[[BR]] UCLA (1797) PI: Mario Gerla, Giovanni Pau Giovanni: Focusing on debugging driver; Xen with 6250 via minipci; can see Clearwire, but not GENI; throughput of 1 - 6 Mb/s; need to put dialog on mailing list. [[BR]] Colorado: (1768) PI: Dirk Grunwald Univ. of Colorado, Boulder Dirk: Have built new physically-small server, ubuntu, added quad ethernet; to fit near IDU; need campus IT to backhaul ehternet; so far, only windows clients. [[BR]] UMass Amherst (1731) PI: Mark Corner, Brian Lynn Brian: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall012711/UMassWimax-2011-01-24.pdf slides] BS setup; RFP out for installation; Xen VM with 6250 via USB; can't get to recognize GENI profile. [[BR]] Wisconsin (1724) PI: Suman Banerjee Derek Meyer: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall012711/UWisc%20%202011_1_27_Geni_Conference.pdf slides] BTS working indoors, power at 0dBm plus attenuator; connected to USB210 (beceem) client; ping with delay of 100ms. ASN GW server power supply failed; Ivan has ordered a new one, expect arrival soon. (Ivan: min delay approx 80ms.) [[BR]] BBN Technologies, Cambridge MA Tony Michel on range and capacity: (see below) [[BR]] Rutgers (Ivan Seskar) Ivan: [[BR]] == Deployment Status Summary == On Jan 27: [[BR]] || Campus || Who || Indoors || Outdoors || Using Intel 6250 modem? || Access to GENI backbone? || Comments || || Columbia University || Jan Janak || Yes || Plan Feb 2011 || Yes || ? || Indoor testing started; received info request from Clearwire || Polytechnic Institute of NYU || Thanasis Korakis || - || Yes || Yes || ? || Working on mobile stations and measurements || University of California, Los Angeles || Giovanni Pau || - || Yes || Intel 5130 modem || Campus via CENIC to I2 for Internet || Outdoor testing starting || University of Colorado, Boulder || Dirk Grunwald || Yes || Plan Feb 2011 ||x || Pricing campus tunnel to I2 || Working with campus IT; outdoor testing started || University of Massachusetts || Brian Lynn || Plan soon || Plan March 2011 || Yes, with USB, under Xen || I2 || Facility plan revised; prelim shading analysis completed || University of Wisconsin, Madison ||Derek Meyer || Yes || Plan Feb 2011 ||x || I2 is in next lab || Plant mgmt to install on Waisman Ctr || BBN Technologies || Tony Michel || - || Yes ||Yes || I2, NLR || Outdoor iperf testing underway || Rutgers University || Ivan Seskar || - || Yes || Yes || I2 || Plan Bush Campus install by Feb 2011 == Software Installation == Documentation and procedures (Manu Gosain) Finally able to see some parameters in BTS, with early WiMAX RF GS, showing WiMAX protocol adaptation. [[BR]] == Mobile Stations == Linux PC with Intel WiMAX card (Tony Michel and Tom Cahill) Working towards building an image from scratch. [[BR]] HTC EVO handset (Giovanni Pau) Will get one in Europe, end of Feb, Vodaphone dealer, unlocked. How can we get more? [[BR]] == Experiments == Range and capacity at BBN (Tony Michel and Tom Cahill) Testing with iperf; reliable up to 0.25mi, rates from 1 to 13 Mb/s; other times, won't connect, and ul seems to be the limit; finally able to see some parameters in BTS, with WiMAX RF GS, showing WiMAX protocol adaptation. [[BR]] Suman at Wisc: Has done lots of drive tests, results consistent; Cisco 8-element array at BS; Cisco desktop modem in vehicle, with patch antenna; up to 1 mile. [[BR]] Results to date. Parameters to change seeking greater range. [[BR]] Range and capacity expectations (Sampath Rangarajan) Can NEC provide guidance on what to expect? Can NEC verify/suggest parameters to change? [[BR]] Sampath: If we provide data, he will query NEC in Japan. [[BR]] Possible parameters to change: HARQ; pwoer level; add 2nd ODU and antenna for MIMO. [[BR]] Rajesh can help. [[BR]] Establishing an experiment exchange (Harry Mussman) Where? this wiki? When to start? Who can help? [[BR]] Yes, GENI wiki OK. [[BR]] Start experimenter mailing list (Ivan, Harry) [[BR]] == GENI WiMAX Licenses == || Campus || Call Sign || Frequency [MHz] || Location || Comment || || Columbia University || WF2XIU || 2590 || NL 40-48-34; WL 73-57-36 || || || Polytechnic Institute of NYU || WF2XJM || 2590 || NL 40-41-41; WL 73-59-09 || || || || WF2XJM || 2610 || NL 40-41-39; WL 73-59-10 || || || University of Colorado, Boulder || WF2XJV || 2572 || NL 39-59-53; WL 105-15-07 || || || || WF2XJV || 2572 || NL 40-00-24; WL 105-16-17 || || || || WF2XJV || 2572 || NL 40-00-26; WL 105-15-47 || || || || WF2XJV || 2572 || NL 40-00-29; WL 105-16-04 || || || Universty of California, Los Angeles || WF2XLG || 2572, 2590 || NL 34-04-09; WL 118-26-36 || || || || WF2XLG || 2572, 2590 || NL 34-04-19; WL 118-27-05 || || || || WF2XLG || 2572, 2590 || NL 34-04-00; WL 118-26-31 || || || University of Massachusetts || WF2XGQ || 2590 || NL 42-23-37; WL 72-31-55 || || || BBN Technologies || WF2XHS || 2512.5 (5 MHz) || NL 42-23-18; WL 71-08-57 || || || WF2XHD || 2590 || NL 42-23-18; WL 71-08-57 || || || University of Wisconsin, Madison || || 2545 || || || || Rutgers University || WE2XWE || 2590 || NL 40-31-17; WL 74-27-40 || || || || WE2XWE || 2610 || NL 40-28-05; WL 74-26-44 || ||
