WINLAB Summer Internship 2022
Group Members:
Khyati Dinesh Patel, Mingkun Sun
Several objectives:
* Using nodes in COSMOS/ORBIT testbed to transmit and receive reference signals
* Collect data from the transmission process with the portable SDRs
* Use both traditional and AI/ML analysis for channel characterization (including occupancy)

Planned to meet weekly at 12pm on Tuesday and 2pm on Thursday
* Get familiar with ORBIT
* Research on software defined radio (SDR)
* Researched about different Sandboxes in ORBIT
* Perform more experiments with SDRs
* Studied about different hardwares in ORBIT
* In USRP capture the waveforms and plot it
* In sandbox, used 1 node as transmitter and other as receiver and observed the transmission process

* Used 2 transmitter and 2 receiver to send data across each other and plot the wavefroms
* Conducted specturm sensing using USRP2
* Tried resolving the FPGA and GNU errors
* Looked into different technical papers for ML approach used for spectrum sensing

* Successfully conducted experiment using GNU radio and tried plotting the spectrum using GNU companion
* Conducted specturm sensing using USRP X310 and WISERD
* Successfully collected sample data from the spectrum sensing experiment using WISERD
* Still trying to resolve the errors faced using GNU companion
* Looked into a few ML algorithms and try to finalize one by this weekend

* Successfully gets GNU Radio Companion and x310 running, and conducted experiment on the x310 using the GNU Radio Companion
* Update the Wiki here (https://orbit-lab.org/wiki/Tutorials/k0SDR/Tutorial00b#WorkingwithUSRPX310) to make sure that everyone can do the experiment smoothly without encountering the issues we experienced.

* Successfully collected specturm data for ML algorithm
* Where not able to finalize any ML apporach due the limited amount of time
