[[BR]] Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) PI: Thanasis Korakis Thanasis: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall022311/Poly_WiMAX_Feb_2011.ppt slides] Have installed and are using WiMAX RF AggMgr. [[BR]] UCLA (1797) PI: Mario Gerla, Giovanni Pau Giovanni: Antenna on 10th floor, -5deg tilt; Windows laptop with usb-connected 6250; seen 14Mb/s DL, 1 Mb/s UL;; connect to vehicle up to 230M; handoff WiMAX to WiFi; heavy rain doubled delay; $40k to install link to I2; isntalled WiMAX RF AggMgr, but not yet in use; will do range measurements by GEC10. [[BR]] Colorado: (1768) PI: Dirk Grunwald Univ. of Colorado, Boulder [[BR]] email from Dirk: We've changed the mounting location because we think the wind profile of the antenna makes the mounting system on top of the other building questionable. We regularly get 40-60mph winds this time of year.[[BR]] We've already selected the new location. It's one of the two locations where our campus is installing their own WiMAX equipment. There is a spare pole & mount already in place, so that simplifies installation. We have to install the "IDU" in a weatherized metal enclosure. Installation starts next Monday. The parts have been ordered this week & installation is being done by our campus IT group and professional building maintenance people.[[BR]] We also have a professional RF propagation survey done from this location. I've attached that as a PPT. This is for the (now) existing WiMAX system our campus has put up. Our antenna will be pointing due north. The existing propagation model doesn't include our system yet, and we're getting that done -- this will provide a model that we will calibrate using the signal analyzer and RF cards.

[[BR]] == Mobile Stations == 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 (Harry Mussman, Tony Michel and Tom Cahill) Process described in [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall022311/022311%20%20BBNWiMAXRangeThroughMeas.ppt slides], inclduing use of script in mobile station and server behind base station to evaluate connection with ping and iperf. Latest results described in [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall022311/022311%20%20BBNWiMAXRangeTroughputMeas.xls spreadsheet]. Seeing good results to 0.2 mi, but not yet further. Expect to finish measurements by GEC10, and provide packaged experiment. Soon, need to vary BTS parameters to see if can find a set for lower rates at greater distances. Do not expect range beyond 0.6mi.
