Data transmission Systems report instructions
Technical paper writing approach
Delivery date: Mon Jan 4 2016
Only printed version is accepted and should be delivered in class
a. You have to do a literature review about some topic related to
cloud computing (from the listed topic below) and identify some
potential problem and mention some of the proposed solutions,
or you need to describe a widely used cloud computing system or
infrastructure.
b. One person per report.
c. The report length will be 6 pages minimum. Please use the
provided template. Please do not change the font type or size.
Also, you should not use more than 3 figures with a reasonable
size.
d. A list of topics related to data transmission is listed in this page.
Please chose one of them for your report.
e. The main output will be the final report. The grading will be based
on the following criterions
- Report layout and structure
- Language
- Technical robustness
- References, you need to use at least 8 technical references
Best grades will go to those who use journals and conference
papers as their reference.
-
Warning: Direct copy and paste from the Internet or from any
other resources is not allowed and I will verify the originality of
your report. (I can do that in many different ways, one of them
is by checking this website:
http://turnitin.com/static/index.html. I can upload your report
and the website can determine if you copy from other
published materials or not). You are expected to write the
report using your own words.
Suggested topics:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Near field communication
Low power Bluetooth
Direct-WiFi
Xbee
For each topic, you need to address the following :
- Technology definition, benefits and applications , the standard name (up to 1
page)
-Define and explain its media access control and its physical layer stricter (type
of modulation used, frequency bands, media access protocol) (up to 1.5 page)
-Mention its characteristics in terms of data rate, energy consumption,
communication range, system design (transmitter and receiver block diagram),
performance evaluation and its robustness against noise, technology limitation
and channellings (up to 2.5 pages)
References: up to 1 page
Useful links
To get technical papers , use the following site
1. http://scholar.google.com
2. http://ieeexplore.net
3. If you could not get a paper from the above links (as you may need a
username and password), then you can try to put the paper title on
this search engine:
http://www.sci-hub.cc
Referencing:
Important note: you need to put the reference number inside your text
whenever you need the reference. For example:
If you have an information like the one below, then you should put the
reference of the information source.
Bluetooth technology uses OFDM technology [1],…..
Where [1] is the reference number that you got this information from, It
should be listed at the end of the paper in the reference section.
Then at the end of your report, you should list all the references. Below
is an example on how to reference papers
Sample referencing:
A reference to a conference paper:
[1] F. Sabrina, and J.-M. Valin, "Priority based dynamic rate control for
VoIP traffic, " in Proceedings of Globecom, 2009.
A reference to a journal paper:
[2] H. Ningning and P. Steenkiste, "Evaluation and characterization of
available bandwidth probing techniques," IEEE Journal on Selected Areas
in Communications, vol.21, no.6, pp.879,894, Aug. 2003.
A reference to a book chapter

to Algorithms”. MIT press, second edition, 2003
