In this thesis, a feedback-based contention avoidance technique based on weighted Dijkstra algorithm is proposed to address the contention avoidance problem for Optical Burst Switching networks. Optical Burst Switching (OBS) has been proposed as a promising technique to support high-bandwidth, bursty data traffic in the next-generation optical Internet. Nevertheless, there are still some challenging issues that need to be solved to achieve an effective implementation of OBS. Contention problem occurs when two or more bursts are destined for the same wavelength. To solve this problem, various reactive contention resolution methods have been proposed in the literature. However, many of them are very vulnerable to network load and may suffer severe loss in case of heavy traffic. By proactively controlling the overall traffic, network is able to update itself in case of high congestion and by means of this method; contention avoidance can be achieved efficiently. The performance analysis of the proposed algorithm is presented through network simulation results provided by OMNET++ simulation environment. The simulation results show that the proposed contention avoidance technique significantly reduces the burst loss probability as compared to networks without any contention avoidance techniques.

Improvements to neural network based restoration in optical networks Türk, Fethi; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008) Performance of neural network based restoration of optical networks is evaluated and a few possible improvements are proposed. Neural network based restoration is simulated with optical link capacities assigned by a new method. Two new improvement methods are developed to reduce the neural network size and the restoration time of severed optical connections. Cycle based restoration is suggested, which reduces the neural network structure by restoring the severed connections for each optical node, iterativel...
A fluid dynamics framework for control of mobile robot networks Paç, Muhammed Raşid; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) This thesis proposes a framework for controlling mobile robot networks based on a fluid dynamics paradigm. The approach is inspired by natural behaviors of fluids demonstrating desirable characteristics for collective robots. The underlying mathematical formalism is developed through establishing analogies between fluid bodies and multi-robot systems such that robots are modeled as fluid elements that constitute a fluid body. The governing equations of fluid dynamics are adapted to multi-robot systems and a...
An online sequential algorithm for the estimation of transition probabilities forjump Markov linear systems Orguner, Umut (Elsevier BV, 2006-10-01) This paper describes a new method to estimate the transition probabilities associated with a jump Markov linear system. The new algorithm uses stochastic approximation type recursions to minimize the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the likelihood function of the transition probabilities and the true likelihood function. Since the calculation of the likelihood function of the transition probabilities is impossible, an incomplete data paradigm, which has been previously applied to a similar problem for hi...
A General Framework for Optimum Iterative Blockwise Equalization of Single Carrier MIMO Systems and Asymptotic Performance Analysis Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013-02-01) The paper proposes a general framework for both time-domain (TD) and frequency-domain (FD) iterative blockwise equalization in single carrier (SC) wideband multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) channels. First, a novel turbo blockwise operating equalizer structure is proposed by jointly optimizing the feed-forward and feedback filters at each iteration based on the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) criterion. Optimization of the filter coefficients, utilized for feed-forward equalization and decision feedba...
A comparative evaluation of conventional and particle filter based radar target tracking Yıldırım, Berkin; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) In this thesis the radar target tracking problem in Bayesian estimation framework is studied. Traditionally, linear or linearized models, where the uncertainty in the system and measurement models is typically represented by Gaussian densities, are used in this area. Therefore, classical sub-optimal Bayesian methods based on linearized Kalman filters can be used. The sequential Monte Carlo methods, i.e. particle filters, make it possible to utilize the inherent non-linear state relations and non-Gaussian no...
