In this thesis, a new stack architecture for sensor networks is proposed. The stack consists of the following layers: application, query, aggregation, network, MAC and physical. Various algorithms are implemented using this stack and it is shown that this stack is modular. Following an overview of sensor networks, the previous protocol stack suggestions for sensor networks are examined. Sensor network algorithms that can be classified as sensor data management systems are surveyed and compared with each other. Four of the surveyed algorithms, namely, TAG, Synopsis Diffusion, Tributary-Delta and Directed Diffusion are implemented using the introduced stack. The implementation is performed using a sensor network model developed with OMNeT++ simulator. The simulation results are compared to the original results of these algorithms. Obtaining similar results, the stack and algorithm implementations are validated, moreover, it is shown that the stack does not induce any performance degradation. Using the implementation details of the algorithms, the modularity of the suggested stack is demonstrated. Finally, additional benefits of the stack are discussed.

Parallel decodable channel coding implemented on a MIMO testbed Aktaş, Tuğcan; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis considers the real-time implementation phases of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication system. The parts which are related to the implementation detail the blocks realized on a field programmable gate array (FPGA) board and define the connections between these blocks and typical radio frequency front-end modules assisting the wireless communication. Two sides of the implemented communication testbed are discussed separately as the transmitter and the receiver parts. In a...
Application of ODSA to population calculation Ulukaya, Mustafa; Demirbaş, Kerim; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, Optimum Decoding-based Smoothing Algorithm (ODSA) is applied to well-known Discrete Lotka-Volterra Model. The performance of the algorithm is investigated for various parameters by simulations. Moreover, ODSA is compared with the SIR Particle Filter Algorithm. The advantages and disadvantages of the both algorithms are presented.
Implementation of a DF algorithm on an FPGA platform İpek, Abdullah Volkan; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis work, the implementations of the monopulse amplitude comparison and phase comparison DF algorithms are performed on an FPGA platform. After the mathematical formulation of the algorithms using maximum-likelihood approach is done, software simulations are carried out to validate and find the DF accuracies of the algorithms under various conditions. Then the algorithms are implemented on an FPGA platform by utilizing platform specific software tools. Block diagrams of the hardware implementatio...
Direction of arrival estimation by array interpolation in randomly distributed sensor arrays Akyıldız, Işın; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In this thesis, DOA estimation using array interpolation in randomly distributed sensor arrays is considered. Array interpolation is a technique in which a virtual array is obtained from the real array and the outputs of the virtual array, computed from the real array using a linear transformation, is used for direction of arrival estimation. The idea of array interpolation techniques is to make simplified and computationally less demanding high resolution direction finding methods applicable to the general...
Analysis of circular waveguides coupled by axially uniform slots Öztürk, Mensur; Çağlayan, Fatih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) The characteristics of slotted circular waveguides with different dimensions, including cutoff frequencies of TE and TM modes, impedance and modal field distributions will be analyzed using the generalized spectral domain approach. The Method of Moment will be applied, basis functions that include the edge conditions will be used and a computer program will be developed. Obtained results will be presented for different number, depth and thickness of coupling slots, and compared with available data to demons...
