GEC12WiMaxDeploymentAndExperimentation
v10 v11 32 32 Ivan Seskar (WINLAB) and Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]] 33 33 34 Airspan/Rutgers will provide a kit including: [[BR]]34 a) Airspan/Rutgers will provide a kit including: [[BR]] 35 35 Airspan MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, for outside mounting[[BR]] 36 36 Choice of frequency: [[BR]] … … 45 45 Network management software license, 1 per base station [[BR]] 46 46 47 Campus will need to provide: [[BR]]47 b) Campus will need to provide: [[BR]] 48 48 Pole for mounting [[BR]] 49 49 DC power supply (-48v, approx 300W) [[BR]] … … 53 53 Ethernet switches, and other network equipment, for access (configuration to be provided) [[BR]] 54 54 55 Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]]55 c) Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]] 56 56 Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]] 57 57 58 It is expected that additional base stations kits can be purchased by GENI in Spiral 5. [[BR]]58 d) It is expected that additional base stations kits can be purchased by GENI in Spiral 5. [[BR]] 59 59 Thus, campus site might be able to add additional sectors, at no cost. [[BR]] 60 60 Planning for next year will be done later this year. [[BR]] 61 61 Consider including additional sectors within your technical plan right away. [[BR]] 62 62 63 Note: Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]]63 e) Note: Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]] 64 64 Somewhat reduced performance/range. [[BR]] 65 65 Approximately half the cost [[BR]] 66 67 f) Airspan indicates that their sector antenna provides:[[BR]] 68 A 90degree pattern, which is consistent with proper coverage over a 120degree sector.[[BR]] 69 Four internal elements, to support 2x4 MIMO.[[BR]] 70 Airspan can provide provide x4 omni-directional antennas, but the cost is much higher, and the range is signifcantly reduced.[[BR]] 71 72 g) 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]] 73 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]] 74 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]] 75 76 h) Airspan shows that if handover operation is desired, an ASN GW must be provided, plus typically an associated RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]] 77 In this case, the base station unit operates with IP at the interface.
