Naming Convention

Domains

There are currently 3 Domains in COSMOS:

Testbed Domain	Description
bed.cosmos-lab.org	Main deployment in NYC (name is short for testbed)
sb1.cosmos-lab.org	Development sandbox at WINLAB, Rutgers University
sb2.cosmos-lab.org	Forthcoming sandbox at Columbia University

Domains are controlled by the same central services, but cannot be sliced between either RF or networks.

Device Types

Abbreviation	Description
sw	Ethernet switch
opt	Optical switch
rdm	ROADM (reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer)
srv	Experiment dedicated Server
cm	Out-of-band control device interface used by back-end services
sdr	Directly addressable software defined radio (e.g. USRP 2974 or N310)
rfdev	RF device that is separately managed (i.e. not part of the directly addressable SDR)

Outdoor Deployment Site Names

Map locations and GPS coordinates are only approximate and for rough reference only.

Abbreviation	Site	Description	Location	Measurement
co1	core 1	CU CS Building CRF compute	​map
co2	core 2	Datacenter at 32 Avenue of the Americas	​map
lg1	large 1	CU Mudd building 18th floor rooftop	​map	s1-lg1,s2-lg1, s3-lg1
md1	medium 1	CU Mudd building 1st floor (120th Street)	​map	md1
md2	medium 2	CU Mudd building 2nd floor (Amsterdam Ave)	​map	md2
		12th Floor Camera (Amsterdam Ave)	​map
		12th Floor Camera (120th St)	​map

CU = Columbia University

Coverage measurements of the outdoor nodes when transmitting 802.11g WiFi data packets at 2.412 GHz are described here.

Hierarchical naming

Resources are named using the following scheme.

Devices that DO NOT belong to a specific sector of a large site:

{device_type}#-{site_name}#.{domain}.cosmos-lab.org

Devices that are part of a specific sector of a large site:

{device_type}#-{sector}#-{site_name}#.{domain}.cosmos-lab.org

*To recognize the contributions of several Ph.D. students, a postdoc, and the NYC Deputy CTO, some of the COSMOS devices are named after them based on their research interests and area(s) of contributions.
