**WINLAB Summer Internship 2021**

**Group Members:** Zhile Li, Samuel Sayles, Aditya Shrivastava

== Project Objective ==

The goal for this project is to make the spectrum usage for wireless communication be more effectively.

Several objectives:

* Using nodes in Orbit lab to transmit, receive and observe the signal and transmission process

* Collect data from the transmission process

* Use of AI/ML to optimize the efficiency of spectrum

Due to current operating status at Rutgers, in-person lab work with the physical hardware will have to wait until later in the summer. 

== Week 1 Activities ==

* Study the basic idea of spectrum sensing
* Set up Orbit and get familiar to the use of lab

== Week 2 Activities ==

* Researched previous works on our topic
* Got familiar with previous experiments that have been similar to what we will be doing.

== Week 3 Activities ==

* Repeat the transmission experiment in the paper
* In sandbox, use different nodes as transmitter, receiver and observer to observe the transmission process

== Week 5 Activities ==

* In USRP, try to capture the waveform and plot them in time-domain

== Week 6 Activities ==

* Looked into ML approach
* We looked into some datasets online but figured creating them would be better
* Met with one of our advisors and walked through collection scripts

== Week 7 Activities ==

* Focus on Data collection for future ML training
* Using orbit lab/ grid to transmit, receive and observe in different conditions

== Week 8 Activities ==

* Continued working on data scripts
* Troubles with file sharing and bug fixing
