6 Mitigation of Ionospheric Scintillation Effects from GPS

3 CommunicationAdnanMir

Description Global Positioning System (GPS) are efficiently utilized in military and civilian aircraft whereby the

aircraft optimum navigation system consists of both embedded GPS and Inertial Navigational Systems (INS) with a high accuracy of 1Nm/hour or less. Various attributes such as Ionospheric loses of the signals transmitted by the orbiting satellite, their clock synchronization, earth density etc results in relatively degraded performance of the GPS. Continuous efforts are been exerted to bring technological enhancements for increasing the efficiency of GPS signal integrity.

GPS signal are greatly affected by the earth Ionospheric layer in terms of its degraded signal strength, which in some cases may cause loss of the carrier lock. This phenomenon is more pronounced in the afternoon (especially after the sunset) period whereby a rapid change in the phase and amplitude of the transionospheric radio signals (Ionospheric Scintillation) are observed.

The aim of this project is to critically analyze the existing Ionosphere Scintillations, its effects on GPS and Augmentation Systems. For better understanding, Ionospheric positioning errors on a GPS signal will be estimated using GISM and upon successful completion of the abovementioned analysis, methods to reduce these losses can be proposed .

7 Design of a PBX (Private Branch Exchange) using ASTERISK

3 CommunicationAdnanMir

Description Asterisk is a free software/open-source software implementation of a telephone private branch exchange (PBX). Like any PBX, it allows a number of attached telephones to make calls to one another, and to connect to other telephone services including the PSTN. Originally designed for the Linux operating system, Asterisk now also runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, Sun Solaris, and Microsoft Windows, although as the "native" platform, Linux is the best-supported of these (and that is why we will be using Linux in our project).

Asterisk provides most features of traditional PBXs, such as voice mail services, call conferencing, ACD (Automatic Call Distribution), and IVR (Interactive Voice Response), to name just a few. In addition, it can handle call queuing, bridging, and conference calling with the use of virtual conference rooms.

Support for multiple protocols including H.323, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), and the proprietary protocol IAX2 (Inter-Asterisk eXchange 2) ensures connectivity.

In this project we have to setup a PBX for any office environment. Initially it will be for 5 users in an office. All users are connected over LAN, so we will utilize the existing LAN to build an IP exchange.

We will be using Asterisk as for Soft PBX. Students’ task is to create

- A dial plan for 6 users for SIP channels, 5 internal clients and 1 for external client

- Voicemail box for each user - Billing system for calling the external client - Conference Call - Call waiting - Caller Identification - Audio on Hold - Call transfer

13 Acoustic Source Localization 3 – 4 Research Alam Zaib

Description Acoustic source localization using microphone arrays has a wide range of potential applications, e.g., teleconferencing, assisted navigation, robotics, and defense. In this work, we shall focus on implementing and comparing different methods for estimating the acoustic-source position in two dimensions (2D) using a microphone array and analyzing the performance of algorithms analytically using numerical examples and real experiments. Diverse set of solutions have been proposed to solve source localization which mainly fall into three categories: (i) differential signal amplitude (ii) Time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA), and (iii) comparison of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates. Our focus will be on simple cross-correlation (CC) and Generalized cross correlation (GCC) based approaches for Time-delay estimation; a critical step in acoustic source localization. We shall derive source-position coordinate estimates as a function of the time delay of the acoustic-source plane-wave between two different microphones pairs. Then we analyze the algorithm performance as a function of the sensing device configuration, such as spatial and temporal sampling. We shall demonstrate the performance by analyzing the system when using numerical examples and real experiments.

14 Implementation of an

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system

3 – 4 Simulation / Implementation

Alam Zaib

Description OFDM is a scheme used in the area of high-data-rate mobile wireless communications such as cellular phones, satellite communications and digital audio broadcasting. For higher symbol rates, the effects of ISI – inter symbol interference, must be dealt with seriously which leads to an increase in errors. This technique is mainly utilized to combat inter-symbol interference (ISI). The project will be divided into simulation and implementation phases. Through MATLAB® simulation, an understanding of the mathematical algorithms involved in this communication technique will be developed. Simulation of a transmitter, a receiver, and a channel will be included. Following simulation, a small-scale real-time implementation of OFDM communication will be developed on a DSP board available in our laboratory. The single input to either phase of the design will be any digital signal. This can range from simple binary data to sampled sound signals.

15 A Cross Layer Design for mobile Wireless Sensor Networks.

3 MuhammadAmir Khan

Description If nodes are mobile in an ad hoc network then they can join, leave or rejoin the network at any time and at any location therefore existing links may disappear and new links may be formed as the nodes move. Mobile wireless sensor networks are more difficult to deal with as compared to static networks due to rapid changing topology of network and frequent path breakage. Path breakage results in large packet delay and packet loss, hence more energy consumption. If multi hop communication is considered then path breakage is a very serious issue and path breakage is substantially very large as compared to static networks. In order to deal with path breakage some path recovery and maintenance mechanism can be used, but they are very costly in terms of energy utilization. And as energy is very scarce in sensor network, therefore such path recovery and maintenance mechanisms can not be applied.

Therefore the objective of study is to propose and develop a cross layer design for wireless sensor networks in order to deal with mobility in such networks. This cross layer design should contain a robust and efficient recovery mechanism to decrease packet loss as well as to reduce the energy consumption during recovery process.

16 EFFECT OF OBSTACLES ON LOCALIZATION ACCURACY

3 MuhammadAmir Khan

Description Mobile localization problems have been extensively studied in ROBOTICS. Robots find their location based on sense data and their position. Ladd et al.[11] has used Robotic localization using RF signal strength received mechanism to achieve accurate wireless network nodes location. This method perform well for indoor localization but it requires a learning phase, so this method is not enough efficient.

Monto Carlo Localization was developed for robots localization. "It is a particle filter combined with protoplasmic models of Robot perception and motion". Monto Corlo method uses some weighted samples. Each phase is consisting on prediction phase and update phase. MCL applies sequential Monto Carlo method in order to achieve localization of nodes. This method improves the accuracy of nodes with reduced cost.

Obstacles in a network effect the localization of sensor nodes and causes radio irregularity in sensor networks obstacles degrades the overall performance of the network. Hongyang Chen et al. proposed their method for mobility assisted network where obstacles effects the location accuracy. They developed novel localization cooperative method based on convex optimization method. Their method work in case of feasible as well as infeasible nodes existence. This method follows boundary recognition algorithm. This method is only Range based method.

Haowan Chann et al. proposed a method that is based on DV-HOP method and work even in case of existence of obstacles for which DV-HOP method fails. This method makes no assumption about internal topology of deployment area which was the great drawback of DV-HOP count method. This method can even re-create physical topology of network. They propose a cluster based mechanism and it require no no ranging and measuring equipment and no larger range beacons.

MuhammadAmir Khan

Description The conventional layered-protocol architecture does not provide optimal performance for wireless mesh

networks (WMNs)[2].Multi-channel WMNs aim to provide the wireless broadband network access everywhere. In WMNs, the problem of how, to efficiently utilize multiple orthogonal channels and spectrum management to enhance the network capacity and the aggregate throughput has attracted much attention. Moreover, the interference problem in the wireless channels has made such problem more difficult . The method of optimization disintegration of the protocol stack can achieve optimal network performance. To get the optimal performance a cross layer design of physical and mac layer is required for single radio and multi channels WMNs[1]. The goal of this cross layer design approach is to minimize the cost and increase the performance in terms of throughput and service availability.

55 Ultra Wide Band antenna design

3 AntennaJamal Nasir

Description Ultra Wideband Radio (UWB) is a potentially revolutionary approach to wireless communication in that it transmits and receives pulse based waveforms compressed in time rather than sinusoidal waveforms compressed in frequency. This is contrary to the traditional convention of transmitting over a very narrow bandwidth of frequency, typical of standard narrowband systems such as 802.11a, b, and Bluetooth. This enables transmission over a wide swath of frequencies such that a very low power spectral density can be successfully received.

In February 2004, the FCC allocated the 3.1-10.6 GHz spectrum for unlicensed use. This enabled the use and marketing of products which incorporate UWB technology. Since the allocation of the UWB frequency band, a great deal of interest has generated in industry.

Motivation for Ultra Wideband Antenna Design

UWB has had a substantial effect on antenna design. Given that antenna research for most narrowband systems is relatively mature, coupled with the fact that the antenna has been a fundamental challenge of the UWB radio system, UWB has piqued a surge of interest in antenna design by providing new challenges and opportunities for antenna designers. The main challenge in UWB antenna design is achieving the wide impedance

bandwidth while still maintaining high radiation efficiency. Spanning 7.5 GHz, almost a decade of frequency, this bandwidth goes beyond the typical definition of a wideband antenna. UWB antennas are typically required to attain a bandwidth, which reaches greater than 100% of the center frequency to ensure a sufficient impedance match is attained throughout the band such that a power loss less than 10% due to reflections occurs at the antenna terminals.

Pre Requisite

56 Antenna Design for Notebook Computers

3 AntennasJamal Nasir

Description Wireless local area network (WLAN) use has increased tremendously over the past several years. According to a report, the WLAN market will grow at an annual rate of 30% per year. As a result, the unlicensed 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band has become very popular and is now widely used for several wireless communication standards. Examples include laptop computers with built-in 802.11 b/g WLAN capability and the newly developed Bluetooth™ technology for cable replacement to connect portable and/or fixed electronic devices.

There has been a trend on behalf of manufacturers to use one antenna that can operate in any of the 801.11 bands, so that coverage is nominally from 2.3-2.4 and 4.9-5.9 GHz. Therefore, the proposed antenna will cover these bands.

Pre Requisite


57 Balanced Antenna Design for WLAN and short range communication Systems

3 AntennasJamal Nasir

Description The aim of this project is to develop a balanced antenna for short range communication. The reason for using a balanced antenna is explained below.

The need to expand the bandwidth of antennas in mobile handheld devices follows from the ever- increasing data rates, and hence spectrum requirements, of mobile devices. Antennas are a major part of the complete design in mobile device design. Conventionally, the unbalanced planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) is one of the most popular candidates for compact built-in antennas for mobile handsets. PIFAs use the ground plane as a part of the radiator, which enables very small antennas

to achieve sufficient gain and bandwidth. In almost all cases, radiating currents are induced on both the ground plane and the antenna element. In use, however, these antennas exhibit poor performance when held by users. This is mainly because the user holding the mobile phone largely

takes the place of the ground plane resulting in currents flowing on the human body, which degrade the performance of the antenna's radiation properties and introduce losses and uncertainty in its matching.

Balanced antenna is a good alternative candidate since balanced currents only flow on the antenna element in this type of antenna, thus dramatically reducing the effect of current flow on the ground plane. As a result, balanced antennas should have good efficiency and more important to maintain their performance when in use adjacent to the human body.

The IR codes, as well as the command words, will be learnable. It is desired that one command will trigger multiple output IR commands. These multiple commands are known as macros. As an example, the command “system on” would result in the TV, VCR, and audio amplifier all switching on. If time permits, an X-10 transmitter will be integrated into the system to allow X-10 protocol as well as IR commands to be part of the macros.

2 E&TMuhammad Saqib khan

Description VLSI, ADLD Pre

RequisiteThe Rhino Robotic XR-2 Arm is a mechanical robot arm with six individual servo motors. Each motor controls a different movement of the arm. The arm can be moved by controlling each motor individually using analog voltages. However, it would be more user friendly to control the arm movement via a joystick or some other form of user interface. The project will be to use a joystick input interfaced through the Altera UP2 Board to control the movement of the robotic arm. The Altera Board has a FPGA (field programmable gate array) which will be programmed with VHDL

82 ACOUSTIC ECHO CANCELLATION USING DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING

3

Naseer Khan

Description Acoustic echo cancellation is a common occurrence in today’s telecommunication systems. It occurs when an audio source and sink operate in full duplex mode, an example of this is a hands-free loudspeaker telephone. In this situation the received signal is output through the telephone loudspeaker (audio source), this audio signal is then reverberated through the physical environment and picked up by the systems microphone (audio sink). The effect is the return to the distant user of time delayed and attenuated images of their original speech signal.

The signal interference caused by acoustic echo is distracting to both users and causes a

reduction in the quality of the communication. This thesis focuses on the use of adaptive

filtering techniques to reduce this unwanted echo, thus increasing communication quality.

Description Objectives:

· MATLAB knowhow. · VBLAST and SQRD study and coding. · Implantation on to hardware. Description:

· Study of VBLAST. V-BLAST is a detection algorithm to the receipt of multi-antenna MIMO systems. Available for the first time in 1996 at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey in the United States by Gerard J. Foschini. He proceeded simply to eliminate interference caused successively issuers.

· Its principle is quite simple: to make a first detection of the most powerful signal. It regenerates the received signal from this user from this decision. Then, the signal is regenerated subtracted from the received signal and, with this new sign, it proceeds to the detection of the second user's most powerful, since it has already cleared the first and so forth. What gives a vector containing received less interference.

· SQRD is a Succesive Iterative detection scheme involving interference subtraction.

· Compare performance and complexity of two algpritms. · Implement on Hardware. Tools:

· MATLAB · FPGAs/DSP kit

105 High-Resolution Fingerprint 3 SyedAyaz Ali ShahMatching Using Level 3 Features

Description Fingerprint friction ridge details are generally described in a hierarchical order at three different levels, namely, Level 1 (pattern), Level 2 (minutia points), and Level 3 (pores and ridge contours). Although latent print examiners frequently take advantage of Level 3 features to assist in identification, Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) currently rely only on Level 1 and Level 2 features. In fact, the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) standard of fingerprint resolution for AFIS is 500 pixels per inch (ppi), which is inadequate for capturing Level 3 features, such as pores. With the advances in fingerprint sensing technology, many sensors are now equipped with dual resolution (500 ppi/1,000 ppi) scanning capability. However, increasing the scan resolution alone does not necessarily provide any performance improvement in fingerprint matching, unless an extended feature set is utilized. As a result, a systematic study to determine how much performance gain one can achieve by introducing Level 3 features in AFIS is highly desired. We propose a hierarchical matching system that utilizes features at all the three levels extracted from 1,000 ppi fingerprint scans. Level 3 features, including pores and ridge contours, are automatically extracted using Gabor filters and wavelet transform and are locally matched using the Iterative Closest Point (ICP) algorithm. Experiments show that Level 3 features carry significant discriminatory information. There is a relative reduction of 20 percent in the equal error rate (EER) of the matching system when Level 3 features are employed in combination with Level 1 and 2 features. This significant performance gain is consistently observed across various quality fingerprint images.
