Project Objective:
I To study one aspect of digital communications in detail
I To gain greater understanding of the underlying theory and practical application
Submission Date:
th
Monday, April 13 , 2009.
Assignment Descriptor:
I Each project is to be group effort.
I Your group (4 members per group) must work together on the simulation
programming and report writing must be done according to the work delegation
assigned in each group.
I You are allowed to discuss with other groups but you are not allowed to COPY the
group’s work.
I If a group disobeys this instruction ZERO marks will be given to the group.
Assignment format:
I All simulation projects intend to explain and illustrate the principles and ideas behind
this technique.
I The implementation will be as software.
I Your simulation work needs to be compared to the conventional communication
system where the enhancement of the can be clearly observed and illustrated.
I Monte Carlo simulations must be performed to evaluate bit error probabilities.
I Using proper documentation methods. Your programming needs to be heavily
commented.
I Describe your group’s schedule, number of discussion sessions, hours spent at the
computer and your project organisational approach to solve this problem.
I A project report (typed) is required for all projects. Provide a formal documentation
using IEEE journal report writing format
I The report should also include a CD with a MATLAB simulation that demonstrates
your results.
I The report will be part of your student portfolio for this course.

5. Lempel-Ziv data compression encoder/decoder
Design and implementation of Lempel-Ziv data compression encoder/decoder in an
AWGN channel.
9. Equalizer
Design an equalization technique to reduce the errors due to ISI in a wireless
communication link. Show the effect of the channel and noise on the performance of
the technique on the communication link.
