| 27 | * Overview : WARP Hardware and Design Environment |
| 28 | Attendees will learn about the hardware-level capabilities of WARP and the system-level design flow. A brief presentation will be followed by a lab exercise where attendees will use the design tools to implement a simple hardware co-processor on the FPGA. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | * Implementation of Physical Layer Protocols |
| 31 | Classical physical layer algorithms such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) will be presented in the context of physical layer design for WARP. Following the presentation, attendees will use the design tools learned in the previous exercise to generate base-band waveforms on the FPGA and upconvert them to RF using the WARP radio boards. |
| 32 | |
| 33 | '''DAY 2''' - 9am-5pm |
| 34 | |
| 35 | * Implementation of Network Protocols |
| 36 | Networking protocols will be discussed in the context of design realization and at-scale experimentation on WARP. Specifically, the medium access control (MAC) layer will be the focus. Using WARP's medium access framework, attendees will implement a simplified ALOHA protocol and demonstrate its capabilities with real-world traffic from a PC. |
