Summary:

As the usage of ISM bands increases with emerging new applications and technologies, the fundamental question that arises is to identify the breaking point when the applications cease to produce the desired performance. This internship is targeted towards identifying technologies and applications in ISM bands. This will be followed by a comprehensive study of scenarios that can have disruptive effect on one or more applications. A natural sequel of this study is to identify/develop scenarios and algorithms where the applications coexist in the best possible manner.

Job Description:

 - Identify technologies and applications in 868/900 MHz, 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ISM bands

- Perform analytical, experimental and simulation studies for the relevant cases/scenarios focusing 2.4 GHz and 868/900 MHz bands

- Develop and analyze algorithms to facilitate co-existence of disrupting technologies/applications

Qualifications:

- Master’s/PhD level student with experience in wireless communication and networks

- Ability to analyze and develop wireless communication algorithms in PHY and MAC layers.

- Familiarity with existing wireless technologies and good knowledge on their PHY/MAC layers

- Strong computer and simulation skills with proven experience in OPNET/ns-2, Matlab, C/C++
