| 7 | == DOME Buses == |
| 8 | The test bed is fully operational. We have several people running |
| 9 | experiments. The test bed has been 100% utilized since April. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | We continue to add features in response to our users' needs. Most |
| 12 | recently we added a tool to that allows a user to get the |
| 13 | historical routes and stops of the buses that executed |
| 14 | experiments. |
| 15 | |
| 16 | We have finalized and tested the changes to support the ORCA |
| 17 | bella release. Additionally, we changed the DOME reservation |
| 18 | policy to allow researchers to reserve a portion of the test bed. |
| 19 | Previously, a user could only reserve the entire test bed, so |
| 20 | only one experiment could be run at a time. To implement this |
| 21 | change, we use multiple units in the resource pool. We also made |
| 22 | changes to how DOME communicates leases to buses, to prevent |
| 23 | thrashing of experiments from one bus to another. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | == DOME WiMAX == |
| 26 | We have finalized the location for the WiMAX base station, |
| 27 | including both the indoor and outdoor equipment. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | We received the outdoor equipment from Rutgers. We also purchased |
| 30 | an omni-directional antenna. |
