Workshop On Cognitive Radio using USRP 6-10 January, 2015 Organized by DEPT. OF ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING INDIAN SCHOOL OF MINES DHANBAD – 826004, JHARKHAND In association with COORDINATORS Prof. Debjani Mitra, ISM Dhanbad Achyut Mohan Sharma, Territory Manager, NI About the Organizer The course will be organized by the Department of Electronics Engineering of Indian School of Mines (ISM), Dhanbad, a leading university in the service of nation offering a host of programmes since 1926. The Department of Electronics Engineering, started as a supporting department in 1976 has today established itself as a strong faculty department with highly qualified faculty members, in housed with well equipped state of the art laboratories, ample computing resources and several R&D projects. At present the Department is in full pace to develop update facilities in Wireless Communication and Signal Processing in collaboration with related industries. To know more about the department, please visit at http://www.ismdhanbad.ac.in/electronics-engineering. About the Workshop Cognitive Radios (CR) are autonomous units with adaptable radio system parameters, the key technology addressing dynamic and opportunistic access of licensed spectrum by secondary users. It is undoubtedly the next Big Bang in high data rate wireless communication. The practical implementation of CR can be achieved by use of Software Defined Radio (SDR) pushing digital implementation close to the antenna, replacing dedicated hardware with software algorithms. The Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) family of products from NI is a popular lowcost platform for hardware-based CR research and test bed validations. It provides all high speed operation within a FPGA with waveform specific features in CPU for flexibility of programming via LabView interfacing. The aim of this workshop is to provide a unique experience of getting theoretical insights along with in-depth exposure of simulation tools and hands-on-practical design of Cognitive Radio Systems. Besides a broad overview of the current research trends in CR, the basics and toolkits of LabVIEW for deploying of wireless algorithms on real world RF signals, experimenting with live-over the air signals, spectrum measurements and monitoring on USRP will be a major part of the workshop with technical support from NI. Topics to be covered Adaptive Modulation Techniques for Cognitive Radio Adaptive OFDM System Design for Cognitive Radio Spectrum Sensing techniques for Cognitive Radio LabVIEW basics:  Data structures and Programming techniques  Data Flow paradigm and parallel programming.  Hardware Control using LabVIEW Programming USRP using LabVIEW LabVIEW Modulation and Spectral measurement toolkits Implementation of OFDM, MIMO and other Modulation techniques using USRP Cognitive Radio using USRP About Location ISM is well connected by rail and road. The School is located at a distance of about 3 KMs from Dhanbad Railway Station in Jharkhand State. Dhanbad station is on grand chord of Eastern Railways and well connected with Howrah, Delhi, Lucknow, Aligarh, Mumbai, Tata Nagar and Ranchi etc. The nearest airports are Kolkata (250 Km) and Ranchi (180 Km).
