    12 Thank you for your interest in the WARP Workshops at Rice University. This page will provide 
    13 you with information about the location of the workshop, maps to the campus, lodging information and workshop content.
     3The fourth WARP workshop was held at Rice University November 1-2, 2007. We had 16 attendees from both universities and companies, all learning how to use WARP in their own research.

    25 == Course Outline ==
    26 
    27 '''DAY 1''' - 9am-5pm
    28 
    29  * '''Overview''': WARP Hardware and Design Environment  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.  ([http://warp.rice.edu/trac/attachment/wiki/Workshops/Rice_2007November/Files/WARP_Workshop_Hardware.pdf?format=raw PDF of Slides]) ([http://warp.rice.edu/trac/attachment/wiki/Workshops/Rice_2007November/Files/WAPRWorkshop_Lab_EDK_sysgen2opb_Intro.pdf PDF of Lab 1])
    30 
    31  * '''WARPLab''':  A new design tool to interface matlab with WARP to enable off-line processing of received signals   transmitted over real wireless channels. ([http://warp.rice.edu/trac/attachment/wiki/Workshops/Rice_2007November/Files/WARP_WorkshopSlides_2_PHY.pdf?format=raw PDF of Slides])
    32 
    33  * '''PHY Implementation''':  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.
    34 
    35 
    36 '''DAY 2''' - 9am-5pm
    37 
    38  * '''MAC Implementation''': 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.  ([attachment:wiki:Workshops/Rice_2007November/Files:WARP_3_Network.pdf PDF slides]).
    39 
    40 '''Helpful Material''': [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control Medium Access Overview] and knowledge of C programming.
    41 
    42 Attendees will utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and Xilinx Platform Studio throughout this two-
    43 day workshop. Familiarity with Xilinx development tools, specifically Xilinx Platform 
    44 Studio, is helpful but not required. Familiarity with MATLAB is required. Development 
    45 stations, including all required computer hardware and software, will be provided.
