**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 3 Activities ==

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