Please explain the purpose of operation: |
Testing the operation of a multi-point indoor radio experimental network (CORNET).
CORNET is an open cognitive radio network testbed provides the infrastructure for researchers at Virginia Tech and partner institutions to evaluate independently developed cognitive radio engines, sensing techniques, applications, protocols, performance metrics, and algorithms in a real world wireless environment, in contrast to a computer simulation or single node-to-single node environment. The testbed will consist of 48 nodes mounted on the ceiling and distributed amongst 4 floors. This real world environment gives researchers, whose local resources may not allow for larger scale practical hardware testing, a platform to test their work in a real wireless network environment. |
