[[PageOutline]] = 2. GENI WiMAX Base Station Configuration = == 2.1 Case 1: Start with Simple Authorization Manager (SAM) == Fig 2-1) Case 1 WiMAX Base Station Configuration [[BR]] [[Image(WiMAX/00:fig 2-1 121010_ WiMAXSystemOverview.jpg, 100%)]] 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 == Fig 2-2) Case 2 WiMAX Base Station Configuration [[BR]] [[Image(WiMAX/00:fig 2-2 121010_ WiMAXSystemOverview.jpg, 100%)]] * 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 == Fig 2-3) Case 3 WiMAX Base Station Configuration [[BR]] [[Image(WiMAX/00:fig 2-3 121010_ WiMAXSystemOverview.jpg, 100%)]] * 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.
