Open altonbill opened 3 years ago

altonbill commented 3 years ago

Hello guys,

My thesis is a project relating to V2X communication in interference from unregulated transmission sources on adjacent bands. This thesis will be completed with my research advisor Dr. Van Der Merwe in the CS dept.

Project Objective: Quantify the impact of interference on V2X communication.

Current Details: Currently working on proof of concept examples on existing University equipment in the POWDER platform. As well as testing with outdated DSRC devices.

Future Vision: Gain access to new C-V2X devices and complete a first-of-its-kind OTA interference test making use of equipment on the powder platform on campus.

Road Map: This semester->Finish proof of concept and initial tests with DSRC equipment. Summer->Integrate and setup new commercial wireless equipment on the powder platform. Fall->Complete testing on new C-V2X hardware in an OTA environment.

Current Team Members and Their Duties Jacob Bills: working on the thesis

Comment from Group 1 (Benjamin Wadsworth, Dalton Clift, Sam Hirsch):

What is the practical use? This seems like a useful project especially as V2X technology becomes more prevalent and considering the timely FCC regulation changes.

What are the challenges we think of to implement this project? It seems like it will be difficult to simulate high amounts of interference without incurring a large expense of purchasing many transmission units.

What is the marketplace for this project? This project seems mostly academic in nature. Potentially car manufacturers will be interested in the results of the research, but may be difficult to sell results.

Will we buy it? This data seems like it would be useful, but also could be recreated through experimentation and careful network design.

What to improve from an outsider's perspective? Potentially clarify the impacts you're exploring and connect the research to real-world situations.

Durrantula commented 3 years ago

Group 3 (Tristan Stotesbery, Spencer Durrant, Ben Van Hoose) The practical use is that we need to understand impacts of V2X hardware and its relative performance. Some challenges we see are that this is a newer area of technology, therefore support of information is more difficult to find. Marketplace is businesses that would use this type of hardware or rf. No, it doesn't seem to apply to individuals. We would improve the selling point more by simplifying the description of the project. It is written like a research paper which does not tailor well to people unfamiliar with the technology.

VectorU Scott Crowley, Aaron Tea Practical use FAA regulations and security. One challenge would be keeping up with the ever changing regulations and new hardware. This would have a big market place with any business that deals in sensitive information. We would buy if we had information that needed to be protected. We think one thing that could be improved is the explanation on the value of it. People who are incharge of purchasing are often ignorant of why this would be so useful.

Comment from Group 9 (Colton Watson, Seth Jackson, Phelan Hobbs):

What is the practical use? Wireless communication at 5.9 GHz.

What are the challenges we think of to implement this project? Developing the methods for this ruling could be challenging

What is the marketplace for this project? N/A

Will we buy it? N/A

What to improve from an outsider's perspective? Add clearer definitions for things like DSRC, POWDER, V2X, C-V2X, etc.

ColinPollard commented 3 years ago

Colin Pollard, Jacob Bills What is the practical use? This paper aims to examine the effects of frequency spectrum reallocation on transportation communications that were caused by the FCC's recent decision. It will provide insight into how future growth in this spectrum can affect current systems, and what potential problems can arise.

What are the challenges of implementing the project? Creating any academic work puts large pressure on results being of acceptable quality in a short amount of time. Getting published is a challenge all of its own.

What is the marketplace of the project? N/A

Will we buy it? N/A

What to improve from an outsider's perspective? Possibly create some material for naïve audiences like myself to explain the broader context of the work. Show why the FCC decided to reallocate, and what effects this has on the average person.

Comment from Group 6 Emmanuel Lotubai, Brandon Chen, Alex Charters:

What is the practical use? Figuring out if 5.9GHz is viable for V2X communication

What are the challenges we think of to implement this project?

What is the marketplace for this project?

Will we buy it? no. Not useful for personal use.

What to improve from an outsider's perspective? Introduce abbreviation in the abstract, and explain the effect of the FCC's decision.

Comment from Group 5 (John, Luke, McKay, Benjamin): --Practical Use Discovering the potential risks new FCC rulings present and to compare DSRC and V2X hardware --Challenges Acquiring technology from UDOT --Marketplace Departments of transportation --Purchase? This is not for personal use, so no. --Improvements If UDOT cannot provide equipment, will another state department of transportation provide desired equipment?

MrYo531 commented 3 years ago

What is the practical use? V2X communication and related technology What are the challenges we think of to implement this project? All the testing and know how to use the equipment What is the marketplace for this project? Researchers, universities. Any technology industry involved. Will we buy it? Research-based so nothing really to buy. What to improve from an outsider's perspective? This looks really good tbh. Wish this was my thesis.

Addressing Comments

It seems like it will be difficult to simulate high amounts of interference without incurring a large expense of purchasing many transmission units. Making use of High Power transmission SDRs within the POWDER platform allow us to approximate the impact of a large number of low power interferes

Developing consistent interference level tests We've developed radio tools that allow us to dial in and control the average power levels coming from our interference generators

Some challenges we see are that this is a newer area of technology, therefore the support of information is more difficult to find marketplace is businesses that would use this type of hardware or rf This works to our advantage as we would more or less be writing the book on V2X interference at 5.9GHz in the US making it easier to publish

Getting V2X equipment We have already received some DSRC equipment for our earlier tests and UDOT has shown great interest in getting the performance results for that and their C-V2X hardware down the road

Creating any academic work puts large pressure on results being of acceptable quality in a short amount of time. Getting published is a challenge all of its own Getting published is my biggest concern. However, due to how new this area is the body of competing work is quite small. Which my advisor has indicated that this should ease the process of getting published slightly as there are few other papers addressing this issue in an Over-the-Air enviroment

Is the prototype convincing to invest? Yes, the prototype is very convincing. The objectives are well-thought-out.

Sam3077 commented 3 years ago

Group 1 (Sam Hirsch, Dalton Clift, and Benjamin Wadsworth)

Is the prototype related to the project? Yes, this prototype seems to be a good simulation of the real-world applications of the technology with a reliable form of measurement.

Will we invest? This seems like an interesting and important project, but maybe not an investment opportunity. Our only concern is the limited financial opportunity, but the research itself does seem very interesting.

Comment from Group 9 (Colton Watson, Seth Jackson, Phelan Hobbs):

Is the prototype related to the project?

This is definitely related. There has been a lot of work completed.

Is the prototype convincing for you to invest?

It sounds convincing, they know what they're talking about, but laypersons are lost on any of it.

ColinPollard commented 3 years ago

Is the prototype related to the project? Certainly, most of the work has been done already.

Is the prototype convincing for us to invest? N/A

bbleaptrot commented 3 years ago

Comments from Team 5 (Luke, Benjamin, John, Mckay): -Is this prototype related to the project?

Yes! It is a thorough first experiment for the final project.

-Is the prototype convincing us to buy?

Perhaps! It depends on what the results of the experiment are. If it shows that there will be significant interference, we would consider further investing into this research.
