In this paper, we provide multiuser performance analysis of a multicarrier frequency-hopping (MC-FH) code-division multiple-access system as first introduced in the work of Lance and Kaleh. We propose to use a practical low-rate convolutional error-correcting code in this system, which does not require any additional bandwidth than what is needed by the frequency-hopping spread-spectrum modulation. We provide multiuser exact performance analysis of the system for both uncoded and coded schemes in additive white Gaussian noise and fading channels for a single-user correlator receiver. We also derive the performance analysis of the system based on a Gaussian distribution assumption for... 

We consider a wireless distributed computing system, in which multiple mobile users, connected wirelessly through an access point, collaborate to perform a computation task. In particular, users communicate with each other via the access point to exchange their locally computed intermediate computation results, which is known as data shuffling. We propose a scalable framework for this system, in which the required communication bandwidth for data shuffling does not increase with the number of users in the network. The key idea is to utilize a particular repetitive pattern of placing the data set (thus a particular repetitive pattern of intermediate computations), in order to provide the... 

The demand for robust computation systems has led to the increment of the number of processing cores in current chips. As the number of processing cores increases, current electrical communication means can introduce serious challenges in system performance due to the restrictions in power consumption and communication bandwidth. Contemporary progresses in silicon nano-photonic technology have provided a suitable platform for constructing photonic communication links as an alternative for overcoming such problems. Topology is one of the most significant characteristics of photonic interconnection networks. In this paper, we have introduced a novel topology, aiming to reduce insertion loss in...
