 This experiment runs oml2-iperf on two nodes and collects bandwidth measurements along with the controlled attenuator values. The RSSI seen by the wimax node interface is varied by controlling this attenuator value. At different attenuator values we can measure the down link throughput for the wimax interface.
 
-This experiment script is geared towards nodes on sand box 4 which has nodes with wireless interfaces connected the base station via an rf attenuator matrix. Using this experiment we also measure the throughout at different modulation-coding schemes (MCS) which is set prior to running the experiment script. For detail on changing MCS please refer to http://wimax.orbit-lab.org/wiki/WiMAX/17/13ainfo#BasicSupportServices

 == Hardware utilized ==
 1. ''Sandbox 4 node1-4'': runs oml2-iperf as server. The wimax interface card is used for measurements.[[BR]]
 2. ''Sandbox 4 node1-9'': runs oml2-iperf as client.[[BR]]
-3. ''RF-attenuator matrix'': this used by the script to attenuate the air interface between the wimax base station and node.

+Before the experiment, the BS parameters can be changed. The following are a few examples commands to control the MCS:[[BR]]
+* To get the current MCS:
+{{{
+wget -O status http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/mcsProfile
+}}}
+
+* Change downlink MCS to single profile:
+{{{
+wget -O status http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/mcsProfile?dl=15
+}}}
+
+* Change downlink MCS with profile list:
+{{{
+wget -O status http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/mcsProfile?dl=15,17,18
+}}}
+* Change uplink MCS to single profile:
+{{{
+wget -O status http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/mcsProfile?dl=15
+}}}
+
+* Change uplink MCS with profile list:
+{{{
+wget -O status http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/mcsProfile?dl=15,17,18
+}}}
+
+* After changing MCS the base station may need a restart:
+{{{
+wget http://localhost:5052/wimaxrf/restart
+}}}
+
+For details on changing BS parameters please refer to ''Basic Support Services'' under http://wimax.orbit-lab.org/wiki[[BR]]

+Although the experiment script can vary the attenuator values, the details on manually changing attenuator values can be found in ''RF Matrix Control Services'' under http://wimax.orbit-lab.org/wiki[[BR]]
