Are these measurements repeatable?

In this paper, the issue of repeatability in wireless experiments in the Open Access Research Testbed for Next-Generation Wireless Networks (ORBIT) testbed is addressed and a mechanism to promote reproducible experiments using periodic calibration of the equipment is proposed.
