PROJECTS

Below are some of my projects during my study in University of Florida:

Project 5: Video Distortion Analysis Tool (VDAT)

In this project, We develop a research tool to statistically analyze the video distortion in various wireless channels. It is very convenient for wireless video researchers to get statistics of random video input, encoder parameters, channel parameters, and decoder parameters.

Project 4: Cross-layer Wireless Video Testbed

This is a open source cross-layer wireless video development platform and testbed where H.264 video is transmitted over software radio in real time. It is used for researchers to verify their own algorithms at the most flexibility.

Project 3: Real-world Transmission with GNU Radio and USRP

In this project, we do several experiments to test the link between two USRP by data transmission, voice transmission, and TCP/IP transmission. Two sets of USRP and RFX900 are needed.

Project 2: Performance analysis of channel estimation and adaptive equalization in slow fading channel

This is a wireless communication simulator including Gray coding, modulation, different channel models (AWGN, flat fading and frequency selective fading channels), channel estimation, adaptive equalization, and demodulation.

Project 1: Transmitting a JPEG file in GNU Radio environment without USRPs

This project is target for us to test GNU Radio environment without hardware support such as the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP). We use TCP/IP socket to connect between two PCs with Linux OS.
