In today̕s world, high speed and accurate data transmission and storage is necessary in many fields of technology. The noise in the transmission channels and read-write errors occurring in the data storage devices cause data loss or slower data transmission. To solve these problems, the error rate of the received information must be minimized. Error correcting codes are used for detecting and correcting the errors. Turbo coding is an efficient error correction method which is commonly used in various communication systems. In turbo coding, some redundancy is added to the data to be transmitted. The redundant data is used to recover original data from the received data. MAP algorithm is one of the most commonly used soft decision decoding algorithms. In this thesis, hardware implementation of the MAP algorithm is studied. MAP decoding is verified on an FPGA. Virtex2Pro is the platform of choice in this study. The algorithm is written in the VHDL language. A MAP decoder is designed and its operation is verified. Using many MAP decoders concurrently, a convolutional product decoder is implemented as well. Area and speed limitations are discussed.

Providing Automated Actions in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks via Active Rules Oztarak, Hakan; Akkaya, Kemal; Yazıcı, Adnan (2011-09-28) Manual processing of multimedia data in Wireless Multimedia Sensor Networks (WMSNs) may not always be possible. This necessitates autonomous operation of data processing at the sink for taking actions as well as communicating with the appropriate personnel whenever needed. In this paper, we propose a framework for fusing and automated processing of incomplete/imprecise WMSN data using active rules. First, data fusion is performed via fuzzy logic to handle the uncertainty in the received data at the sink. We...
A singular value decomposition approach for recommendation systems Osmanlı, Osman Nuri; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Computer Engineering (2010) Data analysis has become a very important area for both companies and researchers as a consequence of the technological developments in recent years. Companies are trying to increase their profit by analyzing the existing data about their customers and making decisions for the future according to the results of these analyses. Parallel to the need of companies, researchers are investigating different methodologies to analyze data more accurately with high performance. Recommender systems are one of the most...
Image segmentation with Improved region modeling Ersoy, Ozan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) Image segmentation is an important research area in digital image processing with several applications in vision-guided autonomous robotics, product quality inspection, medical diagnosis, the analysis of remotely sensed images, etc. The aim of image segmentation can be defined as partitioning an image into homogeneous regions in terms of the features of pixels extracted from the image. Image segmentation methods can be classified into four main categories: 1) clustering methods, 2) region-based methods, 3) ...
Evaluation of core stateless guaranteed fair network architecture Akbaş, Mustafa İlhan; Bazlamaçcı, Cüneyt Fehmi; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) The problem of providing Quality of Service (QoS) in the Internet has been an extremely active area of research and various mechanisms have been proposed related to this subject. Developing network applications have requirements such as bounded delay, jitter, minimum bandwidth and maximum loss rate. There is also a need to support large bandwidth networks because of growing link speeds. Previous QoS efforts did not fully satisfy all these needs of future networks but more recent approaches aim to be both sc...
A new approach for the scalable intrusion detection in high-speed networks Şahin, Ümit Burak; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) As the networks become faster and faster, the emerging requirement is to improve the performance of the Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS) to keep up with the increased network throughput. In high speed networks, it is very difficult for the IDPS to process all the packets. Since the throughput of IDPS is not improved as fast as the throughput of the switches and routers, it is necessary to develop new detection techniques other than traditional techniques. In this thesis we propose a rule-ba...
