This document provides specifications for a semester project on wireless technology. Students will work in teams to research and demonstrate proficiency in one of five wireless topics. Each team must create an informational blog and conduct a 15-20 minute demonstration of their assigned topic. Additionally, each student will independently summarize five recent journal papers related to their topic. The project aims to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios and promote team-based and self-directed learning. Teams must register their topic by June 24th and complete all tasks by August dates to contribute to 20% of the overall course grade.

1. TBB2083 Wireless Technology
Project Specification – Semester May 2011
Introduction
As part of the assessments for TBB2083 – Wireless Technology, students enrolled in this course are
required to complete a working project, which is directly related to materials covered in this course.
The main objectives of this work project include:
1. To enable students to relate the theoretical aspects learned in this course, with its practical
knowledge.
2. To expose students to work in a team-based environment.
3. To promote self-discovery approach in students’ learning.
In this work project, students will be working in a team, and work on a specific area of wireless
technology. There are FIVE (5) possible areas, including:
• Wireless LAN Concept and Communication
• Microwave Communication
• Cellular Communication
• Bluetooth and/or RFID Technology
• Smart Home Initiative
This work project will contribute to 20% of the overall marks for this course.
Tasks
There are TWO (2) main tasks that need to be accomplished by each team:
1. Information Seeking/Discovery
For this task you are required to seek information on the chosen topic. The required information
includes:
• Basic concept/theory
• Available communication protocols and standards
• Common architecture/implementation
• Latest advancements in the area (e.g. recent technology, improvements, etc.)

2. Deliverables:
• You are required to create an info blog for each team that will contain the information
specified above. Use www.blogspot.com and register your blog. The title of the blog must
start with TBB2083 – [Area Name] – [Group No.]. E.g. TBB2083 – Wireless LAN 01. The
assessment will be based upon the contents presented, not the layout/cosmetic of the blog.
• Summaries of FIVE (5) recent journal papers, related to the specific area chosen. These
papers must be related to the latest advancements/technology in the area. Each summary
must NOT be more than 1000 words. Marks will be deducted if the summary exceeds this
limit. These summaries must also be posted on the blog. Each summary must be prepared
by only ONE (1) student. The marks given for this task will be on the individual basis, not as
a team.
2. Hands-On/Demonstration
For this task, you are required to conduct a demo session on the specific topic/area chosen, using
the available training modules in Wireless Communication Lab. A hands-on topic related to the area
chosen will be given to the students in Week 6. Students must be able to conduct this demo in a
team, and explain the functions and protocols related to the topic that has been assigned.
Deliverables:
• Conduct a 15-20 minutes demo on the topic assigned to each team
Coordination
Each student must only be a member of ONE (1) team. You are required to form a team of FIVE (5)
members. The distribution of teams follows according to this table:
Wireless LAN Concept and Communication 2 Groups
Microwave Communication 2 Groups
Cellular Communication 2 Groups
Bluetooth and/or RFID Technology 2 Groups
Smart Home Initiative 2 Groups
Please register your team before Thursday 24th of June 2011, by emailing me the following details:
• List of team members
• Your chosen topic for work project
