Digital Wireless Communication Systems & Networking Laboratory

Introduction

The Digital Wireless Communication Systems & Networking Laboratory is a research laboratory within the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Western Ontario located at Elborn College, within the UWO campus.

The research goals of the lab focus on several different areas of study in the field of Communications Engineering. They include work in simulation and analysis of protocols for both wired and wireless, QoS Management, Antenna Design, etc.

Laboratory Facilities

The lab is equipped with workstations of various types, ranging from single processor pentiums to dual processor Sun workstations. The Sun workstations are primarily used as a platform for running a communications modelling and simulation package from MIL3 called OPNET Modeler which we use for experimental designs. Check out our Academic OPNET Research Projects Page for a sampling of the kind of work that is done in our lab.
