PROJECTS

Linux:

. Implemented a client server model for bandwidth estimation using

packet dispersion technique based on UDP protocol in wireless network

(802.11g) using C programming.

. Generated two UDP socket applications when run on two networked hosts

will allow us to estimate the bandwidth and packet error rate between

the two hosts.

Matlab:

. Implemented an OFDM modem as a 128 form transform with 54 occupied

frequency bins. Generated OFDM symbols with cyclic prefix and preamble

then passes through channel with impulse response. Demodulated this

symbol and performed channel estimation.

. Implemented orthogonal frequency division multiple access in downlink

and single carrier frequency division multiple access in uplink

(OFDMA/SC-FDMA) for LTE.

. Implemented Channel bonding and channel loading for fixed carrier

spacing in OFDM using graphical user interface (GUI). Plotted various

results in real time to show how channel bonding and channel loading

can be used to bond fragmented TV channel (6 MHz) to increase channel

width (Scalable Bandwidth). Also published IEEE paper on the same

topic in GLOBECOM 2011.

TinyOs:

. Implemented a dynamic self organizing multi hop wireless adhoc network

on micaz sensor motes (crossbow technology) in cygwin environment

using NesC. Interfaced MTS 300 sensor module with micaz motes and

sensed temperature and light, shown this reading in real time using

GUI in MATLAB.

WireShark/IDE:

. Generated a MAC header format to support different data rate for

802.11n using embedded C in eclipse. Using AirPcap nx (Cace

Technologies) designed packet generator for 802.11n and captured

packets in wire shark. Designed packet generator to support features

like MIMO, MAC aggregation and HT mode.

. Implemented a Sliding window protocol to support serial communication

using RS 232 cable in C.

Opnet:

. Designed a fully scheduled link layer and MAC layer for new wireless

network which supports the features of 802.11n and peer to peer

communication. Implemented detailed state transition diagrams for each

process of this network model in Opnet.
