Distributed Spectrum Monitoring and Channel Sounding

WINLAB Summer Internship 2022

Group Members: Khyati Dinesh Patel, Mingkun Sun, Suhani Sengupta

Project Objective

The goal for this project is to create an.

Several objectives:

• Using nodes in COSMOS/ORBIT testbed to transmit refence signals
• Collect data from the transmission process with the portable SDRs
• Use both traditional and AI/ML analysis for channel characterization (including occupancy)

Reading material:

Planned to meet weekly at 12pm on Tuesday and 2pm on Thursday

Week 1 Activities

Goals for first week:

• Get familiar with ORBIT.
• Research on software defined radio (SDR).

Week 2 Activities

• Ran basic experiments on ORBIT testbed
• Studied more about SDRs and Channel Monitoring
• Learnt basics of Ubuntu

Week 3 Activities

• Researched about different Sandboxes in ORBIT
• Perform more experiments with SDRs
• Studied about different hardwares in ORBIT

Week 4 Activities

• In USRP capture the waveforms and plot it
• In sandbox, used 1 node as transmitter and other as receiver and observed the transmission process
