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 twelfth 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 past week we had another meeting with the PhD student, Nilay, working with Professor Tureli. This time he explained exactly what we would be doing. He also told us that he would be ordering the comblocks that we are going to use for receiving signals.

· We are still waiting for the keys to the lab room. Nilay also said that he would look into that for us. It's great to work with a grad student. Our team really encourages it because they can be a great help.

· This week we completed our final design report. It explains in detail what our goal is for the end of the spring semester and how we plan to achieve it.

· Our final presentation is also practically complete. We just need to add a few more slides and practice.

· This week we also decided to change the name of our project from "Aloha: Simulation and Critique of a Random Access Protocol" to "Distributed RF Measurement in GSM and CDMA". The current name is more appropriate since we changed the scope of our project.
