AERPAW Fixed Node Availability and Status

AERPAW testbed experiments are designed to be executed in batch mode. In particular, experiments are first developed by the experimenters in the emulation environment. Subsequently, AERPAW operators take over the developed software, and schedule it for execution at the testbed. Experimenters will hence not have real-time access to the AERPAW testbed links and experiment status.

Below we provide semi-static information related to the status of AERPAW Phase-1 fixed node resources. In addition to fixed nodes, AERPAW also has three vehicles and three portable nodes that are available for testbed experiments and can interact with the fixed nodes, as described here. During Phase-2, AERPAW team will work on providing frequent measurement results for links between fixed nodes and/or portable nodes for providing representative information on link status.

Spectrum Measurements

On June 26, 2021, the AERPAW team collected spectrum measurements at AERPAW CC1 fixed node using the spectrum compliance monitoring USRP at CC1. Based on those measurements, below we provide the minimum and maximum value of the received power measurements between 100 MHz - 6 GHz, and then zoom into portions of that spectrum for further analysis. We also provide two tables based on FCC spectrum allocations, which list the major cellular and non-cellular frequency bands within 100 MHz - 3 GHz. More frequent spectrum measurements will be integrated to AERPAW's Phase-2.
