Abstract
Wireless communications has been one of the major success stories of engineering, and as a field of research, it's future maybe even brighter than its past. The field will need many breakthroughs to achieve the grand vision of next-generation networks, and hence, it is important to empower thousands of researchers. One of the challenges is how do we empower experiment-based wireless research at a scale and speed not possible today. In this paper, we discuss the challenges faced by the experiment-based wireless research and ongoing efforts to address those challenges. We discuss the RENEW platform as part of the POWDER-RENEW city-scale testbed in Salt Lake City, which is dedicated to the deployment of massive MIMO technology and the tools that are developed for experimentation.
