| 843 | * Layer 2 handoff |
| 844 | * Minimal: Mobile node breaks its connection with current WiMAX BS and then establishes connection with the new WiMAX BS [[BR]] |
| 845 | * Better: Mobile node needs two interfaces, in the simplest form, one interface always connects to BS1 while the other connects to BS2 [[BR]] |
| 846 | * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort [[BR]] |
| 847 | |
| 848 | * Layer 3 handoff |
| 849 | * Minimal: Controller node re-routes through new BS after IP address re-write, BUT does not allow initiation of incoming connection |
| 850 | [[BR]] |
| 851 | * Better: Use open source mobile IP s/w (Transparent Mobile IP [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tmip/ link], and OpenFlow s/w in mobile node to de-encapsulate IP packets [[BR]] |
| 852 | * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort [[BR]] |

| 1006 | Ivan Seskar (WINLAB) and Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]] |
| 1007 | |
| 1008 | |
| 1009 | a) Choice of Airspan to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]] |
| 1010 | NEC is not able to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]] |
| 1011 | WINLAB and the GPO have decided to purchase base stations from Airspan, a commercial company pursuing target customers such as universities and small carriers. [[BR]] |
| 1012 | For example, the Univ of Colorado at Boulder IT Dept has installed an Airspan system with 4 sectors, that covers the campus. They have been pleased with Airspan. [[BR]] |
| 1013 | WINLAB has a frim quote from Airspan for their MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, and related items. [[BR]] |

| 1018 | |
| 1019 | b) Rutgers will provide a kit including: [[BR]] |
| 1020 | Airspan MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, for outside mounting[[BR]] |
| 1021 | Choice of frequency: [[BR]] |
| 1022 | (2510 Lo: 2496MHz to 2570MHz) [[BR]] |
| 1023 | (2510 Mid: 2560MHz to 2630MHz) [[BR]] |
| 1024 | (2510 Hi: 2620MHz to 2690MHz) [[BR]] |
| 1025 | (3650: 3650MHz to 3700MHz)] [[BR]] |
| 1026 | |
| 1027 | NOTE: WINLAB needs to know frequency choices during November (or early December), so that they can place an order with Airspan for delivery late 2011 or early 2012! |
| 1028 | |
| 1029 | Sector antenna, with x4 RF jumper cables [[BR]] |
| 1030 | 2x4 MIMO, supported by base station and antenna [[BR]] |
| 1031 | GPS antenna, with surge suppressor and cable [[BR]] |
| 1032 | DC power cable, from base station unit (outside) to testbed (inside) [[BR]] |
| 1033 | Network management software license, 1 per base station [[BR]] |
| 1034 | |
| 1035 | |
| 1036 | c) Campus will need to provide: [[BR]] |
| 1037 | Pole for mounting [[BR]] |
| 1038 | DC power supply (-48v, approx 300W) [[BR]] |
| 1039 | Ethernet cable, from base station unit (outside) to testbed (inside); consider copper (may be a problem with lightning surge) or fiber (requires MM fiber cable, and fiber interface on switch) [[BR]] |
| 1040 | Windows server to host network management software [[BR]] |
| 1041 | Linux server to host OMF software [[BR]] |
| 1042 | Ethernet switches, and other network equipment, for access (configuration to be provided) [[BR]] |
| 1043 | |
| 1044 | d) Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]] |
| 1045 | Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]] |
| 1046 | |
| 1047 | e) It is expected that additional base stations kits will be purchased for some (or all) Sol 3 GENI sites in Spiral 5. [[BR]] |
| 1048 | Thus, campus site might be able to add additional sectors, at no cost. [[BR]] |
| 1049 | Planning for next year will be done later this year. [[BR]] |
| 1050 | Consider including additional sectors within your technical plan right away. [[BR]] |
| 1051 | |
| 1052 | f) Note: Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]] |
| 1053 | Somewhat reduced performance/range. [[BR]] |
| 1054 | Approximately half the cost [[BR]] |
| 1055 | |
| 1056 | g) Airspan indicates that their sector antenna provides:[[BR]] |
| 1057 | A 90degree pattern, which is consistent with proper coverage over a 120degree sector.[[BR]] |
| 1058 | Four internal elements, to support 2x4 MIMO.[[BR]] |
| 1059 | Airspan can provide provide x4 omni-directional antennas, but the cost is much higher, and the range is signifcantly reduced.[[BR]] |
| 1060 | |
| 1061 | h) Airspan shows that their profile-C base station unit can be configured to operate without an ASN GW and without a RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]] |
| 1062 | In this mode, a list of allowed base stations must be configured into the base station, and groups of these base stations are mapped to a VLAN on the ethernet port.[[BR]] |
| 1063 | This appears to be consistent with the current NEC base station unit operated with the ASN GW/WiMAX RF AggMgr code that has been provided by Rutgers/WINLAB[[BR]] |
| 1064 | [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEC12WiMaxDeploymentAndExperimentation/CS%20Network%20Configuration%20Setup%20Guide.pdf MacroMAXe Configuration Guide][[BR]] |
| 1065 | |
| 1066 | i) Airspan shows that if handover operation is desired, an ASN GW must be provided, plus typically an associated RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]] |
| 1067 | In this case, the base station unit operates with IP at the interface. [[BR]] |

| 1092 | Fraida Fund (NYU Poly), Manu Gosain (GPO), Derek Meyer (Wisconsin), [[BR]] |
| 1093 | |
| 1094 | * Equip a WiMAX site with full OMF/OML capabilities, installing on VMs [[BR]] |
| 1095 | * Include Login Service for Remote Users [[BR]] |
| 1096 | |
| 1097 | * NYU Poly configuration: [[BR]] |
| 1098 | |
| 1099 | * 1) physical host acting as base station controller, runs the asn-gw and wimaxrf AM. [[BR]] |
| 1100 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 1101 | * It has Ethernet connections to the NEC IDU, NYU-Poly network (and Internet), and very soon GENI backbone (campus IS just informed me that they will be testing that tomorrow). [[BR]] |
| 1102 | * We have firewall rules set up so this host only accepts traffic from host (2) on the wimaxrf AM port. This allows us to make sure that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS. [[BR]] |
| 1103 | |
| 1104 | * 2) physical host running OMF 5.3 AM, EC, and some other services that are useful for the testbed. [[BR]] |
| 1105 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 1106 | * It has Ethernet connections to NYU-Poly network (internet) and OMF control network. [[BR]] |
| 1107 | * This is the host that testbed users log on to. We have firewall rules set up on this host so that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS or communicate with the testbed nodes. [[BR]] |
| 1108 | |
| 1109 | * 3) physical host that serves our group website and the reservation system for the testbed. It's connected to the NYU-Poly network (and Internet) [[BR]] |
| 1110 | * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]] |
| 1111 | |
| 1112 | * Our testbed nodes are scattered throughout several CS labs and research areas (not part of our group). [[BR]] |
| 1113 | * They are connected to the pre-existing Ethernet jacks in the walls and floors of those rooms, which all go back to a CS server room, where we patch them through to our own (non-openflow) switch for the control network. [[BR]] |
| 1114 | * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]] |
