Wireless Electronic Notice Board: October 2009

• Aim of this project was to get a notice board which can be accessed using GSM technology, making it very useful application in schools, colleges, malls, hotels, etc.

Wireless Power Transmission: April 2012

• Aim of this project was to transfer power wirelessly for electrical devices. Project was based on the principle of inductive power transfer.

Network Protocol Lab assignment: September 2016

• Analyzed live network traffic and packet capture of various layer2 and layer3 protocols. Implemented the working of Pingplotter with Wireshark to vary the packet size in bytes to detect fragmentation of datagram. Wireless Lab: February 2016

• Performed wireless labs on OPNET modular based on various scenarios in LTE. Packet Analysis using Wireshark December 2016

• Analyze how packets are sent and received by using a web browser and to study the protocols used by it. Capturing and Analyzing traffic for various network protocols like HTTP, DNS, DHCP, TCP, Ethernet and ARP. Embedded Wireless Design lab: November 2017

• Labs gave exposure to a wide variety of real-world experiences in wireless communications and networking using FPGAs

(WARP board) equipped with embedded microprocessors. Channel selection using SNR (RSSI) for 2.4 and 5 GHZ band: November 2017

• Generated a smart channel selection algorithm for 2.4 and 5 GHZ band which helps in channel selection, minimizing the latency. This Channel selection algorithm was implemented on the WARP board. SKILLS
