Scenarios

Colosseum offers a variety of RF scenarios for different research purposes. These scenarios emulate various real-world environments and wireless conditions to enable repeatable and controlled experiments.

Overview

Colosseum’s scenarios are characterized by:

  • RF ID: Unique identifier for each scenario

  • RF Description: Brief description of the scenario

  • Duration: Length of the scenario in seconds

  • Noise Power BW: Bandwidth over which noise power is calculated

  • Usable BW: Bandwidth available for transmissions

  • Traffic ID: Associated traffic scenario ID (if applicable)

  • Center Frequency: Default center frequency for the scenario

  • Number of Nodes: Maximum number of nodes supported in the scenario

Choosing a Scenario

When selecting a scenario for your experiment, consider:

  • The number of nodes required

  • The wireless technology being tested

  • The environmental characteristics needed (urban, rural, etc.)

  • The desired signal propagation conditions (multipath, fading, etc.)

  • The mobility patterns of nodes (static, mobile, specific routes)
