+
+ * Layer 2 handoff
+  * Minimal:  Mobile node breaks its connection with current WiMAX BS and then establishes connection with the new WiMAX BS  [[BR]]
+  * Better:  Mobile node needs two interfaces, in the simplest form, one interface always connects to BS1 while the other connects to BS2  [[BR]]
+  * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort  [[BR]]
+
+ * Layer 3 handoff
+  * Minimal:  Controller node re-routes through new BS after IP address re-write, BUT does not allow initiation of incoming connection
+  [[BR]]
+  * Better:  Use open source mobile IP s/w (Transparent Mobile IP [http://sourceforge.net/projects/tmip/ link], and OpenFlow s/w in mobile node to de-encapsulate IP packets  [[BR]]
+  * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort  [[BR]]
+
+ * Suggested steps:    [[BR]]
+  1) Yellow mobile nodeode with two interfaces, doing handover between two BS on the same subnet [[BR]]
+  2) Transparent MobileIP working to implement a baseline Layer 3 handover scheme [[BR]]
+  3) Support new Layer 3 solutions like Mobility First? [[BR]]
+  4) Demonstrate heterogeneous network handovers [[BR]]
+
+What are next steps?   [[BR]]

+=== R3) Airspan Profile-C Base Station, with Associated Hardware and Software ===
+Ivan Seskar (WINLAB) and Harry Mussman (GPO) [[BR]]
+
+ 
+a)  Choice of Airspan to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]]
+NEC is not able to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]]
+WINLAB and the GPO have decided to purchase base stations from Airspan, a commercial company pursuing target customers such as universities and small carriers. [[BR]]
+For example, the Univ of Colorado at Boulder IT Dept has installed an Airspan system with 4 sectors, that covers the campus.  They have been pleased with Airspan. [[BR]]
+WINLAB has a frim quote from Airspan for their MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, and related items. [[BR]]

+
+b)  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]]
+
+NOTE:  WINLAB needs to know frequency choices during November (or early December), so that they can place an order with Airspan for delivery late 2011 or early 2012!
+
+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]]
+
+
+c)  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);  consider copper (may be a problem with lightning surge) or fiber (requires MM fiber cable, and fiber interface on switch) [[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]]        
+
+d)  Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]]
+  Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]]
+ 
+e)  It is expected that additional base stations kits will be purchased for some (or all) Sol 3 GENI sites 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]]
+
+f)  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]]
+
+g)  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]]
+
+h)  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]]
+  [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEC12WiMaxDeploymentAndExperimentation/CS%20Network%20Configuration%20Setup%20Guide.pdf  MacroMAXe Configuration Guide][[BR]]
+
+i)  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.  [[BR]]

+
+ * Coming: replace with new WiMAX RF AggMgr  [[BR]]
+
+
+
+
+
+=== R5) Add OMF/OML to WiMAX sites ===
+Fraida Fund (NYU Poly), Manu Gosain (GPO), Derek Meyer (Wisconsin), [[BR]]
+
+ * Equip a WiMAX site with full OMF/OML capabilities, installing on VMs  [[BR]]
+ * Include Login Service for Remote Users [[BR]]
+
+ * NYU Poly configuration:  [[BR]]
+
+ * 1) physical host acting as base station controller, runs the asn-gw and wimaxrf AM. [[BR]]
+  * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows.  [[BR]]
+  * It has Ethernet connections to the NEC IDU, NYU-Poly network (and Internet), and very soon GENI backbone (campus IS just informed me that they will be testing that tomorrow).  [[BR]]
+  * We have firewall rules set up so this host only accepts traffic from host (2) on the wimaxrf AM port. This allows us to make sure that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS. [[BR]]
+
+ * 2) physical host running OMF 5.3 AM, EC, and some other services that are useful for the testbed. [[BR]]
+  * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows.  [[BR]]
+  * It has Ethernet connections to NYU-Poly network (internet) and OMF control network.  [[BR]]
+  * This is the host that testbed users log on to. We have firewall rules set up on this host so that only users with a current reservation can configure the BS or communicate with the testbed nodes. [[BR]]
+
+ * 3) physical host that serves our group website and the reservation system for the testbed. It's connected to the NYU-Poly network (and Internet)  [[BR]]
+  * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows. [[BR]]
+
+ * Our testbed nodes are scattered throughout several CS labs and research areas (not part of our group).  [[BR]]
+  * They are connected to the pre-existing Ethernet jacks in the walls and floors of those rooms, which all go back to a CS server room, where we patch them through to our own (non-openflow) switch for the control network. [[BR]]
+  * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]]
+
+
+
+
+ * BBN experience  (need summary)  [[BR]]

+
+ * All services are running on the same physical machine. [[BR]]
+  * HP server that came with the base station.  [[BR]]
+  * The base OS is Debian and virtual machines using for the services (Virtualbox)  [[BR]]
+
+ * Physical machine network connections: [[BR]]
+  * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx): University network (internet) [[BR]]
+  * Eth1 (10.3.8.126): Network to IDU of base station [[BR]]
+  * Eth2 (10.0.0.1): Control network for omf [[BR]]
+  * Eth3: Connected to openflow (physically, but not enabled until we can get a vlan tag to GENI backbone) [[BR]]
+
+ * Base operating system:  Debian [[BR]]
+
+ * Virtualbox guests: [[BR]]
+  * 1.  Ubuntu 9.04 ->  aggmgr 5.2 ->  wimaxrf service [[BR]]
+  * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx):  bridged interface to university network [[BR]]
+  * Eth1(10.3.8.254):  bridged interface to base station network [[BR]]
+
+  * 2.  Ubuntu 10.04 ->  aggmgr 5.3 ->  cmcStub, Frisbee, inventory, pxe, result, saveimage [[BR]]
+  * Also expctl, resctl, and xmpp on same machine [[BR]]
+  * Eth0 (128.105.22.xxx): bridged interface to university network [[BR]]
+  * Eth1 (10.0.0.200): bridged interface to control network [[BR]]
+
+
+
+ * Coming:  plan to federate with ProtoGENI cluster  [[BR]]
+  *  Reference: [http://www.tridentcom.org/2012/program  TridentCom 2012]  :  "Federating wired and wireless test facilities through Emulab and OMF: the iLab.t use case", Stefan Bouckaert (IBBT - Ghent University)  [[BR]]
+  *  BBN is exploring how to utilize this to better integrate WiMAX sites into GENI, and be able to utilize the GENI AM API to assgin resources.  [[BR]]
