| | 9 | T1: Cognitive Wireless Networking with WARP |
| | 10 | Presenters: Petri Mahonen (RWTH Aachen, Germany) |
| | 11 | Ashutosh Sabharwal (Rice University, USA) |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | This hands-on tutorial will introduce the participants to developing cognitive radio prototypes, especially for higher layer concepts. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | The first part of the tutorial will explain the WARP platform basics, including introduction to the hardware and design flows. This will include the current Rice MIMO-OFDM reference design implementation on WARP. Building on the WARP PHY, we will introduce RWTH flexible cognitive radio MAC layer design. We will discuss also the key lessons learnt from clean-slate implementations on the WARP hardware, and methods to leverage existing open-source code base. |
| | 16 | |
| | 17 | In the second part of the tutorial, participants will have a full access to dozen WARP boards and necessary infrastructure. We would use the rest of the day for hands-on tutorial, where the participants will engage to interactive tutorial to learn in intensive course manner the basic parts of the platform and tool-chain. Furthermore, they will be able to work with several research demonstrations built by Rice and RWTH researchers. This part will also serve to encourage collaborative discussions between the workshop participants. |
