COSMOS:Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment

Deployment Area: West Manhattan/Harlem

• A multi-layered computing system with an RF thin client; flexible signal processing;

network function virtualization (NFV) between a local SDR (with FPGA assist) and a remote cloud radio access network (CRAN) with massive CPU/GPU and FPGA assist

• Deployed in New York City,one of the country’s most populated urban centers,
• Wideband radio signal processing (with bandwidths of ~500 MHz or more)
• Support for mmWave communication (28 and 60 GHz),
• Optical switching technology (~1µs) provides passive WDM switch fabrics and
• radio over fiber interfaces for ultra-low latency connections

28GHz phased-array ICs and phased- array antenna modules (PAAM) COSMOS Radio Site Design All-Optical Network Design

POWDER: Platform for Open Wireless Data-driven Experimental Research RENEW: A Reconfigurable Eco- system for Next-generation End-to-end Wireless

• RENEW Massive MIMO base station
• End-to-End Programmable
• Diverse Spectrum Access 50 MHz-3.8GHz
• Hybrid Edge computer composed of FPGA and

GPU/CPU-based processing,

• Hub Board aggregates/distributes streams of radio

samples

• Next Generation Wireless Architecture
• Dynamic Spectrum Sharing
• Distinct environments: a dense urban

downtown and a hilly campus environment. Control Framework with Hardware + Software Building Blocks IRIS software- defined radio modules Architectural view of RENEW base station Deployment Area: UofU Campus +Downtown SLC + Connected Corridor

Sample Sce cenario

I have a really cool idea about a fully autonomous spectrum management application I want to develop a custom radio that has more processing power on the sensing channel; maybe GPP on the radio That is cool. I have a radio that supports that I don’t know about that. Adding multi-core processor might take 12-18 months and cost $XXX,XXX.

Guiding principles

• The Industry contribution is a NEW process for all stakeholders.
• PPO serves as a bridge in connecting Industry teams and the platform

awardees

• PPO serves both the IC and the Proposing team
• IC requires a clear understanding of design goals, product specs and capability

timeline

• Proposing teams requires a clear understanding on product availability (not exact

dates) and feasibility view on proposed capabilities

• PPO needs to understand the % value of the IC contribution against committed value
• f contribution
• Define short term goals (like signing LOI and contracts) and work in

progress items (like lock down requirements, specifications etc) clearly and separately while flagging any linkages

• 1. Initially, triage interactions through PPO
• 2. Introductory webinar presentations with both platforms
• 3. Individual interaction(s) scheduled by PPO
• 4. PPO has a holistic view of platform requirements
• 5. PPO is working on matching requirements to IC members, beginning with NI, Juniper, Nokia, and Keysight

Consortium-Platform interaction points

DOs

• Establish clear goals and deliverables for the IC and Proposing teams
• Establish POCs from both sides for technical discussions
• Enable direct conversations between the 2 teams
• Output from IC to the Proposing team (and PPO):
• Initial output: Feasibility of product availability
• 90 day view: Forecast on product availability and volume guidance
• High level % contributed per platform against the total contribution (accounting mechanism-

tbd)

• Create a tracking framework for IC- Proposing teams to track product delivery and forecast

along with any deltas

• Output from the Proposing team to IC (and PPO):
• Initial output:
• Feasibility analysis materials- Platform design and high level specifications for feasibility

analysis along with product capabilities targeted.

• High level timeline for the product delivery and deployment timeline
• 90 day view:
• Detailed platform design with capabilities
• Bill of Materials (BOM)

DON’T’s

• Product cost is not a discussion topic
• Product availability and volume negotiation only through the PPO

Consortium fulfillment process
