This project will develop a series of lab exercises comprising a senior-level undergraduate or introductory graduate lab course on fundamental design issues of wireless networks and technologies. Over the course of this lab sequence, students will practice designing, implementing and running wireless experiments using the GENI wireless testbed infrastructure. These labs enable student to learn wireless networks protocols and technologies by working with real systems and evaluating wireless schemes in real conditions, instead of relying on the 'protected' environment of software simulations.Through building protocols on a real platform, students will understand the challenges in the design of wireless systems and the approaches and techniques that are used today, and will become familiar with open research issues in the wireless field. They will learn how to resolve realistic issues and how to design algorithms that work in practical situations.The outcome of the project will be a set of materials (including a lab manual, disk images, experiment scripts, software, and slides) that can be used by academic institutions throughout the US, together with the integrated GENI wireless facilities, to supplement traditional courses on wireless networks with a hands-on lab component. All data generated as part of the proposed effort will be electronically disseminated using the portal of the WiTEST Lab in NYU-Poly and on the GENI.net website. Developed software and results of the lab development will be made available in the open-source format and will be free for academic use. Educational materials will be announced on the web site and will be shared with academic colleagues upon request.

本项目将开发一系列实验练习，包括有关无线网络和技术的基本设计问题的高级本科生或入门研究生实验课程。在本实验过程中，学生将练习使用GENI无线试验台基础设施设计、实施和运行无线实验。这些实验使学生能够通过使用真实系统并在真实条件下评估无线方案来学习无线网络协议和技术，而不是依赖于软件模拟的受保护环境。通过在真实平台上构建协议，学生将了解无线系统设计中的挑战以及当今使用的方法和技术，并熟悉无线领域的公开研究问题。他们将学习如何解决现实问题以及如何设计在实际情况下有效的算法。该项目的结果将是一套材料(包括实验室手册、磁盘映像、实验脚本、软件和幻灯片)，可供全美的学术机构使用，以及集成的GENI无线设施，以实践实验室组件补充有关无线网络的传统课程。作为拟议工作的一部分产生的所有数据将使用纽约大学保利分校的WiTEST实验室门户网站和GENI.net网站以电子方式传播。开发的软件和实验室开发的结果将以开放源码格式提供，并将免费供学术使用。教育材料将在网站上公布，并将根据要求与学术同行分享。
