+WARP Workshop at Rice University
+March 22-23, 2007 
+                
+
+Thank you for your interest in the WARP Workshops at Rice University. This page will provide you with information about the location of the workshop, maps to the campus, lodging information and workshop content.
+
+Registration for this workshop is now closed - please watch the WARP site for future workshop announcements!
+
+
+ 
+Workshop Description
+
+
+The Rice University WARP Workshop introduces attendees to the Rice WARP development platform, including the hardware and software tools used to develop and implement designs in WARP. Attendees will learn the complete WARP design flow, from specification of initial design parameters through implementation of designs on WARP hardware.
+
+
+Workshop Materials
+Course Outline
+
+DAY 1 - 9am-5pm
+
+
+
+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. 
+
+Implementation of Physical Layer Protocols 
+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. 
+
+DAY 2 - 9am-5pm
+
+Implementation of Network Protocols 
+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. 
+Helpful Material: Medium Access Overview and knowledge of C programming. 
+
+
+
+Attendees will utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and Xilinx Platform Studio throughout this two-day workshop. Familiarity with Xilinx development tools, specifically Xilinx Platform Studio, is helpful but not required. Familiarity with MATLAB is required. Development stations, including all required computer hardware and software, will be provided.

+
+Workshop Location
+
+The workshops will be held in the Rice University DSP Laboratory. The DSP Lab is located in the Abercrombie Building, Room A123. 
+Airports
+
+There are two major airports in the greater Houston area, George Bush International (airport code IAH) and William P. Hobby Airport (airport code HOU). IAH is approximately 25.1 miles north of campus, and HOU is approximately 11.6 miles south of campus. 
+
+

+Campus Maps & Parking Info
+
+If you will be coming to campus on your own by car, maps to and of the Rice campus and parking information can be found on the main Rice web site.
+
+The closest visitor parking to Abercrombie is the Founder's Court Lot, which is accessed via entrance #1 or entrance #2 off of Main Street
+
+Visitors will need a credit card to access the parking lots, but parking vouchers will be provided to participants on each day of the workshop.
+
+Abercrombie is also close to Houston's new light rail system. The most convenient stop is the Hermann Park/Rice U station.
