KANSEI TESTBED

1
KANSEI TESTBED

• OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY

2
HETEREGENOUS TESTBED

• Multiple communication networks, computation
  platforms, multi-modal sensors/actuators, and
  both static and mobile nodes on 5800 sqft
  dedicated warehouse space.
• Reconfigurable Topology 2-10 ft separation
• 210 XSM, Mica2, Stargate, TELOS Nodes
• Ethernet, Chipcon (433MHz), 802.11b, 802.15.4

3
HIGH FIDELITY EXPERIMENTS

• High-fidelity experimentation at large scale
• Enable accurate representation of deployment
  criteria (radio interference, environmental
  sensory input).
• Fidelity via execution on indoor physical array
  injection of outdoor environment data collected
  on portable array
• Scale via simulation and virtual context
  maintenance of large numbers of nodes.
• Scalable fidelity via synchronization of
  simulated and real components, and tiling
  simulated node regions over physical array.

4
EXPERIMENT INSTRUMENTATION

• Support for experiment instrumentation for
  network state information collection. Library of
  software components and utilities for logging,
  exfiltration and visualization
• Enable repeatable, time-effective experimentation
  through remote (web- and through- services)
  observation, visualization, debugging and health
  monitoring of applications and testbed
  components, and reuse of software components and
  utilities
• Evolvable, reconfigurable, extensible, modular
  physical and network architecture

5
REMOTE EXPERIMENTATION

• Experiment scheduling through Web interface.
  Independent scheduling of Stargate, XSM and MICA
  2 jobs and job groups. Automated Logging and
  Storage of user data

6
802.11 Network

• Attenuators, omni-directional antennas and TX
  power control enable testing of large multi-hop
  as well as dense networks in scale with realistic
  multi-user interference.

7
COMING SOON

• 802.15.4-enabled TELOS motes
• Integrated visualization and monitoring
  w/visualizers and overhead camera
• Transparent mobility plane and robots
• Library of software components and utilities for
  logging, exfiltration and visualization
• Integration of TOSSIM-based hybrid simulator
  (from Kent State University)
• Development of portable sensor array with
  satellite uplink
