PROJECTS

DHCP server configuration and verification (Packet Tracer): Developed a DHCP server-client model on the IOS in packet tracer. DHCP agent was configured to provide the required configuration information from the DHCP server to the remote hosts connected to the agent. Verified by examining the address obtained by the host. Configure basic routing and Switching (Packet Tracer): Using Packet tracer I have configured static routes, configured routing protocol(Ripv2), configured a switch management VLAN and in the end, have test and verified the network connectivity and working of the multi-network environment with the help of the IOS commands. Analysis of data packets using Wireshark: Studying the operation of the interface between the computer and internet. Analyzing DNS, DHCP, IPv6 protocols, three-way handshaking TCP protocols, Analyzing data collection by Wireshark for video flow on Internet with study of lost acknowledgments, transmission errors and retransmission process Network Design (December 2016): Established a network between two campuses. Specified routing protocols at each layers of this network diagram. Drew VoIP protocol stacks for the different network equipment given in the network. Estimated network bandwidths of each router and specified buffer scheduling for each router. Space Time Block Codes in Wireless Communication Systems (September 2015): Implemented the Space Time Block coding technique in a Wireless system for improving the reliability of data transmission using multiple transmit antennas. Results indicated the enhancement of coding gain during transmission. Also, the BER decreased with increase in the SNR. Study of Multiple Input and Multiple Output Simulation (January 2014): Investigated the simulation of MIMO with estimated graph of MIMO. The simulation of MIMO was done using two transmitting antennas and two receiving antennas using MATLAB to analyze noise in terms of SNR vs SER by assuming both the transmitter and receiver employ polarization.
