<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Project Requirement:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> A
research project is an integral part of this course. A project can be a survey
of a classical topic in multiuser information theory or an application of
multiuser information theory. You will be graded on the clarity of problem
formulation and the technical depth of your oral presentation. The project is
expected to have some novel insights beyond the existing literature: e.g., new
problem formulations, or novel solutions, or new applications, or numerical
evaluation on practical settings. Projects are individual based.</span></p>

<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Project Proposal:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Each
student must submit a one-page project proposal including a list of references
on <b><i>March 2, 2025</i></b>. The proposal is not graded.</span></p>

<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Project Presentation:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Each
student must prepare a 15-minute presentation to take place on <b><i>April 3,
2025</i></b>. Please submit your slides one day before the presentation on <b><i>April
2, 2025 at noon</i></b>.</span></p>

<p><b><span lang=EN-US>Project Report:</span></b><span lang=EN-US> Each student
must submit an IEEE conference style, max 5-page, double-column project report.
The project reports are due on <b><i>April 2, 2025</i></b>. </span></p>
