Cooperate with Clearwire

Manu Gosain (GPO) and Ivan Seskar (WINLAB)

• Current approach, as an alternative to an agreement that leases Clearwire spectrum to GENI sites:
  
  • Operate under an experimental license from the FCC; otherwise require contract between site and Clearwire, with $ and conditions
    
  • Agreement between Rutgers WINLAB and Clearwire, on enhanced cooperation
    
  • Maintain accurate DB of site information and contacts at Rutgers, and share with Clearwire
    
  • Responsive local contact, at each site
    
  • Centralized monitoring server at Rutgers WINLAB
    
  • Ability to quickly turn off site transmitter, if interference suspected
    
  • Possible extension: remote emergency stop, with access to GMOC
    

• ​GENI WiMAX Site Information
  

• ​GENI WiMAX Site Dashboard
  

What are next steps?

• Review information on site information and site dashboard pages, and finalize
  
• Establish process to add site information, then maintain and track
  
• Establish email list for operations issues
  
• Provide operations interface to GMOC and Clearwire
  
• Complete agreement with Clearwire
  
• Encourage all GENI sites to obtain experimental licenses
  
• Include WiMAX into GENI emergency stop process
  
• Consider adding a WiMAX "emergency stop" button, for use by the GMOC
