a b s t r a c tThis paper illustrates a Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP)-based real-time testbed that is able to evaluate different spectrum management solutions that exploit the Cognitive Radio (CR) paradigm. The main objective of this testbed is to provide an accurate and realistic platform by which the performance of innovative spectrum management solutions for a wide set of scenarios and use cases in the context of Opportunistic Networks (ONs) and Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) can be entirely validated and assessed before their implementation in real systems. Real-time platforms are essential to carry out significant studies and to accurately assess the performance of innovative solutions before their implementation in the real world. This work provides a comprehensive description of the testbed, highlighting many interesting implementation details and illustrating its applicability for different studies that rely on the CR paradigm. Then, a particular application in a realistic Digital Home (DH) scenario is also illustrated, which allows demonstrating the effectiveness of the real-time testbed and assessing its practicality in terms of user-perceived end-to-end Quality of Experience (QoE) in a realistic environment.

“…In the first case a representative enduser home scenario is carefully reproduced in a lab or in a sample house in order to mimic a typical user house type in terms of surface and walls, network topologies, and to reproduce several basic user cases and interactions. Examples of the most successful indoor wireless testbeds used for this scope are Emulab, Orbit and MiNT fixed testbeds [3] [7][8].…”

Because of the recent advances in wireless technologies and, consequently the fast growing number of wireless devices that are being deployed in consumer houses, there is a growing demand from manufacturers to develop and deploy tools able to diagnose problems and evaluate the performance of their products prior to releasing them to the market. Such testing tools are required to be quickly deployable in real-life home environments and should support various wireless technologies and use cases. In order to avoid future product service failures and costly complex troubleshooting, the results should offer a full understanding of the product behavior on the field. Different approaches able to fulfill these objectives have been proposed in literature. In this paper, we propose a new portable and highly flexible testbed tool to evaluate the performance of wireless devices in consumer houses. Furthermore we demonstrate the feasibility and operation of the testbed in two real-life home environments for assessing the impact of range extenders on wireless communication performance.

In the field of large-scale distributed systems, experimentation is particularly difficult. The studied systems are complex, often nondeterministic and unreliable, software is plagued with bugs, whereas the experiment workflows are unclear and hard to reproduce. These obstacles led many independent researchers to design tools to control their experiments, boost productivity and improve quality of scientific results.Despite much research in the domain of distributed systems experiment management, the current fragmentation of efforts asks for a general analysis. We therefore propose to build a framework to uncover missing functionality of these tools, enable meaningful comparisons between them and find recommendations for future improvements and research.The contribution in this paper is twofold. First, we provide an extensive list of features offered by general-purpose experiment management tools dedicated to distributed systems research on real platforms. We then use it to assess existing solutions and compare them, outlining possible future paths for improvements.
