[[PageOutline]] = WiMAX Campus Deployments and Experiments = Friday, November 4, 2011, 1pm - 3pm [[BR]] Room: [[BR]] Session Leader: Harry Mussman, (GPO, Raytheon BBN Technologies) [[BR]] == Description == This session will first review the GENI WiMAX strategy, and then concentrate on plans for the new WiMAX site deployments and extensions that will be supported by Solicitation 3 projects. Next, goals for GENI WiMAX experiments will be presented, and finally current and planned experiments will be discussed. [[BR]] == Summary == == Agenda == This is a tentative agenda, which may change. [[BR]] NOTE: We have many topics to cover in a short time. PLEASE bring only the designated number of slides, and provide a link to additional information. THANKS! [[BR]] == 1) Introductions == 1pm [[BR]] == 2) GENI WiMAX Strategy == 1:05pm [[BR]] Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]] == 3) New (Sol 3) GENI WiMAX Site Deployments and Extensions == 1:20pm [[BR]] === 3.1) Airspan Profile-C Base Station, with Associated Hardware and Software === 1:20pm [[BR]] Ivan Seskar (WINLAB) and Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]] a) Airspan/Rutgers will provide a kit including: [[BR]] Airspan MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, for outside mounting[[BR]] Choice of frequency: [[BR]] (2510 Lo: 2496MHz to 2570MHz) [[BR]] (2510 Mid: 2560MHz to 2630MHz) [[BR]] (2510 Hi: 2620MHz to 2690MHz) [[BR]] (3650: 3650MHz to 3700MHz)] [[BR]] Sector antenna, with x4 RF jumper cables [[BR]] 2x4 MIMO, supported by base station and antenna [[BR]] GPS antenna, with surge suppressor and cable [[BR]] DC power cable, from base station unit (outside) to testbed (inside) [[BR]] Network management software license, 1 per base station [[BR]] b) Campus will need to provide: [[BR]] Pole for mounting [[BR]] DC power supply (-48v, approx 300W) [[BR]] Ethernet cable, from base station unit (outside) to testbed (inside) [[BR]] Windows server to host network management software [[BR]] Linux server to host OMF software [[BR]] Ethernet switches, and other network equipment, for access (configuration to be provided) [[BR]] c) Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]] Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]] d) It is expected that additional base stations kits can be purchased by GENI in Spiral 5. [[BR]] Thus, campus site might be able to add additional sectors, at no cost. [[BR]] Planning for next year will be done later this year. [[BR]] Consider including additional sectors within your technical plan right away. [[BR]] e) Note: Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]] Somewhat reduced performance/range. [[BR]] Approximately half the cost [[BR]] f) Airspan indicates that their sector antenna provides:[[BR]] A 90degree pattern, which is consistent with proper coverage over a 120degree sector.[[BR]] Four internal elements, to support 2x4 MIMO.[[BR]] Airspan can provide provide x4 omni-directional antennas, but the cost is much higher, and the range is signifcantly reduced.[[BR]] 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]] 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]] 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]] h) Airspan shows that if handover operation is desired, an ASN GW must be provided, plus typically an associated RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]] In this case, the base station unit operates with IP at the interface.
