These weekly meetings are meant to be open to whomever has interest. Most take place in 476 Cory and generally appear on the synchro schedule. The intercom group is also the main organizing point for major intercom project demos. Intercom Protocols Developing software and hardware for support of Intercom system control and data channels. Control includes system initialization, call setup, call teardown, bandwidth allocation, and access control.
Data channels carry voice communication.
More details about this project can be found here . The RF group focuses on the design and implementation of highly integrated receivers which can provide very high data rates to multiple users within an indoor wireless environment. The group consists of both system engineers and hardware engineers who work together to design efficient communications systems which are more amenable to low power, highly integrated, CMOS implementations. The current design employs adaptive multiuser detection in order to mitigate the effects of the wireless transmission environment. In addition, the system has been designed in order to relax the performance requirements of the analog RF frontend.
