Have the towers up for base station kit, but not on the air; campus getting AT&T cell overhaul has precedence Working on integration with NEC Plan to set up 3 stations to cover whole Madison campus Want vehicle connectivity, including Madison metro transit Also have a deal with regional bus using 3G Working on handoffs between 3G, WiMAX, WiFi See demo tonight Custom-built WiMAX station on busses Using Cisco modems, and external WimAX antenna on the roof Get 1-1.5 mile range UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn: Status [[BR]] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/DOME-WiMAX.pdf Slides] Have our HW Not planning to use sector antenna Going in to 17-floor bldg Hope for Dec install Expensive $6000 for estimate to install Hope to have connectivity to the busses Now have 3G connection to busses, and don't expect to replace the 3G DOME SW (bus node) runs in new brick, but 6250 Intel modem doesn't work (Pau(UCLA) says 6250 works for me) Also ViSE stations 7 miles away; can these be served? Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis: Status and Experience [[BR]] BS in downtown Brooklyn, many high blgs See ParkNet demo Installed in library network room, ODU on roof of ECE Two experimental licenses; would like to make one permanent OMF up and running for WiFi tetsbed Client working: Laptop with Beceem dongle EVO running with Sprint id Linux with Intel 6250 card working best Columbia University (1770) Jan Janak for Henning Schulzrinne: Status[[BR]] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/WIMXCOLUM/CUWIMAX Columbia University WiMAX Campus Deployment and Installation][[BR]] Received the kit 3 weeks ago Not operational; hope for 2nd week Nov operational Hope to cover plaza from Fairchild roof 12 floors Advice: keep the documentation simple to keep costs low Initial quote was $20,000 to install IDU in ham radio shack ODU outside antenna on short pole Two Intel Centrino cards working on laptop Colorado: (1768) Caleb Phillips for Dirk Grunwald: Status [[BR]] Have hardware except 48V supply Antenna at existing antenna site Some competition from another WiMAX service on campus UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau: Status [[BR]] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/UCLA-STATUS-ClusterE.ppt Status Slides][[BR]] Recvd all hardware, installed with student labor and scrap pipe Rely on adjacent bldg lightning protection Missing GPS coax Integrating OMF Software to assess your coverage: [http://www.cplus.org/rmw/english1.html Radio Mobile for Windows] Break [[BR]] === 2) WiMAX Range and Throughput Measurements, and Site Planning === BBN Tony Michel: Measurements, initial conclusions, potential site planning tools [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/BBN%20%20RangeThroughput%20%20axmGEC9-pix.ppt Summary Slides] [[BR]] Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis: Meaurements and plans [[BR]] WiMAX base setup and measurements measurements are all RSSI only; not testing GRE, DHCP or data transport Indoor coverage is poor except near the windows that face the plaza WINLAB Marco Gruteser: Measurements Range to 200-300 meters, dist to Rt 1 Linux PC with 5150/5350 has a lot of problems with connection setup, just like at BBN...worse in weak signal UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau: Use of WiMAX Range Tools, Plans [[BR]] Software to assess your coverage: [http://www.cplus.org/rmw/english1.html Radio Mobile for Windows] === 3) WiMAX Mobile Stations (Clients) === Including: Windows PC with dongle based on Beceem chips [[BR]] Linux PC (e.g., Samsung NC10 and Dell Mini) with Intel WiMAX modem card [[BR]] Android HTC EVO handset [[BR]] Mobile (vehicular) node with WiMAX modem (various) [[BR]] BBN Manu Gosain and Tony Michel: Windows PC with dongle based on Beceem chips; Linux PC with Intel WiMAX modem card; and Android HTC EVO handset [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/BBN%20%20MobileStations%20%20GENI_WiMAX_11022010.ppt Slides][[BR]] Wisconsin (1724) Suman Banerjee: Mobile Access Router, with WiMAX interface [[BR]] UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn: C1270CW motherboard, miniPCIe slot, WiMAX modem [[BR]] UCLA (1797) Giovanni Pau: Dual-mode vehicular node [[BR]] === 4) Demos/Experiments Planned for GEC9, GEC10 === Rutgers WINLAB and NYU Poly Marco Gruteser and Thanasis Korakis: ParkNet demo for GEC9 Plenary [[BR]] BBN Manu Gosain and Tony Michel: Basic Internet access; range and throughput measurements using Linux PC, and iperf, for GEC10 [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/BBN%20Experiments%20%20GENI_WiMAX_11022010.ppt Slides][[BR]] Wisconsin (1724) Suman Banerjee: Continuous Vehicular Connectivity through Multiple Wide-area Interfaces demo for GEC9 [[BR]] Plans: [[BR]] More work with bus network. Bus company wants to hook up on-bus cameras. Would WiMAX let them test and maintain the cameras more cheaply/easily? Increase campus coverage; install BS on bus company property, grow coverage in Madison Have no mobile handoff going yet GEC10 demo: users on bus in motion, handoff working, between cisco and NEC (Ivan comment: next base stations will be different. R6 protocol is different between these and original base stations, and is not compatible) Using mobile station that does cellular+WiFi+WiMAX? UMass Amherst (1731) Brian Lynn: Plans [[BR]] Get WiMAX available to all interested researchers/grad students Want to use WiMAX in their new architecture grant Polytechnic Institute of NYU (1751) Thanasis Korakis: Plans: [[BR]] More measurements and get OMF working WiFi/WiMAX integration Start some research use WiMAX Colorado: (1768) Dirk Grunwald: Plans: [[BR]] Get up and running Columbia University (1770) Henning Schulzrinne: Plans: [[BR]] Get up and running GROUP DISCUSSION: [[BR]] Tony Michel (BBN) suggest that everyone should do a standardized test,including IPERF results Giovanni Pau (UCLA) doesn't like IPERF...funny buffer behavior Brian Lynn (UMass) this is a lot of work. Let's think about it Suman Bannerjee (Wisconsin) we should do a "cross-campus" demo (intercampus) Ivan: we will do something, maybe UMass-WinLAB. Brian: could we set up inter-campus VLAN like UMass-BBN? Ivan: we could tunnel the ASNGW Ivan: what is the default slice? === 5) Spiral 3 Roadmap === As reviewed by GPO with projects: References:[[BR]] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/wiki/WiMAXRoadmapSpiral3 WiMAX Deployment Roadmap for Spiral 3] [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/Gec9ClusterEAgenda/110210%20%20GEC9_Roadmap_ClusterE_WiMAX.ppt Slides] [[BR]]
