- | + | and Networks-Phase II | |
- | The long term goal of this project is to build a Cognitive Radio Cloud (CRC) to enable a collaborative environment for wireless communications research in general, and cognitive radio research in particular, that eases the deployment and testing of protocols at different layers of the protocol stack. The focus of the current phase is to build a wireless testbed that has a scalable and modular architecture with full experimental protocol stack that enable web/remote access to the testbed to facilitate communication and networking research experiments especially for Egyptian researchers and practitioners. During the first phase, multiple SDR platforms connected to wifi-enabled mini-desktops will be installed. Powerful servers will be used to host different front-end and back-end testbed components. Different software and hardware components will be developed and installed to enable the testbed planned features and functionalities. Some components may be implemented using existing open source frameworks/tools/software for potential future integration with other worldwide testbeds. However, several research challenges still need to be addressed including optimal utilization of the testbed resources, non-conflict scheduling of parallel experiments, real-time measurements and control for dynamic experiments, multi-testbed inter-operability, realistic mobility emulation and management, malicious user detection, efficient operating system image swapping and transfer, among others will be investigated in this project. Such a testbed will allow a wide set of applications and will have a huge impact on different sectors of the society, not only in Egypt, but through the region and internationally. | + | |
- | + | The goal of CRC II is to build a number of remotely accessible testbeds distributed among number of Egyptian universities. The implementation of this project aims to allow 24/7 remote access to the available resources at the Egyptian universities for the research and teaching purpose and reduce the cost of purchasing new equipment which is available at other universities. The different testbeds are federated with a unified architecture to allow new sites to integrate with the federated testbed with a fixed steps. The federation allows users from different sites to access other testbeds and allow the sharing of the testbeds' resources. The project duration is 21 months fully supported from National Telecommunication Regulation Authority (NTRA). | |
