Bachelor in Science in Electronics and Instrumentation May 2012

SRM University, Chennai, India

SKILLS :

Wireless Skills : RF Theory, 3G/4G, GSM, CDMA, EVDO, HSDPA, OFDM, optical OFDM, LTE, 802.11 family,

RF Theory, Antenna and Cell Site Concepts

Network and Protocols : TCP/IP,UDP, Distributed Bellman-Ford, Dijkstra, RIP, EIGRP, IGRP, OSPF, RPR, OTN, SONET

PROJECTS :

WiFi Spectrum and Interference Analysis, Project Member September – December 2012

Collected and analyzed the WiFi signal network of the university and home routers and surveyed the interference from

Bluetooth, wireless devices, microwave on the WLAN through heat maps using WiSpy DBx dongle and Visiwave

Mapped the interference pattern on the signal, identifying the type and nature of interference

Succeeded in exporting the Wi-Fi and GPS data to KML file to view in Google Earth

Triumphantly analyzed the Wi-Fi spectrum by site surveying at various places in the university for higher dBm, SSID,

channels and observed frequency hopping of Wi-Fi signals using the Xirrus Analysis software

Cell Site Deployment, Project Member October-December 2012

Designed and model tuned cellular towers to deploy GSM wireless network for areas in and around Washington

downtown on Mentum Planet

Deployed 23 3-sectored sites to extemporized cellular coverage by varying the antenna height, azimuth

Optimized the antenna installment according to the area by using more antennas in the downtown to have more

coverage to minimum antennas in the rural areas, ensuring minimum coverage of -90dBm

Acquired the knowledge about cellular hand-offs, interference on the ProScout Software through a drive test.

JAVA Program for a distributed networking application, Individual Project October-November 2012

Developed a Java a UDP socket Program for a reliable data transfer between the transmitter and receiver

Data packet, as large as 30 bytes including the overhead, was sent from transmitter to receiver and acknowledgment

of 8 bytes was sent by the receiver to transmitter

Comparison of MANET Routing Protocols, Group Project January-May 2013

Effectively compared the OLSR and AODV routing protocols of MANET using OPNET Modeller

Closely observed that outputs like delay, throughput, overhead varied differently for both the protocols, by changing

the parameters like the number of nodes, mobility speed, hello interval using ftp traffic

Determined that AODV gives more delay than OLSR, while in terms overhead, results were opposite
