Advanced nodes decouple contacted poly pitch (CPP) and lower-metal pitch to improve routability. We present CPCell, an efficient standard-cell layout generation framework, to support arbitrary gear ratio (GR) and offset parameters through a…
The problem of cell association is considered for cellular users present in the field. This has become a challenging problem with the deployment of 5G networks which will share the sub-6 GHz bands with the legacy 4G networks. Instead of…
The interference management technique that treats interference as noise (TIN) is optimal when the interference is sufficiently low. Scheduling algorithms based on the TIN optimality condition have recently been proposed, e.g., for…
The need to carry out analytical studies of wireless systems often motivates the usage of simplified models which, despite their tractability, can easily lead to an overestimation of the achievable performance. In the case of dense small…
When dedicated positioning systems, such as GPS, are unavailable, a mobile device has no choice but to fall back on its cellular network for localization. Due to random variations in the channel conditions to its surrounding base stations…
The IEEE 802.11 protocol is a popular standard for wireless local area networks. Its medium access control layer (MAC) is a carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) design and includes an exponential backoff…
At advanced process nodes, pattern matching techniques have been used in the detection of lithography hotspots, which can affect yields of manufactured integrated circuits. Although commercial pattern matching and in-design hotspot fixing…

Technology mapping involves mapping logical circuits to a library of cells. Traditionally, the full technology library is used, leading to a large search space and potential overhead. Motivated by randomly sampled technology mapping case…
We spot a hole in the area of succinct data structures for graph classes from a universe of size at most $n^n$. Very often, the input graph is labeled by the user in an arbitrary and easy-to-use way, and the data structure for the graph…
Searching for the architecture cells is a dominant paradigm in NAS. However, little attention has been devoted to the analysis of the cell-based search spaces even though it is highly important for the continual development of NAS. In this…
