abstract

This paper provides an overview of the Platform for Open Wireless Data-driven Experimental Research (POWDER). POWDER is a city-scale, remotely accessible, end-to-end software defined platform to support mobile and wireless research. Compared to other mobile and wireless testbeds POWDER provides advances in scale, realism, diversity, flexibility, and access.
