Grading z z z z
Policy: Grades are based on the following weights. Homework/Assignments: 10% Midterm Exam: 20% Final Exam: 70% Student's participation and activeness in class may affect the final grade.
For the Final term exam, each student (in possible groups of one or two) will have to make a project. Project’s source code with a PowerPoint presentation has to be handed over to the instructor. A final presentation of 30 minutes of the project has to be made in the class as the final term examination. When you reach your decision of your project topic, please inform the instructor about it with your project title, students names, email IDs and student IDs. Note that the request is served in a ``first-come-first-served'' order and no two groups can do same the project. Your choice has to be made and intimated to the instructor on the Fifth week of the class. Project presentations may start after the completion of 11 classes; for special timings contact the instructor. The Midterm exam: the students (single or in group of two) will need to give a presentation and a one or two page write up describing the project that they are going to undertake. Each presentation should be of 5~20 min. The presentation would have to be made in the 7th and 8th class. For special timings please contact the instructor. The following list suggests project topics/areas, but is by no means exhaustive. You are free to choose a project topic of your own as long as it is related to the course material. 1. Call Admission and Control Schemes for QoS in wireless networks 2. Scheduling Algorithms for wireless networks 3. Power Control and Admission Control protocols for wireless networks 4. Location Tracking problems for wireless networks 5. Routing for Ad-Hoc/sensor Wireless Networks 6. Optimal Resource Management in wireless networks 7. Dynamic Resource Allocation in Wireless Networks 8. Dynamic Channel Assignment in Wireless Cellular Networks 9. Traffic Models for Multimedia Traffic for wireless networks 10. Energy Efficient Protocols for Wireless Networks 11. Resource Allocation for Soft Handoff in 4G networks 12. Scheduling Algorithms for Soft Handoff in 4G networks 13. Energy-Efficient algorithms for sensor networks 14. Performance Analysis of Macrocell/Microcell Hierarchical Cellular Systems 15. Distributed Scheduling Algorithms 16. Handling Mobility in Wireless Networks 17. Radio Resource Management in Wireless Networks
18. OFDM-CDMA Systems for next generation wireless systems 19. Network selection for 4G wireless networks 20. WiBro/WiMAX cross layer scheduling algorithms 21. Location update and paging issues in 4G wireless networks 22. Handoff issues in Femtocells/microcell environments 23. Energy efficient multi channel scheduling algorithms for wireless networks 24.
