RP-CDMA is a wireless multiple access technique that utilizes multiple spreading codes and a multiuser detector to enhance link reliability and performance. We propose a simple MAC protocol on top of the RP-CDMA Phy and apply it to the multihop ad hoc network model. In addition to a MAC, we...

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Canadian men. The standard treatment in high-risk category is radical radiation, with androgen suppression treatment (AST). Significant disease progression is reported despite this approach. Radiation dose escalation has been shown to improve...

A significant challenge for fourth generation cellular systems is the reliable delivery of high speed (up to 1 gigabit per second) data to mobile or nomadic users throughout a cluttered urban environment. The wireless channel is a difficult channel over which to achieve high rate reliable...

Machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) have many promises but also raise many concerns and challenges. In particular, when several users collaborate in training an ML model, preserving the privacy of their data is quite challenging. Federated learning (FL), as an ML technique...

A prototype system which has integrated a linear accelerator (linac) with a magnetic resonance imager (MRI) has been constructed at the Cross Cancer Institute. The real time operation of a linac-MRI system will require proper radio frequency (RF) shielding such that the MRI images can be acquired...

Interference is known as a major obstacle for the spectral efficiency increase promised by multiple-antenna techniques in cellular wireless communications. Recently, it has been shown that multi-cell coordination can mitigate interference and improve system performance dramatically. Hence, we...
