= Open Virtualized WiMAX Base Station Node for GENI Wide-Area Wireless Deployments (GENI WiMAX)= [[TOC(/GENI4G*, depth=2)]] This web site is a portal for [http://www.geni.net/ GENI project] that addresses the challenges of integration and trial deployment of a commercial Mobile [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX WiMAX] radio as part of an open virtualized experimental framework. The project leverages a commercial 802.16e base stations from [http://www.nec.com NEC] and [http://www.airspan.com/ Airpsan], replacing the standard [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WiMAX WiMAX] controller with an open software implementation that supports virtualization and layer 2/3 programmability. The most prominent features provided by the modified BS control framework include the capability to perform all frame switching using purely layer 2 information, and control mechanisms to provide isolation across slices, which is needed to ensure experiment repeatability.
