| | 51 | <BR><p>The WARP Workshop at Nile University introduces attendees to the Rice |
| | 52 | WARP development platform, including the hardware and software tools used |
| | 53 | to develop and implement designs in WARP. Attendees will learn the |
| | 54 | complete WARP design flow, from specification of initial design parameters |
| | 55 | through implementation of designs on WARP hardware.</p><br> |

| | 60 | |
| | 61 | <li><b>Overview : WARP Hardware and Design Environment</b> |
| | 62 | <br><p>Attendees will learn about the hardware-level capabilities of WARP and the system-level design flow. A brief presentation will be followed by a lab exercise |
| | 63 | where attendees will use the design tools to implement a simple hardware co-processor on the FPGA. |
| | 64 | </p> |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | <li><b>Implementation of Physical Layer Protocols</b> |
| | 67 | <br><p>Classical physical layer algorithms such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) will be presented in the context of physical layer design for WARP. |
| | 68 | Following the presentation, attendees will use the design tools learned in the previous exercise to generate base-band waveforms on the FPGA and upconvert them to |
| | 69 | RF using the WARP radio boards.</p> |
| | 70 | |
| | 71 | |
| | 72 | <li><b>Implementation of Network Protocols</b> |
| | 73 | <br><p>Networking protocols will be discussed in the context of design realization and at-scale experimentation on WARP. Specifically, the medium access control (MAC) layer will be the focus. Using WARP's medium access framework, attendees will implement a simplified ALOHA protocol and demonstrate its capabilities with real-world traffic from a PC. |
| | 74 | <p><b>Helpful Material:</b> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium_access_control">Medium Access Overview</a> and knowledge of C programming. |
| | 75 | </li> |
| | 76 | |
| | 77 | |
| | 78 | <br><br><p>Attendees will utilize MATLAB, Simulink, and Xilinx Platform Studio throughout |
| | 79 | this two-day workshop. Familiarity with Xilinx development tools, specifically |
| | 80 | Xilinx Platform Studio, is helpful but not required. Familiarity with MATLAB |
| | 81 | is required. Development stations, including all required computer hardware |
| | 82 | and software, will be provided.</p> |
