1.3 GENI WiMAX Operations

1.3.1 GENI WiMAX Operations Objectives

1) Each GENI WiMAX site must operate in accordance with their FCC Experimental License and/or agreement with Clearwire, to avoid interference with others (particularly Clearwire) operating in the BRS/EBS spectrum.

2) Each GENI WiMAX site must cooperate with others (particularly Clearwire) if interference is suspected, to resolve the issue. This may involve temporarily going off-the-air, to see if they are or are not the source of the observed interference.

3) Each GENI WiMAX site must verify and maintain the accuracy of the information in the tables listed below, and follow the operations procedures listed below. It is essential that each site have a responsive local "Ops" contact, as listed in the table below.

3a) Task: All entries in tables below must be verified by 12/15/12.

4) Each GENI WiMAX site must install the site monitoring software, included in the latest WiMAX RF AggMgr, so that they are automatically forwarding operating paramaters to the OML Server at Rutgers WINLAB, who will then use the data to populate the GENI WiMAX Monitoring site.

4a) Task: Rutgers WINLAB must provide the new latest WiMAX RF AggMgr, that automatically forwards operating parameters to the OML Server at Rutgers WINLAB, by 1/15/13.
4b) Task: All sites must install the new latest WiMAX RF AggMgr, and commence forwarding operating parameters to the OML Server at Rutgers WINLAB, by 2/15/13.

5) Each GENI WiMAX site is expected to make their resources available to GENI experimenters.

1.3.6 GENI WiMAX Site Experimenter Login Interfaces

Several GENI WiMAX sites support interfaces that allow an Experimenter to login, reserve resources, and then conduct experiments utilizing resources available at that site. See the following table for details.

This login approach follows the method supported by the ORBIT testbed, although the exact login process varies as noted.
