Project Title:
Physical
Layer Performance Enhancement Solutions for the IEEE 802.11a
and 802.16a Systems
Project Summary:
This applied research
project shall focus on innovative physical layer techniques
for improving performance of systems which use 2 key wireless
standards. The IEEE 802.11a standard has become a popular
WLAN standard and the IEEE 802.16a standard is expected to
become popular for BWA applications. Both standards are based
on multicarrier solutions (OFDM) and our research focus will
be on physical layer solutions for improving the performance
of both these systems. The solutions can enable improved spectral
efficiencies, error performance, etc. leading to higher popularity
of wireless applications.
The
following deliverables are expected from the project:
New
PHY. layer solutions to improve performance in the 802.11a
and 802.16a systems. Analytical investigations of new solutions
and comparison with existing solutions. Simulation modules
with documentation. Scaled-down hardware demonstrator. Research
publications, courses, theses, seminars, tutorials, and other
academic outputs.
