The GENI WiMAX project currently utilizes commercial NEC WiMAX equipment as the basis of its WiMAX campus deployment kit, including a Profile A Base Station and a separate ASN Gateway, joined by the R6 interface, per Figure 6-2, above. The R6 interface implementation is not fully standardized, and thus includes NEC-specific functions. For the GENI WiMAX project, the WiMAX campus deployment kit provides the GENI Researcher with much flexibility: The use of a Profile A Base Station with an exposed R6 interface enables the researcher to monitor and control the base station radio functions. [[BR]] The ASN gateway utilizes some essential NEC code, but removes many high-level WiMAX functions (e.g., roaming) and allows the researcher to implement their own.[[BR]] Finally, the ASN gateway includes slicing functions, to allow the base station and ASN gateway to be shared by multiple researchers at the same time.[[BR]] Later in 2010, NEC will be updating their WiMAX equipment to utilize a Profile C Base Station, where some of the current ASN gateway functions are included in the Base station, and fully standardized R6 interface is exposed. When this occurs: The current GENI-specific ASN gateway software will have to be modified, with an effort of at leat 2 MM. [[BR]] The researcher will have diminished ability to monitor and control the base station radio functions. [[BR]] == 5.
