| 10 | Brainstorming and discussion by group at GEC7 meeting on March 16:[[BR]] |
| 11 | 1) Multi-campus application, e.g, wideband video between handsets; distributed conferencing; video content distribution[[BR]] |
| 12 | 2) Mobile connectivity: car to car, car to infrastructure via WiMAX[[BR]] |
| 13 | 3) Portable switch for Layer 2 connectivity; like Sprint mobile hot spot, except Layer 2; client to switch via WiFi, switch to infrastructure via WiMAX; good for campus access.[[BR]] |
| 14 | 4) Virtualized WiMAX provides emergency slice; adjust network utilization to assure good QoS for emergency slice; reassign to accomplish dynamic provisioning.[[BR]] |

| 16 | Stretch deployment goal discussed by Ivan, Harry and Tony on March 22: [[BR]] |
| 17 | 1) Rutgers would ship three kits by mid-May to campuses. [[BR]] |
| 18 | 2) Rutgers (with possible help from BBN) would get four campuses (e.g., Rutgers, BBN, UMass, and ?) setup with outdoor WiMAX systems by June 15. [[BR]] |
| 19 | 3) Basic multi campus demo could be done by GEC8 [[BR]] |
| 20 | 4) Extended multi campus demo could be done by GEC9 [[BR]] |

| 22 | Submitted to Mark Berman on March 31: [[BR]] |
| 23 | 1) Rutgers and Stanford have proposed a "Wirel" demo proposal for GEC9, that combines both WiMAX and OpenFlow elements. [[BR]] |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Demo plans for GEC8 and/or GEC9 discussed by Ray, Ivan, Harry, Mark and Tony on April 13: [[BR]] |
| 26 | 1) Wirel demo is separate, only Rutgers and Stanford. [[BR]] |
| 27 | 2) Goals for GEC8 demo: [[BR]] |
| 28 | * WiMAX base station infrastructure is in place on multiple campuses (four?), and operational. [[BR]] |
| 29 | * WiMAX base station is virtualized, with multiple slices, including (if possible) one multi-site slice. [[BR]] |
| 30 | * A slice can be configured by an experimenter, including (if possible) downloading code into the slice's VM in the gateway. [[BR]] |
| 31 | 3) Goals for GEC9 demo: [[BR]] |
| 32 | * Full WiMAX capabilities. [[BR]] |
| 33 | * Openness of the API. [[BR]] |
| 34 | * Multicasting across the country, through multiple sites. [[BR]] |
| 35 | * Rate adaptation to available bandwidth. [[BR]] |
| 36 | * Meet the objective for a research experiment.[[BR]] |
| 37 | 4) Specific demo ideas:[[BR]] |
| 38 | * Basic video multicast.[[BR]] |
| 39 | * Extended video multicast, with rate adapted to available bandwidth (under study now, not easy). |
| 40 | * Multicast, where measure available downstream rates at multiple sites, via multiple connectivity situations, and report back to measurement archive; might be extended to include available upstream rates; could eventually be used to automatically evaluate a network deployment.[[BR]] |
| 41 | * Cache and forward, to provide a delay-tolerant network.[[BR]] |
| 42 | * Use Layer 2 connectivity, but how?[[BR]] |
