= WiMAX Tutorial =

This is a continuation of the [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/WiMAX_Tutorial-1/ WiMAX Tutorial and Primer].

== Prerequisites == 

This tutorial series assumes you have an [http://www.orbit-lab.org/userManagement/register ORBIT account], have [https://www.orbit-lab.org/schedule/ scheduled a session] on the ORBIT test bed, are familiar with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell SSH]'ing [http://www.orbit-lab.org/wiki/Tutorial/HelloWorld#a4.RunningtheHelloWorldexperiment into the test bed itself, and are familiar with the basics of running ORBIT experiments]. If you have not done these things yet, you may wish to do so before taking a look at this slightly more advanced experiment. If you are unfamiliar with or are entirely new to ORBIT, you may wish to start [http://www.orbit-lab.org/ here].


== Difficulty ==

This tutorial is of intermediate difficulty. In addition to the knowledge from the previous tutorial, basic fluency with the [http://mytestbed.net/projects/omf/wiki/OEDL-5-3 ORBIT Experiment Description Language] (OEDL) and its source language, [http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/ Ruby] (and especially [http://rubylearning.com/satishtalim/ruby_blocks.html blocks] within Ruby), are '''strongly''' recommended.

== Background ==

This tutorial section is adapted from the tutorials at [http://witestlab.poly.edu/index.php/tutorials.html NYU-Polytech] and expanded from the more concise [http://wimax.orbit-lab.org/wiki/WiMAX/30/07#a18.GEC13:TutorialsfromPolyNYU ORBIT adaptations] done previously. As before, we will perform our experiment on Sandbox 4, providing some background information at each step. For more information, see the relevant documentation for each step at one of the source websites.
