[[PageOutline]] = WiMAX Campus Deployment Coordination = Thursday, March 17, 2011, 9:00am - 10:30am [[BR]] Room: [[BR]] Session Leader: Harry Mussman (GPO, Raytheon BBN Technologies) [[BR]] This is a tentative agenda, and is expected to change. [[BR]] == Description == The projects involved in deploying WiMAX base stations will review their current status and progress towards their Spiral 3 roadmap goals. == Attendees == BBN Technologies Harry Mussman, Manu Gosain [[BR]] NEC Laboratories America Sampath Rangarajan, Rajesh Mahindra [[BR]] WINLAB Ivan Seskar [[BR]] Columbia Univ Sung-Hoon Seo, Jan Janak [[BR]] Polytechnic Institute of NYU Thanasis Korakis [[BR]] UCLA Giovanni Pau, two students[[BR]] Colorado Dirk Grunwald [[BR]] UMass Amherst Mark Corner [[BR]] Wisconsin Derek Meyer [[BR]] == Introductions == == Deployment Status (one slide from each campus) == Columbia University (1770) PI: Henning Schulzrinne Sung Hoon Seo and Jan Janak: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall022311/columbia_022311.ppt slides] Waiting for contract approval and installation; hoping for early March. [[BR]] Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) PI: Thanasis Korakis Thanasis: [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/ClusterECall022311/Poly_WiMAX_Feb_2011.ppt slides] Installed and 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; seeing 14Mb/s DL, 1 Mb/s UL;; connect to vehicle up to 230 m; done handoff WiMAX to WiFi; heavy rain doubled delay (why?) ; $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.

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, will vary BTS parameters to see if can find a set for greater distances at lower rates. Do not expect range beyond 0.6mi. [[BR]] Range and throughput at Univ Colorado (Dirk Grunwald) [[BR]] == Upgrade to new WiMAX RF AggMgr == Functions and procedures (Ivan Seskar and Manu Gosain) [[BR]] Review of functionality; includes ability to get, store and restore a full set of BTS configuration parameters. [[BR]] Review of process to move to new WiMAX RF AggMgr.
