Project

 Students are required to select a suitable research topic related to wire or wireless communication systems of current interest. Two students can work together in one topic.

  • Submit a well documented project including summary, literature review, system design and operation, conclusion and references
  • Each student will make a presentation subject to peer evaluation.
  • Possible topics may include:

multiple-access, 3G, capacity enhancement, ad-hoc networks, wireless LANs, interference rejection, network security, broadband communications, smart antennas, MIMO, Satellites, etc

Students are not allowed to present projects based on their graduation projects (EE499)
