Weekly status:

Include discussion of what you accomplished this week, who you contacted, what decisions were made, what obstacles were identified, how they are being addressed.

This week completed the tenth full week we have been working on our Senior Design Project. This week:

· We had our usual group discussion, where we talked about our progress, the website, lab time, and future steps to be taken in our project

· This week we put up our website. Our entire weekly reports are available, as well as our project proposal. We still have to add a lot of things, including all of our links and a few pictures. We have a lot of interesting and easy to understand research material about random access protocols and we would like to share it all.

· This upcoming week we plan to contact the graduate student that Tureli suggested and see when he is available to work with us.

· We also discussed lab time. This week and all of the upcoming weeks, we plan on going to the lab to test out the matlab code and then progress from there. That is one of the major things to do on the list.

· This week we also discussed the final report format. This upcoming week we will have a meeting and begin putting everything together.

· As well as working on the report, we plan on beginning work on the presentation. We definitely have our work cut out for the rest of the semester.
