Savannah: Efficient mmWave Baseband Processing with Minimal and Heterogeneous Resources

Description

In this tutorial, we demonstrate Savannah, a framework for efficient mmWave baseband processing with minimal and heterogeneous resources.

  • The instructions for Savannah software can be found here under RENEW license.
  • The COSMOS team contributes to:
    • Adding the UHD support for the Agora software under the UHD license;
    • Updating DSP pipeline (Equalization; Demodulation);
    • Integrating ACC100 BBDEV acceleration for Decoding.

We thank the RENEW team for their support and help throughout the process.

The following papers describes the integration of the IBM 28 GHz PAAMs with Savannah in the COSMOS testbed. We would appreciate it if you cite this paper when publishing results obtained using the PAAMs deployed in COSMOS.

Prerequisites

In order to access COSMOS-SB2, create a reservation in COSMOS testbed 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

  • 2 USRP N310 SDRs (sdr1-s1-lg1 and sdr1-md1 in SB2)
  • 2 IBM 28GHz PAAMs (rfdev2-1 and rfdev2-2 in SB2 )
  • 1 Server (srv1-lg1)

The current hardware connection in SB2 as shown below

  • sdr1-s1-lg1 RF2 TX/RX — rfdev2-1 IC0/TX/H, sdr1-s1-lg1 RF2 RX2 — rfdev2-1 IC1/RX/H
  • sdr1-s1-lg1 RF3 TX/RX — rfdev2-1 IC0/TX/V, sdr1-s1-lg1 RF3 RX2 — rfdev2-1 IC1/RX/V
