Spiral 3 Roadmap: Next Steps

4:55pm

This roadmap shows the original and *current goals that apply to the GENI WiMAX projects:

1) Install and bring up WiMAX base station kit, including the ASN Gateway. (GEC10, or earlier) ALL COMPLETED

2) Evaluate range and thoughput of WiMAX base station kit and Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card and/or mobile station used for for experiments. (GEC10, or earlier) (GEC11) FIRST RESULTS NOW

3) Install and bring up an instance of OMF/OML. (GEC10, or earlier) (*GEC12) (except UMass)

4) Operate and maintain the WiMax BS and the related GENI controller, using ORBIT Management Framework (OMF), with support for remote access by GENI users. (GEC11) (*GEC12) (except UMass)

5) Present a mobility demo using WiMAX base station node, including the ASN Gateway, a Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card, or the dual-mode vehicular nodes, supporting both WiFi and WiMAX, required for your experiments, and a local instance of OMF/OML. (GEC10) (*GEC12)

Steps to Deploying OMF/OML in WiMAX Sites and Experiments

1) Use Cases Harry Mussman (BBN)
5:00pm

Use Case 1) Service from Local or Internet Application

Local user connects MS via WiMAX to BS, and receives service from applications on a local network or via the Internet. Similar to commercial 4G service.

Use Case 2) Experiment with “Fixed” Mobile Node (Station)

Local or remote experimenter logs in to BS and uses OMF/OML to setup and run experiment between “fixed” mobile node (“in window”) and fixed node. This is essential to be able to support a remote experimenter.

Use Case 3) Experiment with “Roaming” Mobile Node (Station)

Local experimenter logs in to BS and uses OMF/OML to setup experiment between “roaming” mobile node (that is connected to BS) and fixed node, and starts experiment in fixed node.
Then, local experimenter disconnects mobile node from BS, and uses Exp Cntrl Srvc on mobile node to run experiment in mobile node while the roaming, storing data on Meas Srvr on mobile node.
Finally, local experimenter reconnects mobile node to BS, and transfers data from Meas Srvr on mobile node to Meas Srvr at BS.

2) Features Harry Mussman (BBN)
5:05pm

3) Coded and Tested at WINLAB Ivan Seskar (Rutgers WINLAB)
5:10pm
Four slides

4) Integrated and Tested at BBN Manu Gosain (BBN)
5:20pm
Four slides

5) Questions
5:30pm

6) Install and bring up experiment-controlled L2 (or OpenFlow) switch, to provide enhanced connectivity from the WiMAX testbed to the GENI backbone. (GEC11) (*?)

7) Install and bring up Virtual Base Station (vBS)server, to support multiple simultaneous experiments (slicing) on the GENI WiMAX base station node. (GEC11) (*?)

8) Present mobility and/or application demos/experiments, showing support for multiple simultaneous experiments (slicing) of the GENI WiMAX base station node, and remote access by GENI users, utilizing experiment-controlled L2 (or OpenFlow) switch, and Virtual Base Station (vBS) server. (GEC11) (*?)
