     6ELEC 433 teaches students the basics of physical layer development. This includes topics such as filering, modulation, pulse shaping, carrier frequency offset and timing recovery. WARP v3 is used to give hands-on experience with those topics and allow students to see why the issues are so important in the context of actual over-the-air communication with real channel impairments.

    7 Details about the new technology, dubbed Argos, were presented today at the Association for Computing Machinery’s MobiCom 2012 wireless research conference in Istanbul. Argos is under development by researchers from Rice, Bell Labs and Yale University. A prototype built at Rice this year uses 64 antennas to allow a single wireless base station to communicate directly to 15 users simultaneously with narrowly focused directional beams.
     8Lecture materials for the course are freely available on the [http://cmclab.rice.edu/433/ course website] and videos of the lectures will be made public in the coming months.
