Spring 2023 -CSC/ECE 575 Wireless Networks - Project Description

This term project encourages students to collaborate as a team with 2 or 3 members, while single-team member is acceptable without extra credit.

The project will be graded on a scale of 100, with 15% weight toward the ﬁnal grades. Each student can chose either one of the following three options.

Potentially, there could be up to 5 extra credits for the project.

Option 1: Self-Designed Project

This option is for students who have research or ongoing jobs that are relevant to wireless networking, and plan to advance their progress by taking the opportunity of this class. This option is available to both in-class and DE students. The speciﬁc requirements are as follows:

Submit a project proposal prior to March 27, 2023 and schedule a personal meeting with the instructor prior to March 31 (Friday) to ﬁnalize the project objectives and approaches.

The speciﬁc topics must involve understanding, design, and applications of wireless techniques, and can be evaluated with measurable performance and comparative studies.

● A set of diversities that are unique for wireless networking must be considered, such as wireless channels and mobility, or cross-radio access technologies.

● The project can be carried out by two or three students as a team.

Option 2: Literature Review on Selected Topics for DE students (Sole)

This project will be a literature review and presented as a survey-paper. This project is speciﬁcally designed for DE students who have diﬃculties in software and hardware access. For in-class students who are willing to take this project, the total weight will be reduced to 10% and additional 5% will be added to the ﬁnal. The speciﬁc requirements are as follows:

The topics can span all areas relating to wireless networks in general, from fundamental techniques, like duplex-transmission, coding, to key challenges, such as security and authentication, scheduling, software-deﬁned networks, to applications in E-health and E-learning, smart communities and more.

The speciﬁc topic will be discussed by including 8-12 (long) papers, which means each paper is between 8 pages to 15 pages, by and large.

Enumeration of papers is NOT allowed, which means, the papers included must be summarized, organized, classiﬁed by presenting a comparative and classiﬁed study with tables and charts, rather than enlisting the paper’s contents one by one.

There are no more than 5 ﬁgures taken from the literature for the entire report.

Option 3: 5G/LTE and WLAN Simulations

The goal of this project is by using Matlab toolbox, student(s) 1) learn and understand detailed functions and procedures of 5G-LTE/WLAN components; 2) build a wireless network infrastructure by considering a wide variety of physical diversity, users, mobility, and application/traﬃc patterns; 3) evaluate perfor- mance metrics and design guidelines for potential enhancements. Each of the above objectives can also be considered as diﬀerent phases.

This project will beneﬁt students who are interested in systematic view of applying wireless technologies, as well as people who target at leadership and administrative careers.

LTE Simulations: Study the eﬀect of radio links, MCS, spectrum access schemes, mobility, antennas, number of users, network architecture on 5G/LTE throughput. The detailed objectives are as follows:

1. Simulate an LTE or 5G system with three eNodeB/ngNodeB - one is the serving eNodeB/ngNodeB and the other two are the interfering eNodeB/ngNodeB.

2. Measure and plot the throughput of a UE in the serving cell, thereby measuring the eﬀects of physical diversity

3. Observe and comment on the eﬀect of diﬀerent channel delay proﬁles, Doppler frequencies, number of MIMO receive antennas and modulation schemes.

4. A set of diversities that are unique for wireless networking must be considered, such as antenna parameters, MIMO, wireless channels, and mobility, etc..

Project Progress and Report for ALL teams

Each team is encouraged, but not required, to submit a weekly report on Moodle page to stay on the track and schedule. The weekly report can be as brief as itemized bullets along with a couple of ﬁgures, no more than 2 pages. The team is encouraged to share the list of selected papers and references with the instructor.

A ﬁnal report (along with a presentation no more than 5-minutes - details will be announced in the week of 4/24/2023, based on students’ schedule and feedback). The report should use 11pt font in romans and aerials series, single-line space, 1-inch edge space. The entire report is expected to be 15-18 pages long, including references and should not include more than 12 (combined) tables and ﬁgures. The report is due on 5/3/2023 (Wednesday).

The project will be graded based on project report (60%), presentation/demo (30%), and progress updates (10%).
