Sammendrag
This thesis aims to create a series of exercises to help students understand wirelesscommunication MAC schemes better. We did this by finding the right tool to help uscreate good exercises. The right tools for the exercises were found by reading throughsurvey papers and documentation of various tools and comparing them to each otherthrough what we found from the survey papers. In addition, we created exercisesto showcase different MAC schemes, each constructed differently to provide a uniquelearning experience. The exercises are about CSMA/CD, CSMA/CA, CDMA/FHSS,CDMA/DSSS, and OFDM. The CSMA/CD and CDMA/CA exercises with the tool NS-3are great exercises to see the two MAC schemes through a simulation and how they work.CDMA/FHSS and CDMA/DSSS were two different exercises designed to be practical,that the student needed to solve the exercises by coding in MATLAB. A more practicalexercise that gives the student a deeper understanding of the core functionalities of theMAC schemes. The last exercise we designed was a walk-through about the differentphases of OFDM. The main goal was to give the student an understanding of how theOFDM MAC scheme works by giving them a visual representation with plots of eachphase during data transmission.
