2. GENI WiMAX Base Station Configuration
2.1 Case 1: Start with Simple Authorization Manager (SAM)
Fig 1) WiMAX Base Station Configuration
This is the simplest configuration, and is the configuration implemented by the native Rutgers base station kit. It is characterized by:
- The Simple Authorization Manager (SAM) is used as the control module; it has no API.
- No instance of OMF/OML is required.
- Only a "default service" is provided, that provides all registered Mobile Stations (MSs) with access to one VLAN, that typically provides a DHCP service and allows the MS to access the Internet.
2.2 Case 2: Change to WiMAX RF Agg Mgr
- The WiMAX RF Agg Mgr is used in place of the SAM as the control module; it provides an API to setup the offered service(s), which is used by the Experimenter via OMF/OML.
- An instance of OMF/OML is typically provided.
- Multiple services can be provided, plus a "default service" , where each service provides selected Mobile Stations (MSs) with access to one VLAN; registered MSs that have not been selected are provided with access to one VLAN, that typically provides a DHCP service and allows the MS to access the Internet.
- Each service can be associated with a GENI slice, but there is no support for slice configuration.
2.3 Case 3: Add KVM VMs and VM Agg Mgr
- To upgrade to this case, a server is added and KVM VMs are installed on the server; a VM is typically used to process data for each slice.
- A VM Agg Mgr is added, which is used to setup each slice by configuring the VMs and by utilizing the WiMAX RF Agg Mgr API.
- Each slice can implement one service, and the VM Agg Mgr works to minimize interactions between the services.
