Advanced and versatile real-time emulation platform for heterogeneous radio access systems

Published: 31 October 2008 Publication History

Abstract

This paper is aimed at showing the capabilities of the real-time testbed for all-IP beyond 3G heterogeneous wireless networks that has been developed in the framework of the European IST ARO-MA project. The main objective of the AROMA testbed is to provide an advanced and realistic framework where the benefits of the algorithms developed within the AROMA project for both the radio access network and core network parts, as well as for the management of the end-to-edge quality of service, can be demonstrated. This advanced and versatile real-time emulation platform has been designed to enable an accurate and precise evaluation of Radio Resource Management/Common Radio Resource Management (RRM/CRRM) strategies and end-to-edge Quality of Service (QoS) management policies as well as specific protocols, services and commercial applications before bringing them to a real system. Its wide applicability and full potential has been extensively treated in previously published works. This paper describes a demonstration that shows a reduced and portable version of the testbed running on laptops to illustrate some of the capabilities of this advanced and powerful real-time emulation platform.
