5. Summer Intern (National Institute of Technology Karnataka, Surathkal),              Jun 2014 – Jul 2014

• • Carried out case studies of GSM, CDMA, Zigbee based network. Found that CDMA is better in terms of channel quality, immunity towards jamming and performance during handover. 

  • But overall both GSM and CDMA performs well and GSM was widely used for its simple architecture and cost effectiveness. Also, carried out a study on Zigbee based IoT network. 

  • Verified the effectiveness of three basic topologies star, mesh and tree structure and found that a dynamic controller effectively reduces end to end latency which in-turn increases throughput.
