Southern Methodist University (SMU): EE 8391 - Embedded Wireless Protocol Design Lab

The Embedded Wireless Protocol Design Lab is an Electrical Engineering graduate course offered this Spring (2010) at ​Southern Methodist University that focuses on WARP development at the MAC and PHY layers. The course is taught by ​Professor Joe Camp who received his Ph.D. from Rice University in the Spring of 2009. In weekly lab assignments, students implement various types of wireless protocols such as different types of media access layers, rate adaptation and routing algorithms, and MIMO schemes. Each student is part of a four to five person team with a semester-long research agenda that is proposed by the students. The five teams are exploring topics ranging from channel estimation and sub-carrier allocation to next-generation rate selection and multi-band adaptation for vehicular networks.
