Wireless Implementation Testbed Laboratory

Welcome to the Wireless Implementation Testbed Laboratory of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Polytechnic University. Witest lab is strongly supported by the Center for Advanced Technologies in Telecommunications (CATT) and the Wireless Internet Center for Advanced Technology (WICAT), two research centers at Polytechnic University. The research of the lab focuses on the design, study and implementation of wireless protocols and their performance in the real environment. Therefore, to conduct research of that nature, we have setup two different wireless testbeds:

1. An Open Source Wireless Drivers Testbed
   
2. An All Software Radio Wireless Testbed based on WARP nodes
   
3. An All Software Radio Wireless Testbed based on GNU Radio nodes
   

Each platform has its own benefits, however it poses certain limitations in the implementation procedure. We implement the wireless protocols that we design using both platforms, in order to find the pros and cons of each approach. By running extensive experiments, we study the performance of the implemented schemes. We get valuable feedback on several design issues by observing the behavior of the protocols in a real environment.

The Research tab (on the left of the page) shows the main research activities of the lab. In the Drivers Testbed, the WARP Testbed and the GNU-Radio Testbed tabs (on the top of the page) you can find the details regarding our work on the testbeds.
