This summation is just the sum of odd index binomial coefficients.
We know that
the sum of the binomial coefficients from (0,n)=2^n $\sum_{i=0}^{n} {{n}\choose{i}} =2^n$
We also know that the alternation sum of binomial coefficients from (0,n)=0 (which is summation (i=0,n) of (-1)^i * nCi)
If you subtract the second equation from the first you get
2*summation from (i=0,n) of nC(2i+1)=2^n
