(GEC10) (*GEC12) === Steps to Deploying OMF/OML in WiMAX Sites and Experiments === 1) Use Cases Harry Mussman (BBN) [[BR]] 5:00pm [[BR]] Use Case 1) Service from Local or Internet Application [[BR]] 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. [[BR]] Use Case 2) Experiment with “Fixed” Mobile Node (Station) [[BR]] 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. [[BR]] Use Case 3) Experiment with “Roaming” Mobile Node (Station) [[BR]] 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. [[BR]] 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. [[BR]] Finally, local experimenter reconnects mobile node to BS, and transfers data from Meas Srvr on mobile node to Meas Srvr at BS.
