2017-2018 Senior Project - Dragon Radio

Project Title Dragon Radio attempts to overcome scarcity in the radio frequency spectrum by using collaborative machine learning. Today, spectrum is managed by dividing it into rigid, exclusively licensed bands. This human-driven process is not adaptive to the dynamics of supply and demand, and thus cannot exploit the full potential capacity of the spectrum. Dragon Radio is an attempt to reimagine a new, more efficient wireless paradigm in which radio networks autonomously collaborate to dynamically determine how the spectrum should be used moment to moment. Dragon Radio is a three year project, in which this year's senior design team is doing a fraction of.

Radio Data Processing


Dragon Radio must operate in various environments that may be disadvantage for the radio. This is one scenario Dragon Radio was tested in.

Post-processing UI


Web user interface is used to calculate the metrics of the radio during and after testing
