coordinators. Both methods allow
us to implement efficient algorithms, reduce the memory used to store the
network tables, and shorten the beacon payload, what entails a significant
energy saving. These solutions together with others presented in this Project
allow us to reach a battery life longer than 31 months for sensors and 42
months for actuators.

Home Network
Configuring Scheme for
All Electric Appliances
Using ZigBee-based
Integrated Remote
Controller

Controlling the electric appliances is the essential technique in the home

automation, and wireless communication between the residence gateway and
electric appliances is one of the most important parts in the home network
system. In these days, most of the electric appliances are controlled by
infrared remote controllers. However, it is very difficult to connect most of the
electric appliances to a home network, since the communication protocols are
different. In this Project, we propose an integrated remote controller to control
electric appliances in the home network with no extra attachment of
communication device to the appliances
using ZigBee protocol and infrared remote controller technology. The
integrated remote controller system for home automation is composed of
integrated remote controller, ZigBee to infrared converter, and ZigBee power
adapter. ZigBee power adapter is introduced for some appliances which do not
have even infrared remote device to be connected in home network. This
Project presents a prototype of the proposed system and shows a scheme for
the implementation. It provides high flexibility for the users to configure and
manage a home network in order to control
electric appliances.

A New Received Signal

Strength Based Location
Estimation
Scheme for Wireless
Sensor Network

The two-step indoor location estimation method based on received signal

strength in wireless sensor network is proposed. Measuring the received signal
strength (RSS) of radio signals transmitted by multiple training points in
wireless sensor network, least-squares approach has been applied to determine
parameters of signal propagation model. Consider the estimated parameters of
the signal propagation model obtained in the first step, minimum mean
squares error(MMSE) method is applied to estimate the position of target
node. Experiment results show that the proposed method has good
performance.

9.

UPnP-ZigBee
Internetworking
Architecture
Mirroring a Multi-hop
ZigBee Network Topology

In this Project, we present a UPnP-ZigBee internetworking architecture.

Different from traditional internetworking architectures which focus on
integrating either wired networks or single-hop wireless networks into UPnP
networks, integrating ZigBee with UPnP is more difficult because ZigBee
nodes communicate over multi-hop wireless network, and further their short
addresses can be changed due to mobility of ZigBee nodes. To cope with it,
we combine UPnP-ZigBee gateway with ZigBee network topology monitoring
functions. A UPnP-ZigBee gateway
mirrors ZigBee network topology; therefore, it creates, terminates, and
updates virtual UPnP proxies according to ZigBee topology changes. Thus, the
proposed
internetworking architecture dynamically and automatically integrates ZigBee
devices into the UPnP network and provides seamless internetworking
between a multi-hop ZigBee network and the UPnP network. We have
demonstrated the proposed architecture by implementing both the UPnPZigBee gateway and network monitoring functions and integrating them
together. By conducting experiments on physical testbed, we have shown that
the proposed architecture provides dynamic integration and seamless
internetworking.

InfoPods: Zigbee-Based
Remote Information
Monitoring Devices
for Smart-Homes

Recent developments in ad-hoc wireless networks, single-chip embedded

systems and the wide-spread availability of Internet in homes has made it
possible to remotely monitor status of external data sources and home
appliances using small, independent wireless devices. This Project presents an
open-architecture and an implementation of such a system called the Infopods
System. This architecture is based on a Zigbee-based controller. The
architecture allows multiple family members to simultaneously monitor their
home appliances as well as external Internet resources using cheap, standalone hand-held mobile wireless devices. The
proposed architecture can be easily integrated with existing smart-home
systems. The architecture is implemented and demonstrated in the context of
an existing Java-based smart home architecture.

Indoor Broadcasting via

White LEDs and OFDM

Recently, visible light communication (VLC) technology has been gaining

attention in both academia and industry. This is driven by the progress of
white light emitting diode (LED) technology for solid-state lighting (SSL) and
the potential of simultaneously using such LEDs for illumination and indoor
wireless data transmission. This Project provides an overview about the
technology and describes the physical layer implementation of a VLC system
based on a modified version of the classical orthogonal frequency division
multiplexing (OFDM) modulation technique. Besides, the Project presents a
hardware prototype for short-range broadcasting using a white LED lamp. The
OFDM system runs on DSP development boards. Off-the-shelf 9 LEDs and a
single photodiode (PD) are utilized to build the analog frontends. The
prototype allows investigating the influence of the electrical signal-to-noise
ratio (SNR), constellation order, and channel coding on the bit-error
performance. Theoretical and experimental results on optical path loss show
close match. In this context, the influence of the LED beam angle on the
horizontal coverage is highlighted.

Personal Communications
using an UEAN:
Concept, Example and
Measurements

This work describes the functionality of the "User Environment Area

Network" (UEAN) and explores some issues related to its practical
implementation. An UEAN is a network that connects the electronic devices
that belong to a person, in spite of their physical location. The "Functional
Convergence" (FC) of personal electronic devices allows the implementation
of virtual personal electronic devices, that are implemented by grouping
sources, sinks, storage, processors or gateways that belong to the UEAN. We
explore the feasibility to use water copper pipelines as the backbone to
establish a UEAN based on the interconnection of several Wireless Personal
Area Networks (WPAN) operating in the different rooms of a house. The
copper pipeline represents a good candidate to interconnect the multiple
WPAN because of its high bandwidth and strong shielding to external
electromagnetic noise. Some measurements in the 2.4 GHz frequency band are
presented. The converging trends observed in telecommunications technology
and markets, make us believe that it is important to study and model a network
of personal devices in terms of an UEAN.

A Remote Laboratory
Platform for Electrical
Drive
Control Using
Programmable Logic
Controllers

Many teaching institutions worldwide are working on distance learning

applications. In this field, remote laboratories are enabling intensive use of
university facilities, while aiding the work of professors and students. The
present Project introduces a platform designed to be used in industrial
automation practical work. The platform is communicable through the
Internet, includes programmable logic controllers that can be programmed
with the open software CoDeSys, and has various sensors and actuators used
in industrial installations. The various experimental stations of the platform,
and the proposed laboratory exercises are described. The results of having
used the platform with students are discussed.

Automatic Video-Based
Human Motion Analyzer
for Consumer Surveillance
System

With the continuous improvements in video analysis techniques, automatic

low-cost video surveillance gradually emerges for consumer applications.
Video surveillance can contribute to the safety of people in the home and ease
control of home-entrance and equipment usage functions. In this Project, we
study a flexible framework for semantic analysis of human behavior from a
monocular surveillance video, captured by a consumer camera. Successful
trajectory estimation and human-body modeling facilitate the semantic
analysis of human activities and events in video sequences. An additional
contribution is the introduction of a 3-D reconstruction scheme for scene
understanding, so that the actions of persons can be analyzed from different
views. The total framework consists of four processing levels: (1) a
preprocessing level including background modeling and multiple-person
detection, (2) an object-based level performing trajectory estimation and
posture classification, (3) an event-based level for semantic analysis, and (4) a
visualization level including camera calibration and 3-D scene reconstruction.
Our proposed framework was evaluated and has shown its good quality (86%
accuracy of posture classification and 90% for events) and effectiveness, as it
achieves a near real-time performance (6-8 frames/second).

A ZigBee-Based Home
Automation System

In recent years, the home environment has seen a rapid introduction of

network enabled digital technology. This technology offers new and exciting
opportunities to increase the connectivity of devices within the home for the
purpose of home automation. Moreover, with the rapid expansion of the
Internet, there is the added potential for the remote control and monitoring of
such network enabled devices. However, the adoption of home automation
systems has been slow. This Project identifies the reasons for this slow
adoption and evaluates the potential of ZigBee for addressing these problems
through the design and implementation of a flexible home automation
architecture. A ZigBee based home automation system and Wi-Fi network are
integrated through a common home gateway. The home gateway provides
network interoperability, a simple and flexible user interface, and remote
access to the system. A dedicated virtual home is implemented to cater for the
systems security and safety needs. To demonstrate the feasibility and
effectiveness of the proposed system, four devices, a light switch, radiator
valve, safety sensor and ZigBee remote control have been developed and
evaluated with the home automation system.

Condition Monitoring of
Power Electronic Circuits
Using Artificial
Neural Networks

This letter investigates the effectiveness of a static neural network (NN) for
monitoring of power electronic circuits. The NN is trained to form a mapping
between the inputs and outputs of a power electronic circuit, which in this
study is considered to be a full-bridge diode rectifier. Dynamic models have
been used for the rectifier diodes. The ultimate objective of the designed NN
is to provide an indication when the performance properties of one or more
components in the rectifier circuit have changed from their original conditions
long before a noticeable degradation in the performance of the circuit or
even a failure happens. Such information can be invaluable for many sensitive
power electronic applications. The ideas put forth in this letter are not
dependent on the type of the circuit and can be readily applied to more
complex power electronic circuits.

Three-Port SeriesResonant DCDC

Converter
to Interface Renewable
Energy Sources With
Bidirectional Load and
Energy Storage Ports

In this Project, a three-port converter with three active full bridges, two seriesresonant tanks, and a three-winding transformer is proposed. It uses a single
power conversion stage with high-frequency link to control power flow
between batteries, load, and a renewable source such as fuel cell. The
converter has capabilities of bidirectional power flow in the battery and the
load port. Use of series-resonance aids in high switching frequency operation
with realizable component values when compared to existing three-port
converter with only inductors. The converter has high efficiency due to softswitching operation in all three bridges. Steady-state analysis of the converter
is presented to determine the power flow equations, tank currents, and softswitching region. Dynamic analysis is performed to design a closed-loop
controller that will regulate the load-side port voltage and source-side port
current. Design procedure for the three-port converter is explained and
experimental results of a laboratory prototype are presented.

Control of Three-Level
PWM Converter Applied
to Variable-Speed-Type
Turbines

This Project proposes advanced control of a threephase three-level neutralpoint-clamped pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converter connecting a
permanent-magnet synchronous generator to a grid. The control scheme is
mainly based on active and reactive power loops and contains the following
additional blocks: virtual flux and filter-capacitor voltage estimators for
sensorless operation, active damping (AD) of possible resonances in the LCL
filter that connects the converter to the grid, and a PWM modulator with dclink voltage balancing and minimization of switching losses. It is shown that
the proposed control method exhibits several features such as sensorless
operation, robust algorithm, minimization of switching losses, and simple
tuning procedure of AD. The simulation and experimental results have proven
an excellent performance and verified the validity of the proposed system.

A Web-Based Remote
Access Laboratory
Using SCADA

The Internet provides an opportunity for students to access laboratories from

outside the campus. This Project presents a Web-based remote access real-time
laboratory using SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) control.
The control of an induction motor is used as an example to demonstrate the
effectiveness of this remote laboratory, using real instruments (a two-level
inverter, measurement equipment, a magnetic powder brake and an ac/dc
converter). A programmable logic controller (PLC) was programmed to
control the operation of the system and a SCADA system was installed to
monitor and control of the process. Some limitations were placed on the PLC
program to protect the motor from overloading and going over maximum
speed. The remote laboratory presented here offers an economical solution for
multiple users in a laboratory environment. This system allows the students to
access real instruments in a real laboratory via the Internet. Additionally, the
suggested architecture helps improve students skills on SCADA systems in
use in industry. The Web interface was designed using Visual Studio with
ASP.NET, which allows students to access the lab and information about the
experiment.

Using Active and Passive

RFID Technology to
Support Indoor
Location-Aware Systems

Emerging mobile technologies are being applied successfully in cultural

spaces to help users to get the correct information no matter where he is, in
such a way that their use result better than traditional guides. Different
technologies (RFID, Wi-Fi, etc.) are applied to allow mobile devices, such as
PDAs or smart phones, interact with their environment in order to provide
users with updated information regarding his physical location. This Project
describes a system environment based on both active and passive RFID
technology which supports the automatic positioning of mobile devices in
closed spaces. This proposal results especially useful to provide locationaware information avoiding the need for users to manually select the desired
information they want to view. This proposal has been successfully proved for
the location and positioning of PDAs

Field Measurements of an
Indoor High-Speed
QAM Wireless System
Using Decision Feedback
Equalization and Smart
Antenna Array

Wireless Communication
The ray-tracing (RT) algorithm has been used for accurately predicting the
site-specific radio propagation characteristics, in spite of its computational
intensity. Statistical models, on the other hand, offers computational simplicity
but low accuracy. In this Idea, a new model is proposed for predicting the
indoor radio propagation to achieve computational simplicity over the RT
method and better accuracy than the statistical models. The new model is
based on the statistical derivation of the ray-tracing operation, whose results
are a number of paths between the transmitter and receiver, each path
comprises a number of rays. The pattern and length of the rays in these paths
are related to statistical parameters of the site-specific features of indoor
environment, such as the floor plan geometry. A key equation is derived to
relate the average path power to the site-specific parameters, which are: 1)
mean free distance; 2) transmission coefficient; and 3) reflection coefficient.
The equation of the average path power is then used to predict the received
power in a typical indoor environment. To evaluate the accuracy of the new
model in predicting the received power in a typical indoor environment, a
comparison with RT results and with measurement data shows an error bound
of less than 5 dB.
Mbaud) wireless communications realized using a flexible multilevel
quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) testbed that features real-time
equalization and smart antenna-array technology. The results from an
extensive set of measurements, 59 262 trials in all, performed without
cochannel interference under various receiver configurations and wireless
environments are presented and analyzed. The results underscore the dramatic
potential for a system that optimally combines equalization and a smart
antenna array. For example, using only 10 mW of transmit power, the system
delivered 30 Mbit/s at an uncoded bit error rate (BER) of 10 3 with 5% outage
at a coverage radius of 20 m. For a lower data rate of 10 Mbit/s, the coverage
radius was increased to 32 m, the uncoded BER dropped below 10 7, and the
outage improved to 1%. The field measurements indicate that a 4-tap
feedforward-filter decision-feedback equalizer with eight feedback-filter taps
is sufficient to mitigate the inter symbol interference for typical indoor
environments. They also show a significant gain when using a smart antenna
array. For example, when transmitting between rooms at a 2% outage
probability, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improves by 8.3 dB when using
two antennas instead of one antenna. Doubling the number of antennas to four
provided an additional SNR improvement of 5.2 dB. The Idea also presents
simulation results that confirm the performance trends observed from the field
measurements.

23.

Reducing Location Update

and Paging Costs in a
PCS Network

Mobility Tracking operations in a personal communication service (PCS)

system are signaling consuming. Several strategies have been proposed in the
literature to reduce both, the location update (LU) and the paging (PG) costs.
In this Idea, we propose a location-tracking algorithm called three-location
area (TrLA), combined with selective paging. In the TrLA, the mobile
terminal (MT) allocates the identification of three neighboring location areas
(LAs) in its local memory. We call this set of three LAs, a big-location area
(BLA). Each time the MT exits the BLA, it triggers an LU message to the
system Databases via a base station, in order to maintain the Databases up to
date. The MT also updates its cach memory. A two-step selective PG is also
considered and compared with the single-step (or nonselective PG). An
analytical model based on a semi-Markov process has been used to evaluate
our proposal. This scheme is compared with the classical Global System for
Mobile Communications (GSM) standard and the Two-Location Algorithm
proposal. As a result, this new scheme outperforms the cited strategies, and in
our opinion, it can easily be implemented in existing standard cellular and
personal communication systems.

24.

Energy Minimization for

Real-Time Data Gathering
in Wireless Sensor
Networks

This Idea studies the challenging problem of energy minimization for data
gathering over a multiple-sources single-sink communication substrate in
wireless sensor networks by exploring the energy-latency tradeoffs using rate
adaptation techniques. We consider a real-time scenario for mission-critical
Applications, where the data gathering must be performed within a specified
latency constraint. We first propose an offline numerical optimization
algorithm with performance analysis for a special case with a complete binary
data gathering tree. Then, by discretizing the transmission time, we present a
simple, distributed on-line protocol that relies only on the local information
available at each sensor node. Extensive simulations were conducted for both
long and short-range communication scenarios using two different source
placement models. We used the baseline of transmitting all packets at the
highest speed and shutting down the radios afterwards. Our simulation results
show that compared with this baseline, up to 90% energy savings can be
achieved by our techniques (both off-line and on-line), under different settings
of several key system parameters.

25.

An Efficient Identity-based
Cryptosystem for
End-to-end Mobile
Security

In the next generation mobile telecommunications, any third party that

provides wireless data services (e.g., mobile banking) must have its own
solution for end-to-end security. Existing mobile security mechanisms are
based on public-key cryptosystem. The main concern in a public-key setting is
the authenticity of the public key. This issue can be resolved by identity-based
(ID-based) cryptography where the public key of a user can be derived from
public information that uniquely identifies the user. This Idea proposes an
efficient IDbased encryption algorithm. We actually implement the ID-based
encryption schemes and compare the performance to show the advantage of
our approach. Our study indicates that our solution outperforms a previously
proposed algorithm by 20 35%.

26.

Recognition of Coded
Speech Transmitted over
Wireless Channels

Network-based speech recognition (NSR) and distributed speech recognition

(DSR) have been proposed as solutions to translate speech recognition
technologies to mobile environments. NSR is the most straightforward
solution since it does not require any modification in the mobile phone,
however DSR offers higher robustness against codec compression and
transmission channel degradation. This Idea explores an alternative approach
for remote speech recognition which combines the advantages of NSR and
DSR. In this scheme, a standard speech codec is used for speech transmission
but the recognition is performed from the received codec parameters. In
particular, we focus on the effect of transmission channel errors, which can
cause a more severe performance reduction on speech recognition than codec
distortion. First, we show that an NSR solution can approach DSR through a
reconstruction technique along with an adapted noise reduction technique
originally proposed for acoustic noise. Then, these results are improved by
working with recognition features directly extracted from the codec bitstream
by means of parameter transcoding. Required modifications on current
networks in order to access the bitstream are described. The network
upgrading with the tandem free operation (TFO) protocol is an attractive
solution. This upgrade not only offers an overall improvement on the end-toend speech quality, but would also allow a recognition performance similar,
and even higher in poor channel conditions, to that obtained by DSR when
parameter transcoding along with the proposed mitigation techniques are
applied.

Reconfigurable
Architecture and
Mobility Management for
Next-Generation Wireless
IP Networks

There are many incompatible wireless systems. How to integrate them has
become an important issue. The integration should be done in both Radio
Access Networks (RANs) and Core Networks. As that in reconfigurable radio,
in this Idea we propose a reconfigurable architecture in which different
protocols can be used in core networks dynamically. More specifically, we
consider reconfigurable mobility management and propose Recon- figurable
Architecture and Mobility Platform (RAMP). RAMP can accommodate,
control, and coordinate various types of mobility management protocols.
Therefore, both network operators and users can execute different protocols
dynamically. Details of the RAMP are discussed. Both analytical model and
simulation are developed to analyze the signaling cost in the proposed RAMP.
Results show that the RAMP architecture will not incur high signaling cost. A
testbed is constructed as well. Empirical experiments are conducted to
demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed idea.

28.

Sensor-Assisted
Localization in Cellular
Systems

We investigate the use of an auxiliary network of sensors to locate mobiles in

a cellular system, based on the received signal strength at the sensor receivers
from a mobiles transmission. The investigation uses a generic path loss model
incorporating distance effects and spatially correlated shadow fading. We
describe four simple localization schemes and show that they all meet E-911
requirements in most environments. Performance can be further improved by
implementing the MMSE algorithm, which ideally reaches the Cramer-Rao
Bound. We compare the MMSE algorithm and the four simple schemes when
the model parameters are estimated via inter-sensor measurements.
