Cluster-E and WiMAX Deployment Meetings at GEC9, Agenda and Notes
Tuesday, November 2, 1pm - 4:30pm
Room: Congressional B
Meeting Chair: Marco Gruteser (Rutgers WINLAB)
Co-chair: Tony Michel (Raytheon BBN Technologies)
System Engineer: Harry Mussman (GPO, Raytheon BBN Technologies)
Introductions
All
1) WiMAX Base Station Installation, Setup and Initial Operation
BBN Manu Gosain:
Slides, including these topics:
WiMAX Build-out Essentials
WiMAX Build-out Status
WiMAX Base Station
BBN Infrastructure
BBN Mobile Stations (Clients)
BBN OMF/OML Setup
BBN Experiments
Next Steps
Wisconsin (1724) Suman Banerjee:
Status
Cisco base station up and running.
Have the towers up for base station kit, but not on the air; campus getting AT&T cell overhaul has precedence
Working on integration with NEC base station
Plan to set up 3 stations to cover whole Madison campus
Want vehicle connectivity, including Madison metro transit
Also have a deal with regional bus using 3G
Working on handoffs between 3G, WiMAX, WiFi
See demo tonight
Custom-built WiMAX station on busses
Using Cisco modems, and external WiMAX antenna on the roof
Get 1-1.5 mile range
UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn:
Slides
Have our HW
Not planning to use sector antenna; using an omni antenna
Going in to 17-floor bldg
Hope for Dec install
Expensive $6000 for estimate to install
Hope to have connectivity to the busses
Now have 3G connection to busses, and don't expect to replace the 3G
DOME SW (bus node) runs in new brick, but 6250 Intel modem doesn't work (Pau(UCLA) says 6250 works for me)
Also ViSE stations 7 miles away; can these be served?
Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis:
Status and Experience
BS in downtown Brooklyn, many high blgs
See ParkNet demo
Installed in library network room, ODU on roof of ECE
Two experimental licenses; would like to make one permanent
OMF up and running for WiFi testbed
Client working:
Laptop with Beceem dongle
EVO running with Sprint ID
Linux with Intel 6250 card working best
Columbia University (1770) Jan Janak for Henning Schulzrinne:
Columbia University WiMAX Campus Deployment and Installation
Received the kit 3 weeks ago
Not operational; hope for 2nd week Nov operational
Hope to cover plaza from Fairchild roof, 12 floors up
Advice: keep the documentation simple to keep costs low
Initial quote was $20,000 to install
IDU in ham radio shack
ODU outside antenna on short pole
Two Intel Centrino cards working on laptop
Colorado: (1768) Caleb Phillips for Dirk Grunwald:
Status
Have hardware except 48V supply
Antenna at existing antenna site
Some competition from another WiMAX service on campus
UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau:
Slides
Recvd all hardware, installed with student labor and scrap pipe
Rely on adjacent bldg lightning protection
Missing GPS coax
Integrating OMF
BREAK
2) WiMAX Range and Throughput Measurements, and Site Planning
BBN Tony Michel:
Measurements, initial conclusions, potential site planning tools
Slides
Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis:
Meaurements and plans
WiMAX base setup and measurements measurements are all RSSI only; not testing GRE, DHCP or data transport
Indoor coverage is poor except near the windows that face the plaza
WINLAB Marco Gruteser:
Measurements
Range to 200-300 meters, distance to Rt 1
Linux PC with 5150/5350 has a lot of problems with connection setup, just like at BBN...worse in weak signal
UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau:
Use of WiMAX Range Tools, Plans
Software to assess your coverage: Radio Mobile for Windows
3) WiMAX Mobile Stations (Clients)
Current options:
Windows PC with dongle based on Beceem chips
Linux PC (e.g., Samsung NC10 and Dell Mini) with Intel WiMAX modem card
Android HTC EVO handset
Mobile (vehicular) node with WiMAX modem (various)
BBN Manu Gosain and Tony Michel:
Slides
Windows PC with dongle based on Beceem chips
Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card; and Android HTC EVO handset
Wisconsin (1724) Suman Banerjee:
Mobile Access Router, with Cisco WiMAX modem
With external WiMAX antenna on roof, ahve seen 1 - 1.5mi range
UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn:
C1270CW motherboard, miniPCIe slot, WiMAX modem
Not yet working; have sent card back to board vendor
UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau:
Dual-mode vehicular node
4) Demos/Experiments Planned for GEC9, GEC10
Rutgers WINLAB and NYU Poly Marco Gruteser and Thanasis Korakis:
ParkNet demo for GEC9 Plenary
BBN Manu Gosain and Tony Michel:
Slides
Basic Internet access, now
Range and throughput measurements using Linux PC, and iperf, for GEC10
Wisconsin (1724) Suman Banerjee:
Continuous Vehicular Connectivity through Multiple Wide-area Interfaces demo for GEC9
Have no mobile handoff going yet
Using mobile station that does cellular+WiFi+WiMAX
Plans for after GEC9:
More work with bus network. Bus company wants to hook up on-bus cameras. Would WiMAX let them test and maintain the cameras more cheaply/easily?
Increase campus coverage; install BS on bus company property, grow coverage in Madison
GEC10 demo:
Users on bus in motion, handoff working, between Cisco and NEC
(Ivan comment: next base stations will be different. R6 protocol is different between these and original base stations, and is not compatible)
UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn:
Plans
Get WiMAX available to all interested researchers/grad students
Want to use WiMAX in their new architecture grant
Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis:
Plans:
More measurements and get OMF working
WiFi/WiMAX integration
Start some research use WiMAX
Colorado: (1768) Dirk Grunwald:
Plans:
Get up and running
Columbia University (1770) Henning Schulzrinne:
Plans:
Get up and running
GROUP DISCUSSION:
Tony Michel (BBN) suggest that everyone should do a standardized test,including IPERF results
Giovanni Pau (UCLA) doesn't like IPERF...funny buffer behavior
Brian Lynn (UMass) says this is a lot of work. Let's think about it
Suman Bannerjee (Wisconsin) we should do a "cross-campus" demo (intercampus)
Ivan: we will do something, maybe UMass-WinLAB.
Brian: could we set up inter-campus VLAN like UMass-BBN?
Ivan: we could tunnel the ASNGW
Ivan: what is the default slice?
5) Spiral 3 Roadmap
WiMAX Deployment Roadmap for Spiral 3
