3. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation3June 27, 2011 Current Status License – Done Wimax Station Installation – Done –Moving the Station to the Hill side of Campus (Planned) GPS Setup (In On Hold) –We will install it on the hill installation Wimax Performance – In progress –Coverage (In progress ) Signal Strength SNR (preliminary Done) Signal Quality (preliminary done)

4. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation4June 27, 2011 Current Coverage and CNIR GPS Issues under investigation, hopefully solved with new GPS. Quality is reported from the Intel 52xx card. Trial with new card are in progress. The AWB U210 WiMAX Dongle on Windows so far is performing better than others.

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation5June 27, 2011 Current Status –Preliminary Performance (In progress) Throughput (Results by end of June) Dual Mode Vehicular node (In progress) –Prototype Demonstrated at GEC10, measurements are in progress Integration with OMF (In Progres). –Extended OMF wimax_gps_oml2 project from http://wimax.orbit- lab.org/wiki/WiMAX/30/02#WimaxMeasurementApplication:wimax _gps_oml2 to measure round trip time (with ping), and up/down bandwidth measurements, of course you also need to run the application on another server to do the bandwidth measurements so it is a little more difficult to run.http://wimax.orbit- lab.org/wiki/WiMAX/30/02#WimaxMeasurementApplication:wimax _gps_oml2 –WIMAX API to allow the use of high level scripting languages such as LUA thus simplifying the connection/disconnection management. –We plan to make it available in a week as debug is still in progress. How to proceed?

Sponsored by the National Science Foundation6June 27, 2011 Experimenter Outreach Experiment with Network Coding on WiMax/WiFi/Satellite –In collaboration with Mauriel Medard Group @MIT –Meeting held at UCLA mid June, Experiments planned for 1 st week of August. –Need to fine-tune Wimax Station for them. –Results expected for Fall shooting for a top tier conference.

7. Sponsored by the National Science Foundation7June 27, 2011 Considerations Software to assess your coverage on map: –Radio Mobile for Windows (http://www.cplus.org/rmw/english1.html ) HANDSET –The EU EVO is not WiMax enabled they call it 4G but is LTE Rel8 and rel 9. –Samsung come out with the Nexus S, we may need to find a way to get them from Google or to get them from Korea/China. I’m exploring the path to HTC with Mauro Sentinelli the Vice chairman of GSM Forum.
