 \section{Introduction}
 
 For the semester thesis at the Eastern Switzerland University of Applied Sciences (OST) it has been requested to create a demonstrative setup to show the fading effect, which is present in real world wireless communication systems.

 \end{enumerate}
 
 \subsection{SDR Device}
-Finding the right software tool, like GNURadio or Matlab, for the Project and learn how the program works. The same with the Hardware, is the \textit{USRP B210} the best option or is there an other SDR, which fits better too our requirements. 
+
+At the time of writing, we are given an \emph{USRP B210} SDR as hardware device for the project.
+An evaluation based on various criteria, including software compatibility and performance, will be made to decide which combination of SDR devices and software toolboxes will used.
 
 \subsection{Prototype}
-Create the first Prototype line TX-RX without any effects. Including some simulation on that setup first and then tests and measurements on the Hardware. 
-After a successful set up, some possible variable parameters will be included. 
 
-\subsection{Theory of fading channels}
-When the Prototype works the integration of the fading channel models starts, including simulations and tests on the Hardware. 
-At the end comes the same with a movable Reviser. Walking will be used to demonstrate that on a scenario. If there will be some time left also with the help of a car.
+The first concrete step will be the realization of a prototype both simulated and with the hardware.
+A TX -- RX line with an ideal channel\footnote{In hardware that means a short coaxial cable between the two SDR devices.} will be used to test the modulation and demodulation steps of the signal processing chain.
+Furthermore in this phase a software interface to select the modulation scheme and to configure the modulation parameters will be developed.
+
+\subsection{Fading channels}
+
+Once the prototype works we will integrate one or more fading channel models, both in software (simulation) and in hardware.
+The latter will be done by taking out the devices around the campus.
+Some effects of the channel will require the receiver to move, walking will be used to demonstrate those a scenarios.
+If there will be some time left, we may also use a car to demonstrate some other effects that are not observable at a walking speed.
