Tutorial Paper

  1. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access : Is it the Multiple Access System of the Future?
    Srikanth S., Kumaran V. , Manikandan C., Murugesapandian.

    There is significant interest worldwide in the development of technologies for broadband cellular wireless (BCW) systems. One of the key technologies which is becoming the de-facto technology for use in BCW systems is the orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) scheme. In this tutorial article, we discuss the reasons for the popularity of OFDMA and outline some of the important concepts which are used in OFDMA as applied to BCW systems. We shall use the IEEE 802.16 based WiMAX standards for highlighting some of the significant ideas in the practical use of OFDMA systems.

Technical Reports

  1. A report on the “Design and Implementation of an Open Source Software/Tools based Wi-Fi security test bed”

    Securing the Wi-Fi wireless communication networks is very important, as it is highly susceptible to attacks and is challenging. To enable security in WiFi, one has to appropriately configure the various elements of the network with suitable software / tools. We have set up an open source software / tools based Wi-Fi security test bed. The various security mechanisms based on IEEE 802.1x and EAP methods such as EAP­TTLS, PEAP, TLS, MD5 and WPA PSK were installed and configured on RADIUS server, wireless client and Access Point (AP). Atheros AP and client cards were used in our setup. The open source software used includes FreeRADIUS, WPA-Supplicant, MADWIFI and Wireshark. The results of our experiments, captured on the wired and wireless side, are presented.
