Project 4 - Choose Your Own Adventure

Proposal Due Wednesday, 4/28 - 3:30pm

Final Due Wednesday, 5/12 - 3:30pm

For this project, you will propose and implement a project of your choosing. The lecture period on April 28 will be devoted to discussion of your proposal. By April 28, you will need to submit a 1-2 paragraph description of your project. I will respond promptly with any comments about your proposal.

For this project, you may choose to work in teams of 2. I will expect teams to complete roughly 2 times more work than individuals, and each team member will receive a grade based on my assessment of the individual contributions.

Your final grade will be based upon your proposal, the functionality of your final submission, the design of your final submission, the degree of difficulty of your proposed project, and a demonstration of your work. Upon reading your proposal I will give you feedback on the level of difficulty of the project. You must make an appointment with me before the due date to demonstrate your project.

Following are several ideas for Project 4. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list, and is meant to inspire your creativity.

MAC Protocol

Implement and evaluate a MAC protocol you design, or one from the literature.

Time Synchronization
