SUMMARY:Mostafa Abedi PhD Proposal Review
DESCRIPTION:Title: Power-Efficient and Security-Enhancing Techniques for Ultra-low Power IoT  Devices \nCommittee Members: \nProf. Aatmesh Shrivastava (Advisor)\nProf. Marvin Onabajo\nProf. Nian X. Sun \nAbstract:\nInternet-of-things (IoT) devices often rely on ambient energy sources such as photovoltaic (PV) cells and thermoelectric generators (TEGs) for their operation. Minimizing power loss through ambient energy harvesting optimization can significantly extend the battery life or support battery-free sensor nodes in IoT devices. A maximum power point tracking (MPPT) circuit is often used for impedance matching to maximize energy transfer efficiency. This research proposes an ultra-low power\, high-tracking efficiency MPPT circuit based on Hill-Climbing (HC) algorithm suitable for micro-power DC harvesters. The proposed system employs a modified version of the hill-climbing algorithm. In case of input power changes and consequent deviation of the harvester from the MPP\, an integrated Power Change Detector (PCD) is proposed to reactivate the MPPT circuit. The PCD detects changes in input power and activates the MPPT circuit\, enabling automatic activation and resulting in substantial power savings. Furthermore\, due to the proposed power estimation technique\, the MPPT is not dependent on the internal structure of the energy source\, and its tracking efficiency is unrelated to the conversion ratio of the converter. This approach enables us to achieve a peak tracking efficiency of over 99.9\%. To adjust the input power of the harvester to track the maximum power point\, we propose a new\, efficient Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) circuit. This circuit exhibits a wide duty cycle range\, low power consumption\, linearity\, and robustness against variations. \nThis research also focuses on increasing the security of IoT devices. In the past\, chip fabrication was mostly done internally by semiconductor firms. Now\, it is more collaborative\, pulling in designs from various sources and having a few factories produce them. This new way of working means that companies that only handle design might face more challenges like the threat of hardware Trojans (HT) being added either during the design phase or production. With that in mind\, we introduce a different circuit design approach. We aim to find these Trojans\, particularly the newer analog Trojans. The idea is to boost the security of IoT devices by detecting these issues early. In addition\, to improve the security of IoT systems\, we propose an ultra-low power energy monitoring system (EMS) to detect and mitigate denial-of-sleep (DoSL) attacks. In this project\, we explore a new method of defense against DoSL attacks by monitoring energy consumption. We will implement a low-power system to monitor the lifetime of the IoT node by continuously evaluating the harvested\, stored\, and consumed energy in the node.

SUMMARY:Zhengnan Li PhD Proposal
DESCRIPTION:Title:\nMulti-user Communications \nDate:\n9/19/2023 \nTime:\n10:00:00 AM \nLocation:\nISEC 432 \nCommittee Members:\nProf. Milica Stojanovic (Advisor)\nDr. Xiaowen Wang (Apple)\nProf. Tommaso Melodia \nAbstract:\nExtensive research has been conducted with respect to underwater acoustic communications and networking\, owing to their profound importance in various applications\, such as fish farming and the oil-and-gas industry. Acoustic networks involve scenarios where multiple users necessitate transmitting data to a central base station. Techniques such as time-division or code-division multiple access are commonly employed in such networks. However\, these techniques entail a trade-off: each user’s transmission rate remains confined to a fraction of the overall available resources. Consequently\, the endeavor to accommodate an increased number of users within the usable resources results in a diminished data rate for each user. Conversely\, if the goal is to maintain a consistent per-user data rate\, the acquisition of additional bandwidth becomes imperative. Yet\, the feasibility of this approach is challenged by the inherent limitations of available bandwidth in underwater acoustic systems. \nIn this proposal\, I will present preliminary findings that involve the utilization of code and space division multiple access systems in conjunction with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)\, which is a key enabler for the current and future generations of wireless systems. Additionally\, the proposal delves into the prospect of establishing an underwater acoustic channel repository—an effort designed to emulate underwater acoustic channels\, thereby alleviating the necessity for extensive real-world underwater experimentation. This proposal also includes several recent long-distance underwater experiments carried out in Japan\, examining various ideas regarding the frequency offset compensation problem in OFDM systems. Furthermore\, beyond the outcomes in underwater acoustic communication\, this proposal encompasses a series of explorations involving micro electromechanical systems (MEMS) and the utilization of terahertz frequencies.
