== Project Number == 1866 == Project Title == A Federated WiMAX Facility for Vehicular Applications and Metro-Scale Experimentation [[BR]] a.k.a. VEHWIMAX === Technical Contacts === '''PI''': Suman Banerjee, UW-Madison, suman@cs.wisc.edu [[BR]] '''Co-PI''': Dave Eveland, Madison Metro Transit, develand@cityofmadison.com [[BR]] === Participating Organizations === UW-Madison [[BR]] Madison Metro Transit [[BR]] === GPO Liaison System Engineer === '''GPO System Engineer:''' [mailto:hmussman@bbn.com Harry Mussman] == Scope == This project will extend and enhance the existing MadBed outdoor WiMAX network testbed, which is supported by a GENI WiMAX deployment project. It will be extended to a total of four WiMAX base stations (four sectors) by adding one Airspan Profile C base station kit (one sector) provided by Rutgers. The mobility API in the existing Mobility Services Engine will be extended to provide access to all the different WiMAX base stations across multiple sites, and thus facilitate experiments that straddle such sites. Supported mobile stations will include both custom-built multi-interface wireless nodes (called WiRover gateways) mounted on public transit buses in Madison, WI, and programmable WiMAX-capable handsets (e.g., HTC EVO handsets). The enhanced MadBed testbed will facilitate experimentation across a significant metro area, both for vehicular systems and for end users with programmable handsets. === Current Capabilities === BRIEF descriptions of resources/functions/tools that are available to anyone in the GENI community == Milestones == == Spiral 4 == * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.a Demonstration at GEC12 and Experimenter Outreach)]] * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.b Documentation and Code Release)]] * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.c Demonstration at GEC13 and Experimenter Outreach)]] * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.d Documentation and Code Release)]] * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.e Demonstration at GEC14 and Experimenter Outreach)]] * [[MilestoneDate(VEHWIMAX: S4.f Final report and code release)]] == Project Technical Documents == === POST GEC Status Reports === due after each GEC === Annual Project Review Presentation === == Related Projects == [http://URL Project-Name] Includes non-GENI projects.
