| - | Bachelor semester project: | + | ==== Wireless communication system using Software Defined Radio platforms ==== |
| \\ | \\ | ||
| + | **Background:**\\ | ||
| + | Software Defined Radio (SDR) is a new paradigm that allows to change any aspect | ||
| + | of a communication protocol, including the signaling method, by changing the | ||
| + | software. The only limitation is the bandwidth of RF (radio frequency) part.\\ | ||
| + | At LCM (Mobile Communications Laboratory), we are currently | ||
| + | using the bladeRF SDR platform (http://www.nuand.com/) for various | ||
| + | projects and purposes, including for example the acquisition of a GPS | ||
| + | signal (which is used in the SDR class).\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **Objectives:**\\ | ||
| + | The goal of this project is to implement an over-the-air communication | ||
| + | system using two bladeRF modules, one at each end of the wireless link. | ||
| + | Some of the basic blocks are already implemented in Matlab (data source, | ||
| + | modulator, pulse shaper, matched filter, demodulator, error correction mechanism).\\ | ||
| + | In order to have a fully operational | ||
| + | wireless link, there are several modules that are still missing. The purpose of this project | ||
| + | is to implement them. First, one needs to | ||
| + | perform the clock synchronization between the transmitter and the receiver. | ||
| + | Next, one has to synchronize the received data and detect the start/end | ||
| + | of the transmitted blocks/frames. Finally, one has to estimate the | ||
| + | channel parameters, using some training data. Once these blocks are implemented, | ||
| + | a fully operational transmission chain should be demonstrated.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | \\ | ||
| + | **Prerequisites:** | ||
| + | Matlab, COM-302 Principles of digital communications (or equivalent).\\ | ||
| + | (COM-511 Software-defined radio: A hands-on course is a plus. This can be taken in parallel.)\\ | ||
