Project Manager: - For a squad of 6 people - Managing resources and features for releases RF Measurements for 5G NR standard - Waveform creation specific to 5G NR - Software development for RF measurements like Modulation Accuracy, including spectral measurements - Physical layer designs and algorithms for waveform creation and analysis - 3GPP standards and technical specifications - Developer and automated testing AI/ML: - AI/ML in RF Testing - Working with several python libraries

Activities focused on RF Measurements for the 5G NR standard - Waveform creation specific to 5G NR - Software development for RF measurements like Modulation Accuracy, including spectral measurements like Adjacent Channel Power - Working on physical layer (PHY) designs and algorithms for waveform creation and analysis - Working with 3GPP standards and technical specifications - Developer and automated testing

The project is to develop an energy-efficient routing algorithm for heterogenous wireless networks under statistical delay constraint. This involves designing a routing algorithm which works for required statistical delay bound and also optimizes the power consumption.

Working on a project to develop prototypes for adaptive communication system for industrial environment. My work was to implement PHY-layer design on USRP for OFDM and TDMA system. The tasks also involved network programming, creating a small scale TCP server-client code in C++. GNURadio was used to code USRP, using C++ and Python.

Working with software defined radios from Mango Communications, called WARP boards. Project was to study and analyse full duplex communication between two WARP boards, and to analyse the code in MATLAB.
