PROJECTS:
COURSE: MSc Wireless Communication Technologies.
TITLE: Investigation of Improvement in LTE network performance during Handover mechanism.
DESCRIPTION:
This project is mainly proposed to analysis the performance of the LTE network in FDD during the
handover mechanism takes place in the high traffic for the mobile users while they are using any
multimedia applications. During this project the OPNET modeller simulation tool is used for the
simulation purposes. The LTE network scenario is created with X2 interface and a video conference
application is performed between the mobile users in order to investigate how the interface will
provide a handover to user and how X2 interface will provide quality to the application. Here each
time the traffic in the cell will be increased. During the simulation, the X2 handover process will be
performed in three different bandwidth such as 5MHz, 10MHz and 15MHz. After the simulation, the
handover delay that occurred in each network will be compared in order to analysis how the network
performance is improved just by increasing the bandwidth of the network.
COURSE: B.E Electronics and Communication Engineering.
TITLE: Prevention of Mobile Abuse in confidential places.
DESCRIPTION:
This project is mainly proposed to prevent the misuse of mobile application in confidential places.
Here we created a mobile kit with a microcontroller as a hardware part and java program in software
part. We connect the hardware and software part through GSM. The major theme of the project is to
block the multimedia applications in the mobile which are mostly used by people to spread the
information. This project is to jam the mobile use in the place of confidential meetings like in
conference hall, restricted areas( borders), etc by sending a code as a message to the mobiles that are
entering in to the region where the mobile use is to be prohibited. Once the code was received by the
mobile, the mobile is completely shutdown till the code was released in the system. Java
programming was used to develope the code to block the mobile and the GSM technology was used to
transfer the message to the mobiles.
TRAINING PROJECT:
RRC PROJECT:
To analyze and verify the real time flow of RRC messages between UE and eNodeB using TEMS
tool.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
 Selected as one of the best project titled as “Switching DevicesUsing Telephone Lines” got
recognition in Ziksana’10, a mini project exhibition held at Sri Sairam Engineering College,
Chennai on 25.02.2010.
