The ORBIT open access testbed for next-generation wireless networking at Rutgers was developed to address the challenge of supporting realistic and reproducible wireless networking experiments at scale. The 400-node ORBIT radio grid was released as a community resource in 2005, and can be accessed by researchers via an Internet portal (www.orbit-lab.org) which provides a variety of services to assist users with experiment setup, control and measurement. This project is aimed at a major hardware upgrade of the computing equipment and measurement instruments which make up the ORBIT testbed. Specific equipment items being upgraded are:- All 400 ORBIT radio nodes which serve as the primary computing platform for experimenters.- Computing/storage servers and switching equipment in the ORBIT backend cluster.- RF measurement instruments for spectrum monitoring on the radio grid.This project also includes resources for ongoing maintenance and software support necessary for continued 24/7 operation of the ORBIT facility as a community resource. The proposed equipment upgrade will prepare ORBIT for anticipated higher performance experiments on emerging wireless technologies and network architectures. Specific areas of experimental research that will be enabled by the upgraded ORBIT testbed include dynamic spectrum access, cognitive networking, wireless security, delay-tolerant routing protocols and network virtualization. As an open community facility, ORBIT helps lower the barrier for experimentation on wireless networks, thus improving teaching and research productivity in the field. The testbed currently serves as an important platform for wireless aspects of future Internet architecture research in the NSF computer science and engineering communities.

在Rutgers开发了下一代无线网络的轨道开放访问测试床，以应对支持现实和可重复的无线网络实验的挑战。 400个节点轨道无线电网格于2005年作为社区资源发布，研究人员可以通过Internet门户（www.orbit-lab.org）访问，该门户提供了各种服务，以帮助用户进行实验设置，控制和测量。 该项目针对的是构成轨道测试台的计算设备和测量仪器的主要硬件升级。 要升级的特定设备项目是： - 所有400个轨道无线电节点，它们是实验人员的主要计算平台。-计算/存储服务器和轨道后端群集中的计算服务器和开关设备。-RF测量工具进行频谱监视的频谱监视。在无线电电网上，该项目还包括用于继续进行的维护和软件的资源，用于继续使用24/7/7/7/7/7/7/7/7/7/7的操作。 拟议的设备升级将为有关新兴无线技术和网络体系结构的预期高性能实验准备轨道。 升级的轨道测试台将启用实验研究的特定领域包括动态频谱访问，认知网络，无线安全性，耐延迟的路由协议和网络虚拟化。 作为开放的社区设施，轨道有助于降低无线网络实验的障碍，从而提高该领域的教学和研究生产力。 目前，测试台是NSF计算机科学和工程社区未来互联网体系结构研究的无线方面的重要平台。
