Abstract

The H2020 What to do With the Wi-Fi Wild West (Wi-5) project combines research and innovation to propose a Software Defined Networking (SDN) architecture based on an integrated and coordinated set of smart Wi-Fi networking solutions. The resulting system will be able to efficiently reduce interference between neighbouring Access Points (APs) and provide optimised connectivity for new and emerging services. The project approach is expected to develop and incorporate a variety of different solutions, which will be made available through academic publications, in addition to other dissemination channels. In this document, we will present a description of the testbed to be used in the project and provide a definition of the tests to be done. First, the smart and cooperative solutions provided by the SDN based Wi-5 architecture will be briefly described. Next, we will define and explain the modular approach to be taken to model Wi-5 APs and the Wi-5 controller. According to this approach, we will describe the functionalities of both the Wi-5 AP that is modelled as a combination of the monitoring and network configuration modules, and the Wi-5 controller which is composed of the monitoring, decision, and network configuration modules. Then, we will define and explain the Wi5 integration strategy that will be utilized to integrate the smart and the cooperative functionalities in terms of assembly of the modules utilized to model the Wi-5 AP and the Wi-5 controller. Moreover, we will provide the definition of the performance metrics that will be utilized to evaluate and validate the performance of the monitoring, decision and network configuration modules with the use cases and performance requirements developed in Wi-5. This deliverable will focus on the definition and the explanation of the following two issues:  Integration of the smart and cooperative functionalities provided by the SDN based Wi-5 architecture.  Testing strategy to evaluate the performance of the Wi-5 architecture considering the use cases and requirements that focus on the selected scenarios.
