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.
