Title: Programmable Optical x-Haul Network in the COSMOS Testbed
The Cloud-Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment (COSMOS) platform is a programmable city-scale shared multi-user advanced wireless testbed that is being deployed in West Harlem of New York City [1]. To keep pace with the significantly increased wireless link bandwidth and to effectively integrate the emerging C-RANs, COSMOS is designed to incorporate a fast programmable core network for providing connections across different computing layers. A key feature of COSMOS is its dark fiber based optical x-haul network that enables both highly flexible, user defined network topologies and experimentation directly in the optical physical layer. The optical architecture of COSMOS was presented in [2]. In this abstract, we present the tools and services designed to configure and monitor the performance of optical paths and topologies of the COSMOS testbed. In particular, we present the SDN framework that allows testbed users to implement experiments with application-driven control of optical and data networking functionalities.  more » « less

    ABSTRACT The Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment (COSMOS) platform is a programmable city-scale shared multiuser advanced wireless testbed that is being deployed in New York City [1]. Open APIs and programmability across all the technology components and protocol layers in COSMOS will enable researchers to explore 5G technologies in a real world environment. A key feature of COSMOS is its dark fiber based optical x-haul network that enables both highly flexible, user defined network topologies as well as experimentation directly in the optical physical layer. A paper on the COSMOS optical architecture was previously presented in [2]. In this talk, we briefly introduce COSMOS’ optical x-haul network with SDN control, and its integration with the software-defined radio (SDR) and mobile edge cloud.

    This paper focuses on COSMOS ś Cloud enhanced Open Software defined MObile wireless testbed for city-Scale deployment. The COSMOS testbed is being deployed in West Harlem (New York City) as part of the NSF Platforms for Advanced Wireless Research (PAWR) program. It will enable researchers to explore the technology łsweet spotž of ultra-high bandwidth and ultra-low latency in the most demanding real-world environment. We describe the testbed’s architecture, the design and deployment challenges, and the experience gained during the design and pilot deployment. Specifically, we describe COSMOS’ computing and network architectures, the critical building blocks, and its programmability at different layers. The building blocks include software-defined radios, 28 GHz millimeter-wave phased array modules, optical transport network, core and edge cloud, and control and management software. We describe COSMOS’ deployment phases in a dense urban environment, the research areas that could be studied in the testbed, and specific example experiments. Finally, we discuss our experience with using COSMOS as an educational tool.
