Prototype of UPC CN-A mesh network

Here you can find the procedure followed to deploy the network and the problems faced. Deployment

Project log

Summary:

Check currently deployed nodes
- Design, deployment and service deployment of the network UPC CN-A.
- Monitoring and automation of the most common tasks that are necessary to control and mantain the system.
- Add some new functionalities to the system in order to improve its correct operation
- Abstraction of the tools owing to be able to use them in any kind of network -not just in UPC CN-A-.
Check and validate the correct behaviour of the network with some small experiments -and to find problems/malfunctions-.
Application of a real and large scale experiment in order to validate the network behaviour -BattleMesh/Esther's experiment/others-.

Work done

Deployed 21 nodes as the UPC CN-A mesh network prototype in the A5 and A6 buildings.
Development of the firmware of the nodes in order to be able to work with the experiments.
Using Libremap to geolocate the nodes position.
- Preconfigured coordinates in Libremap are currently randomized near the C6 building. They might be changed manually in Configuration file). They are able to be set in the wibed configuration webpage (user friendly).
Little tutorial to de-brick your node here

To be done

Find a date to deploy 4 nodes in the A5 and A6 mezzanines (in the dropped ceiling)
Design of the network -online map?-.
Deployment of the network in the classrooms.
Testing of the correct mesh network behaviour.
Monitoring of the mesh status.
Automation of most common maintenance tasks.
Add new functionalities (?).
Wibed experiment testing (predefined easy tasks).
Wibed largscale experiment testing (ie. BattleMesh or Esther's experiment).
