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.
