Abstract

Arena is an open-access wireless testing platform based on a grid of antennas mounted on the ceiling of a 2240 square feet office-space environment. Each antenna is connected to programmable software-defined radios enabling sub-6 GHz 5G-and-beyond spectrum research. With 12 computational servers, 24 software defined radios synchronized at the symbol level, and a total of 64 antennas, Arena provides the computational power and the scale to foster new technology development in some of the most crowded spectrum bands, ensuring a reconfigurable, scalable, and repeatable real-time experimental evaluation in a real wireless indoor environment. We demonstrate some of the many possible capabilities of Arena in three cases: MIMO Capabilities, Ad Hoc Network, and Cognitive Radio Network.
