WiMAX Prototyping in Metro Detroit

[yuchen.wayne@gmail.com]

Brief demo description (A few sentences suitable for a GEC attendee information page. See ​http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/GEC16Agenda/EveningDemoSession ) We will demonstrate the GENI-enabled OpenXC platform as well as its application in vehicular sensing and control. We will also share our comprehensive measurement results for the WiMAX network in Detroit.

List of equipment that will need AC connections (e.g. laptop, switch hardware prototype, monitor). (Just put in the number of connections needed if your demo description already lists the equipment)

2 laptops, 1 monitor

Number of wired network connections (include required bandwidth if significant) 1

Number of wireless network connections (include required bandwidth if significant) 2

Number of static addresses needed (if any) None

Monitor (y/n, specify VGA or DVI) (Specify resolution only if your software has resolution restrictions.) y, 1 VGA

Number of posters (max size poster boards are 30" x 40") 1, 30" x 40"

Description of any special requests (include any specific network connectivity needs (e.g. layer2 VLAN to NLR), projects you'd like to be located near, etc.) Layer2 VLAN from GEC 17 demo site to Wayne State University.

More updates about the layer2 VLAN for WSU

Suppose the system consists of a base station (10.3.11.11), a Netspan server (10.3.11.252), a laptop hosting a WiMAX dongle. When the dongle connects to the BS, its hosting laptop is assigned an IP 10.3.11.* by DHCP. What we request is an end-to-end connectivity from WSU to the demo site. Specifically, data can be transferred from the laptop hosting the dongle at WSU to a PC/laptop at the demo site through the WiMAX and I2 network. As shown in the following illustration, what we need is the connectivity from our BS to the demo site (the red arrow).

Laptop (10.3.11.*) hosting a WiMAX Dongle at WSU <---------> BS at WSU (10.3.11.11) <------------> PC/laptop at the demo site

We tested the topology today. VLAN 915 will need to be plumbed from the I2 end point @Wisc to the demo floor.

We tested pings between the Wisconsin wimax base station and the WSU base station.

WSU --I2-- Rutgers --I2-- Wisconsin
