 1. **Multiple Antenna Communication (MIMO)** - Students used WARP to empirically measure the impact of multiple antennas on a wireless link. Students compared transmit diversity and receive diversity and observed how these concepts affect both throughput and error rates.
 1. **Multi-node Interference** - Using the [wiki:802.11 Mango 802.11 Reference Design], students explored the role of the 802.11 Distributed Coordination Function (DCF) in splitting medium access among competing nodes. Students were able to make changes to the 802.11 design that go beyond the scope of the standard and witness how those changes affect fairness in the network.
-1. ** Cooperative Communications ** - Cooperative communications is a way of enabling MIMO-like improvements in networks where devices are limited to a single antenna. It accomplishes these improvements by letting multiple devices act like virtual antennas for other devices, effectively combining their resources for potentially dramatic improvements in error rates and throughput. Students were able to test this concept and begin to understand user cooperation's important, subtle, and potentially detrimental implications energy efficiency.

 1. ** Full-Duplex Communications ** - Students completed the experimental component of the summer school by exploring concepts in full-duplex. They explored full-duplex's tradeoff between potentially 2x throughput at the cost of higher interference. They found regimes where full-duplex is a net "win" over half-duplex, and they also found regimes where half-duplex is actually superior.
