Welcome toEQ2440 Project in Wireless
CommunicationandEQ2430 Project Course in
Signal Processing and Digital Communications

• Kick-off Meeting
• February 18, 2009

Per Zetterberg School of Electrical Engineering
2
Program

• Introduction to the course.
• Presentation of the projects.
• Before you go.

3
Course Facts

• Credits 12.
• Grade ECTS
• 4-7 people per project.
• One Project assistant per group.
• Course responsible Per Zetterberg.
• Prototype responsible You!
• Goals and time-table are specified, how to
  achieve this is up to the team.

4
Resources

• 4-7 Group members.
• 3 PCs.
• A backup file area.
• One or two DSK6713 DSP boards.
• DSP support page (see homepage) and
  s3dsp_at_s3.kth.se
• PC support. support_at_s3.kth.se
• Other laboratory equipment Per Zetterberg.
• Project assistant.
• Library, reports from previous years etc.

5
Areas (environments) all groups will work with

• Algorithms (Matlab).
• DSP programming (CCS)
• PC-programming (matlab!)
• Project management.
• Reports (Word or LaTeX)
• Posters (PowerPoint or Adobe Illustrator)
• Web-pages (FrontPage)
• Oral presentation (PowerPoint)
• Setting up experiments, connecting cables.
• Integrating.
• Debugging, debugging, debugging.

6
Requirements

• Prototype.
• Project report.
• Presentation and demo.
• Poster.
• Zip-archive.
• Project plan.
• Progress reports.
• Matlab prototype
• DSP assignment
• Updated www-site.
• Signed-off checklist (return equipment and
  literature).

7
Group work

• One group member is group leader.
• Several tasks has to solved at the same time.
• Group members will have to specialize in
  different areas.
• Project plan.
• Weekly meetings and reports.
• DSP assignment and matlab prototype.
• End results are report, poster,
  oral-presentation, web-page and WORKING REAL-TIME
  PROTOTYPE.
• Examination is individual so every member has to
  contribute proportionally.

8
Excellence in Signal Processing Award (ESPA) and
EQ2430/EQ2440 Award

• A personal copy of CCStudio, an ESPA certificate
  and 2000SEK in cache.
• Will be given to two students who show excellent
  skills in signal processing, implementation as
  well as theory.

9
Introduced 2008 Grades

• If the prototype is successful, the final-report
  is well written and contains adequate analysis
  and all the other deliverables are in good shape
  then all members who have made significant
  contributions will receive the highest grade. If
  this is not the case, the achievements of the
  individual group members will be scrutinized.
  This can be done by examining the
  progress-reports and other documents produced and
  from observations done during the course of the
  project

Project Assistants

• Samer Medawar
• Ali Zaidi
• Ricardo Blasco Serrano

12
What would be your advice to a student who
chooses this course next year ?

• Dont choose another course at the same period.
  Start really early with everything.
• Start working from the beginning
• Work hard in the beginning and try to ease up in
  the end
• Work hard in the beginning of the project
• Start working from the first day, and dont take
  more than a week off, during the Easter
• Choose it, but take it alone, with nothing else.
• Work work work.
• Take the course if you like to work hard.
• Start early. Implement on DSP asap.
• Dont read other courses in parallel
• Take it!

13
Projects

• Packet Radio.
• MIMO system with Successive Interference
  Cancellation (SIC)
• Wireless Control
• Voice Transmission
• Real-Time Pitch Correction

14
Project 1 Packet-Radio

• Four stations with DSP-board and radio
  transceiver (walkie-talkie).
• Send data between all the stations.
• Implement random access protocol to chare the
  wireless channel.
• Measure the performance.

15
Project 2 MIMO with SIC
State-of-the-art technology in wireless
communications.

• Multiple Input-Multiple Output (2x2) system
  (Single User).
• Receiver based on successive interference
  cancellation (SIC).
• Emulated wireless channel.

16
Project 3 Wireless Control
17
Project 4 Voice Transmission

• Two digital modulationcoding schemes shall be
  implemented.
• A vocoder shall be implemented.
• The performance shall be good using 9.6kHz
  symbol-rate and reasonable SNR.

18
Project 5 Real-Time Pitch Correction

• Problem Not everyone can sing perfectly in tune.
• Solution Design and implement an algorithm that
  detects false notes and corrects these in real
  time.
• The problem includes both pitch tracking and
  pitch scaling.

19
Project Application Form

• Deadline February 25, 15.00.
• Name, project choice, skills.
• Group formation by March 8.
• Project manager assigned (group can request
  change).
