Project Description

Design and implement a system that facilitates realtime data transmission in underwater wireless networks. This includes examining the data transmission over several types of water conditions along with extracting the data transmission characteristics.

Program - Computer Science

Division - Computer, Electrical and Mathematical Sciences and Engineering

Faculty Lab Link - realtime-transmission-in-underwater-wireless-environments

Field of Study - Computer science and/or electrical engineering

Researcher

Basem Shihada

Desired Project Deliverables

The student is expected to closely work on an underwater wireless optical transmission testbed. Using the testbed equipment’s, the student will be running several sets of experiments and collect certain data (e.g., bit error rates, frame rates, channel condition, ..etc). The extracted data will be later used to design an optimal resource allocation framework for facilitating realtime transmission in such environments.
