Cooperate with Clearwire
Manu Gosain (GPO) and Ivan Seskar (WINLAB)
- Current approach, as an alternative to an agreement that leases Clearwire spectrum to GENI sites:
- Operate under an experimental license from the FCC; otherwise require contract between site and Clearwire, with $ and conditions
- Agreement between Rutgers WINLAB and Clearwire, on enhanced cooperation
- Maintain accurate DB of site information and contacts at Rutgers, and share with Clearwire
- Responsive local contact, at each site
- Centralized monitoring server at Rutgers WINLAB
- Ability to quickly turn off site transmitter, if interference suspected
- Possible extension: remote emergency stop, with access to GMOC
- Operate under an experimental license from the FCC; otherwise require contract between site and Clearwire, with $ and conditions
What are next steps?
- Review information on site information and site dashboard pages, and finalize
- Establish process to add site information, then maintain and track
- Establish email list for operations issues
- Provide operations interface to GMOC and Clearwire
- Complete agreement with Clearwire
- Encourage all GENI sites to obtain experimental licenses
- Include WiMAX into GENI emergency stop process
- Consider adding a WiMAX "emergency stop" button, for use by the GMOC
