improvement in terms of quality of service, system fairness index and

system spectral efficiency

. Presented research work to research group at monthly meetings for peer

reviews and discussions

. Research Activities lead to publication in the Wireless Communication and

Networking Conference (WCNC) 2014 conference proceedings

Projects

o Proportional Fairness in Mobile Social Networks (MSNs)

o Adaptive Radio Resource Allocation in Multiuser OFDM Systems

o Energy Efficient Routing in Mobile Social Networks (MSNs)

. Performed literature survey and gained thorough understanding of LTE,

WiMAX, Wi-Fi, UMTS network, standards and protocols

. Modified existing schemes to achieve better QoS while reducing the power

consumed/cost incurred by the network

. Implemented the proposed schemes/modification using program languages,

computing and optimization tools such as C, C++, MATLAB, Simulink, GAMS,

AMPL, AIMMS

. Documented the findings into a project report and presented the work done

during in-class and research group presentations
