-====== ​Cognitive Radio Cloud (CRC)Enabling a Collaborative ​Environment ​for Wireless ​Communication ​and  ​Networking Research ====== +======CRC: Collaborative ​Research and Teaching Testbed ​for Wireless ​Communications 
- +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 installedPowerful 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/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 universitiesThe 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). ​  
-----+The currently involved universities are: 
 +  ​Alexandria University (USRPs Testbed) 
 +  ​Egypt-Japan University ​of Science ​and Technology (EJUST) (USRPs Testbed) 
 +  - Cairo University (FPGA Testbed) 
 +  Assiut University (IoT Testbed)
