Course Projects

Two projects during the semester. One literature survey and one on

simulation analysis/development

Purpose is to deepen and/or broaden the student knowledge and

abilities in wireless systems

All students are required to do two projects/semester paper being

worth 10% of the final grade. The projects would involve a critical

review of literature and a programming project or a simulation or

analytical study.

The project may be done individually or in teams of two students,

provided that the tasks of each team member are clearly identified.

Course Projects

All projects must be approved by the instructor. You are

encouraged to discuss project ideas with the instructor and to

submit your proposal as early as possible.

You would be required to work on a network simulator package

such as Matlab, ns-2, OPNET or similar

You are required to choose project topics within the first three

weeks of classes.  

The projects will be completed in three phases, each being

graded separately.
