Testbeds

Within the project EASY-C, two field trial environments will be set up in Dresden and Berlin. The first one has a special focus on the physical layer of wireless communications and will finally span 10 sites with a total of 28 cells located in downtown Dresden.

In order to enable joint multi-cell signal processing, the sites are connected to each other through Motorola PTP 600 microwave links. In our measurement campaigns, we will be able to place a maximum of about 15 terminal prototypes and interference generators into the testbed. In the proximity of the Ernst-Reuter-Platz in Berlin, a smaller testbed is being established with 3 sites and a total of 6 cells, where the focus is more on testing applications that are enabled or improved through multi-cell joint signal processing. Here, the sites are connected through both fibre-optic cables and laser-links (Demo Video).
