WiMAX at the University of Wisconsin-Madison
A Programmable Facility for Experimentation with Wireless
Heterogeneity and Wide-area Mobility
• Mobility• Limitations• Possible Solutions• WiRover• GENI
Overview
• Mobility a necessityoMultiple technologies to help outoMaybe work with 3GoMost work with Wi-Fi
Mobility
3G & WiFi
• 3G Cellular coverageo Inconsistento Low throughput
• Wi-Fio Low coverage area oHigh throughput
• WiMAXoHigh coverage areaoHigh throughput
GENI WiMAX
• SolutionoUtilize all available
technologies
• Multi interfaceo Cellular, WiMAX, and Wi-Fi
• Main controlleroData collection mechanismo Ensures persistent data
connectiono Provides bandwidth
aggregation• Gateway acts as Wi-Fi AP
WiRover
• Increase in new users• Positive feedback from
users• Highlighted in
newspapers• Working with EMS for
system in ambulances
WiRover Reception
• 1st Place in 2011Wisconsin Governor’s Business Plan Contest
GENI Capabilities
• WiMAXo Live demo WiRover box with Intel 6250 (WiMAX)oOMF / OML server running for experimentationo Stationary node setup at UW Madisono Experimentation on a mobile platform that has many real
usersoHigh speed internet to mobile devices capable of running
OMF experiments• In the near future
o Connection to OpenFlow and GENI backboneoHandoff experiments between base stationso 3 additional base stations
