毫米波（mmWave）通信有可能大幅提高5G及更高级别无线网络的吞吐量。然而，较高频率典型的具有挑战性的传播条件需要昂贵的基站致密化以保证可靠的无线电接入网络（RAN）。集成接入和回程（IAB）是一种无线接入和回程使用相同波形、频谱和协议栈的解决方案，已被提出并标准化为降低这些成本的高效手段。虽然IAB被认为是高频RAN的关键推动因素，但由于缺乏可访问的测试平台，这方面的实验研究受到阻碍。在本演示中，我们展示了IABEST，这是一个基于开源软件并与现成硬件兼容的大规模端到端IAB测试平台。我们展示了如何在斗兽场，一个公开的大规模通道模拟器上大规模部署IABEST功能。最后，我们展示了IABEST如何支持研究人员从最高层次的网络抽象到调度决策的数据收集和算法测试。
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communications have the potential to dramatically increase the throughput of 5G-and-beyond wireless networks. However, the challenging propagation conditions typical of higher frequencies require expensive base station densification to guarantee reliable Radio Access Networks (RANs). Integrated Access and Backhaul (IAB), a solution where wireless access and backhaul use the same waveform, spectrum, and protocol stack, has been proposed and standardized as a highly effective means of decreasing these costs. While IAB is considered a key enabler for high-frequency RANs, experimental research in this context is hampered by the lack of accessible testing platforms. In this demonstration, we showcase IABEST, a large-scale end-to-end IAB testbed based on open-source software and compatible with off-the-shelf hardware. We show how to deploy IABEST capabilities at scale on Colosseum, a publicly available massive channel emulator. Finally, we show how IABEST can support researchers in data collection and algorithm testing from the highest levels of network abstraction down to scheduling decisions.
