Problem description:
Time schedule The envisaged time schedule is:
T0 0 starting month, T0+m denotes the month where the contribution to a certain chapter shalle be finalized
T0+6: define the content of the thesis in three pages
T0+10: provide a list of references (30-50) related to your topic
T0+11: provide table-of-content of a review paper on the topic
T0+14: complete review paper on the topic
T0+16: provide a list of topics for 4 follow-up papers
T0+18: Provide implementation plan for your implementation
T0+24: Evaluate your solution based on a set of parameters, keep in mind there is no such thing as a free lunch
T0+30: Provide the TOC/draft of your thesis
T0+36: Deliver the thesis
Pre-Knowledge This thesis includes a reasonable amount of programming. The envisaged thesis is based on radio communications, thus expects the user to have followed at least two radio-related courses

Red line

Your thesis should have a "red line", which is visible throughout the whole thesis. This means you should mention in the beginning of each chapter how the chapter contributes to the "goals of the thesis".

Use of scientific methods

A thesis follows a standard method:

  • describe the problem (problemstilling)
  • extract the challenges. These challenges should be measurable, e.g. method is too slow to be useful to voice handover.
  • Analyse technology with respect to challenges. Don't write & repeat "everything" from a certain technology, concentrate on those parts (e.g. protocols) which are of importance for your problem

References

  • Wikipedia is good to use to get an overview on what is happening. But there is not scientific verification of Wikipedia, thus you should use wikipedia only in the introduction of a chapter (if you use text from wikipedia). Use scientific literature for your thesis.
  • Scientific library is "at your hand", you can get there directly from UiO: [[How to get access to IEEE, Springer and other scientific literature -> Unik/UiOLibrary]]
  • I suggest that references to web pages, e.g. OASIS, W3C standards, are given in a footnote. Only if you find white papers or other .pdf documents on a web page then you refer to them in the reference section.

Evaluation of own work

Perform an evaluation of your own work. Revisit the challenges and discuss in how you fulfilled them. Provide alternative solution and discuss what should be done (or what could have been done).
