• Courses: None

May 15

• Installed OPNET and completed Basic and Advanced tutorials under Modeler Tutorials.
• Explored LTE Model Library (could not run on OPNET as we don't have LTE license and Saleh has contacted them about this)
• Looking into Mobility Management for Femtocells.

Spring 2012 (RA)

May 1

• Completed the survey and reported to Abdul Hasib.
• Working with user-association and OPNET with Abdul Hasib.

April 17

• Working with Abdul Hasib on LTE-Advanced HetNet and explored some potential research fields.
• Cost effective deployment of relay/femto cells.
• User association to macro/micro cell to improve performance.
• Carrier component allocation to improve fairness, reduce interference.
• Working on to create literature review and going to explore Facility Location Optimization (MITACS) as well.

March 27

• Working with Abdul Hasib on LTE-Advanced Resource Allocation and Interference Management.

February 17

• Concluded applicability of MapReduce to BioInformatics dataset with some comments.
• Read the report of Ahmed Hamza and discussed with him to get acquainted with the task of 3D video processing primitives on cloud platforms.
• Explored open source solutions to figure out some which can be helpful for 3D video processing primitives.
• Discussed with Ahmed about the strategy in search of an appropriate solution.
• Here is the report.

January 27

• Ran some experiments on Fei Gao's thesis work to get acquainted with it.
• Exploring different techniques to speed up similarity measurement in BioInformatics data e.g. DNA/RNA sequences report.
• The two 8 level courses consuming too much time and the initial shuffle between TA/RA
• I believe things will improve from next week.
• Planning to explore a bit more on existing approaches with BioInformatics data including kernel based clustering algorithms as those are closely related with Fei Gao's work with comments from Wael Abd-Almageed, Ph.D in mind.

January 4

• Read the thesis paper of Fei Gao and generated the report.
• Planning to run some experiments on Fei Gao's work in the cluster of our Lab.
