EEL 6509 -- Wireless Communications
Class Project Guidelines
General Objectives:
The project is
intended to provide the students with an opportunity to take the initiative and
develop independent research capability and creativity. In the project,
students are expected to identify problems of their own interest, tackle the
problems from their own perspective, gain hand-on experience, and hopefully,
have the fun of making their own discoveries. The project will
obviously require a good deal of time and energy, imagination and hard work.
Project Format:
The class project
will be done in a group of at most four students, requiring about 30
hours per person over the entire semester. A project includes the
following phases: choosing a project topic, writing a project proposal, conducting
the project, and writing a final project
report.
A project
usually consists of reading papers on a chosen topic, comparing performances of
different approaches, and perhaps proposing your own algorithms/improvements,
implementing one or two of them. Alternatively, it can be a thorough survey of system
development and commercial deployment.
Instructions for Preparing Your Project proposal
- Your proposal is to describe the problems you want to
explore, list references you have read, and specify your research objectives
and how to achieve these objectives. Before you submit the
proposal, you can discuss with me about the possible
topics, either during my office hours or through email.
- Each group only writes one proposal.
- Proposals are limited to 2 pages.
- Proposals must include the following parts:
- Project title and group members
- Abstract - A paragraph that briefly describes
the research problems and what you plan to achieve.
- Project plan - It should list tasks that you
plan to carry out. For each task, describe how you plan to approach
it, who in your group is primarily responsible for it, and the deadline for
completing it. In addition to the reading/programming work you plan to
do, you should also budget your time for searching the project subject,
initial literature search, preparing the final report and presentation.
- Reference list - List the references that you
have read and are relevant to your project topic. The references could
be papers, documents, and web links.
Please include complete citation of each reference: author, title of the
article, journal or book name, and the URL if appropriate.
- Email your proposal (in Word or PDF format) to the TA
before the deadline.

There are two basic approaches you can use for your
project.
- Develop a new idea or a new twist on an existing idea,
and then do enough evaluation to serve as a proof of concept.
- Do an extensive evaluation of an existing idea that
gives you some insight into the advantages or disadvantages of that idea.
Here are some
suggested project topics.
