Mobile PAAM OFDM

Description

In this tutorial, we demonstrate an OFDM link with two mobile PAAMs, each consisting of an ​IBM 28 GHz phased array antenna modules (PAAMs) and a USRP-2974 SDR. When not in use outdoors, mobile PAAMs are accessible in ​sb1. This tutorial is based on the following demo in Mobi Com 2024.

Prerequisites

In order to access a COSMOS sandbox, create a reservation and have it approved by the reservation service. Access to the resources is granted after the reservation is confirmed. Please follow the process shown on the COSMOS getting ​started page to get started.

Resources Required

Two mobile PAAMs.

Tutorial Setup

Follow the steps below to gain access to the sandbox console and set up nodes with appropriate images.

  1. If you don't have one already, sign up for a ​COSMOS account
  2. Create a resource reservation on COSMOS SB1
  3. Login to sandbox console (console.sb1.cosmos-lab.org) with four SSH sessions. (One session for array control, one session for GNURadio for each mobile PAAM)
  4. Make sure all the nodes and devices used in the experiment are turned off. 
    omf tell -a offh -t mob4-1,mob4-2
  5. Use the mob-paam-ofdm-tutorial.ndz node image with Ubuntu 20.04, UHD 4.1, gnuradio 3.9, and a grc example used in this tutorial. Load mob-paam-ofdm-tutorial.ndz onto each mobile PAAM. Run each command in a separate session so they run in parallel. 
    omf load -i mob-paam-ofdm-tutorial.ndz -t mob4-1

    omf load -i mob-paam-ofdm-tutorial.ndz -t mob4-2
  6. Turn all the required resources on and check the status of all the resources. 
    omf tell -a on -t mob4-1,mob4-2

    omf stat -t all
  7. ssh to each mobile PAAM with option -Y for using GUI with gnuradio. In the other two sessions, the -Y can be omitted. 
    ssh -Y root@mob4-1

    ssh -Y root@mob4-2

At this point, you should have 4 sessions open. 2 ssh sessions connected to mob4-1 and 2 connected to mob4-2. At least one session for each must be initialized with -Y to enable the GNURadio GUI.
