    867  * Layer 2 handoff
    868   * Minimal:  Mobile node breaks its connection with current WiMAX BS and then establishes connection with the new WiMAX BS  [[BR]]
    869   * Better:  Mobile node needs two interfaces, in the simplest form, one interface always connects to BS1 while the other connects to BS2  [[BR]]
    870   * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort  [[BR]]
    871 
    872  * Layer 3 handoff
    873   * Minimal:  Controller node re-routes through new BS after IP address re-write, BUT does not allow initiation of incoming connection
    874   [[BR]]
    875   * 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]]
    876   * Need: suggested configurations, estimates of required software and level of effort  [[BR]]
    877 
    878  * Suggested steps:    [[BR]]
    879   1) Yellow mobile nodeode with two interfaces, doing handover between two BS on the same subnet [[BR]]
    880   2) Transparent MobileIP working to implement a baseline Layer 3 handover scheme [[BR]]
    881   3) Support new Layer 3 solutions like Mobility First? [[BR]]
    882   4) Demonstrate heterogeneous network handovers [[BR]]
    883

    971 
    972  
    973 a)  Choice of Airspan to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]]
    974 NEC is not able to provide a WiMAX base station for new GENI WiMAX sites [[BR]]
    975 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]]
    976 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]]
    977 WINLAB has a frim quote from Airspan for their MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, and related items. [[BR]]

    982 
    983 b)  Rutgers will provide a kit including: [[BR]]
    984 Airspan MacroMAXe profile-C WiMAX base station unit, for outside mounting[[BR]]
    985   Choice of frequency:   [[BR]]
    986   (2510 Lo:  2496MHz to 2570MHz)   [[BR]]
    987   (2510 Mid:  2560MHz to 2630MHz)  [[BR]]
    988   (2510 Hi:  2620MHz to 2690MHz)  [[BR]]
    989   (3650: 3650MHz to 3700MHz)]  [[BR]]
    990 
    991 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!
    992 
    993 Sector antenna, with x4 RF jumper cables [[BR]]
    994 2x4 MIMO, supported by base station and antenna [[BR]]
    995 GPS antenna, with surge suppressor and cable [[BR]]
    996 DC power cable, from base station unit (outside) to testbed (inside) [[BR]]
    997 Network management software license, 1 per base station [[BR]]
    998 
    999 
    1000 c)  Campus will need to provide: [[BR]]
    1001 Pole for mounting [[BR]]
    1002 DC power supply (-48v, approx 300W) [[BR]]
    1003 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]]
    1004 Windows server to host network management software [[BR]]
    1005 Linux server to host OMF software [[BR]]
    1006 Ethernet switches, and other network equipment, for access (configuration to be provided) [[BR]]       
    1007 
    1008 d)  Additional kits can be purchased from Airspan [[BR]]
    1009   Price is approximately $15,000. [[BR]]
    1010  
    1011 e)  It is expected that additional base stations kits will be purchased for some (or all) Sol 3 GENI sites in Spiral 5. [[BR]]
    1012   Thus, campus site might be able to add additional sectors, at no cost. [[BR]]
    1013   Planning for next year will be done later this year. [[BR]]
    1014   Consider including additional sectors within your technical plan right away.   [[BR]]
    1015 
    1016 f)  Note:  Airspan indicates that they expect to introduce a new base station unit within the next year. [[BR]]
    1017   Somewhat reduced performance/range. [[BR]]
    1018   Approximately half the cost [[BR]]
    1019 
    1020 g)  Airspan indicates that their sector antenna provides:[[BR]]
    1021   A 90degree pattern, which is consistent with proper coverage over a 120degree sector.[[BR]]
    1022   Four internal elements, to support 2x4 MIMO.[[BR]]
    1023   Airspan can provide provide x4 omni-directional antennas, but the cost is much higher, and the range is signifcantly reduced.[[BR]]
    1024 
    1025 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]]
    1026   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]]
    1027   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]]
    1028   [http://groups.geni.net/geni/attachment/wiki/GEC12WiMaxDeploymentAndExperimentation/CS%20Network%20Configuration%20Setup%20Guide.pdf  MacroMAXe Configuration Guide][[BR]]
    1029 
    1030 i)  Airspan shows that if handover operation is desired, an ASN GW must be provided, plus typically an associated RADIUS (authentication) server.[[BR]]
    1031   In this case, the base station unit operates with IP at the interface.  [[BR]]

    1064   * (1) and (2) run Ubuntu, (3) runs Windows.  [[BR]]
    1065   * 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]]
    1066   * 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]]

    1075 
    1076  * Our testbed nodes are scattered throughout several CS labs and research areas (not part of our group).  [[BR]]
    1077   * 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]]
    1078   * We do have an openflow switch that we plan to deploy somewhere at some point. [[BR]]
