Nanoscale communications is an appealing domain in nanotechnology. Novel nanoscale communications techniques are currently being devised inspired by some naturally existing phenomena such as the molecular communications governing cellular signaling mechanisms. Among these, neuro-spike communications, which governs the communications between neurons, is a vastly unexplored area. The ultimate goal of this paper is to accurately investigate nanoscale neuro-spike communications characteristics through the development of a realistic physical channel model between two neurons. The neuro-spike communications channel is analyzed based on the probability of error and delay in spike detection at the output. The derived communication theoretical channel model may help designing novel artificial nanoscale communications methods for the realization of future practical nanonetworks, which are the interconnections of nanomachines.

A physical channel model and analysis of nanoscale neuro-spike communication Balevi, Eren; Akan, Özgür Barış; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) Nanoscale communication is appealing domain in nanotechnology. There are many existing nanoscale communication methods. In addition to these, novel techniques can be derived depending on the naturally existing phenomena such as molecular communication. It uses molecules as an information carrier such as molecular motors, pheromones and neurotransmitters for neuro-spike communication. Among them, neuro-spike communication is a vastly unexplored area. The ultimate goal of this thesis is to accurately investig...
An Experimental Comparison of Messaging Protocols MQTT and COAP Çoban, Hasan Faruk; Betin Can, Aysu; Department of Information Systems (2017) As the attention towards to Internet of Things (IoT) increases recently, the need for the infrastructure that carries the communication between nodes, which have limited resources, also increases. The network beneath applications has direct effect on resilience of IoT environments. Due to the advances on mobile devices in terms of more powerful hardware, developers focused on mobile applications. However, solid network structures are needed for these applications. To match these needs several protocols are ...
A Scheduling method for sporadic traffics in industrial IoT Özceylan, Baver; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Internet of Things technology continues to develop as a commercial value and it has become one of the core elements of Industry 4.0 paradigm. Together with that, IEEE 802.15.4e standard provides Time-Slotted Channel Hopping (TSCH) operation mode especially for industrial applications that have strict QoS requirements. In spite of the fact that the standard defines frame structure in MAC layer, there has been no standardization in scheduling for TSCH frame yet. It brings serious challenge for engineering des...
Implementation and evaluation of a synchronous time-slotted medium access protocol for networked industrial embedded systems Gözcü, Ahmet Korhan; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) Dynamic Distributed Dependable Real-time Industrial communication Protocol family (D3RIP), has been proposed in the literature considering the periodic or event-based traffic characteristics of the industrial communication networks. D3RIP framework consists of two protocol families: Interface Layer (IL) protocol family, which is responsible for providing the accurate time-division multiple access (TDMA) on top of a shared-medium broadcast channel, and Coordination Layer (CL), which is defined to fulfill the...
Novel methods in modulation and detection of terahertz waves for imaging applications Takan, Taylan; Altan, Hakan; Department of Physics (2018) Terahertz radiation, due to its unique properties offers a plethora of possibilities of applications in various domains including security & defense, communications, material characterization, product inspection and medical imaging. In all these fields, cost-effective, high-resolution, and high-speed terahertz imaging is a greatly desired technology. However due the inherent challenges associated with terahertz detection, building a terahertz imaging system that satisfies all these requirements necessitates...
