  1. Designing Open Wireless Testbed for New Generation Network Research Kiyohide NAKAUCHI Nozomu NISHINAGA NICT, Japan {nakauchi, nisinaga}@nict.go.jp Future Internet Testbed Workshop APAN 29th, Sydney, Australia Feb. 11, 2010

  2. Background and Motivation • Recent global trends of clean-slate future network research • Corresponding testbed projects such as GENI, FIRE, … • Motivated by their impressive testbed designs • Integrated control framework over optical, wireless, virtualization,… • Tight coupling with prototyping and experimentally-driven research • Also motivated by the necessity of open wireless testbed in Japan • Work as a wireless part of JGN-X Goal #1: Identify the fundamental requirements for wireless testbed Goal #2: Basic design of highly programmable open wireless testbed FIT Workshop, APAN 29th, K.Nakauchi

  3. Fundamental Requirements Diverse and novel network architecture and its prototype should be easily introduced, deployed, and evaluated on the testbed • (1) Programmability:providing each layer’s functions w/ native andcustom forms • Plug-in/add-on of cutting-edge technology • Sustainability of testbed itself • (2) Virtualization: isolation among concurrent and competing experiments/services • Accommodate w/ diverse protocols • Efficient use of physical facilityresources • (3) User opt-in:real traffic and open innovations Questions ? • Enough for wireless testbeds? • Can be satisfied in wireless context? FIT Workshop, APAN 29th, K.Nakauchi

  4. Outline • Identifying requirements for open wireless testbeds • Basic design • Conclusion and future plan FIT Workshop, APAN 29th, K.Nakauchi

  5. Our approach • Top-down requirements • Exhaustive survey on use cases • Application specific • Fundamentalrequirements • Programmability • Virtualization • User opt-in Comprehensive design with highest-common factor • Discussed by the joint team (networking, wireless, testbed operation) • What form of wireless testbed is essential? • Dilemma: No one-fit-all design for diverse wireless experiments • How should wireless specific features be handled? • Locality, interferences, diversity of wireless standards,… FIT Workshop, APAN 29th, K.Nakauchi
