We present the RapidMesh toolkit for rapid protocol simulation, implementation and experimentation of wireless mesh networks. RapidMesh utilizes declarative networking, a declarative, database-inspired extensible infrastructure that uses query languages ...

In non-static multi-radio/multi-channel wireless mesh networks architectures such as Net-X, mesh nodes need to switch channels in order to communicate with different neighbors. Present channel schedulers do not consider the requirements of real time ...

We address the joint problem of traffic routing and mobility support in wireless mesh networks that are built by many fixed nodes and few mobile nodes. We focus on a vehicular setting, where buses or streetcars connect to different fixed mesh nodes as ...

In this paper we present Topology and Link Quality Assessment Protocol (TLQAP), which we have implemented as a wireless testbed management framework component, that is used to inspect link quality between wireless testbed nodes and appropriately map ...

With an expected market value of 2.71 billion in 2016, supporting daily use of real-time location systems in households and commercial buildings is an increasingly important subject of study. A growing problem in providing robust indoor location ...

Rate adaptation algorithms are critical to improving the throughput performance of WLANs. While previous studies have examined the performance of different algorithms in some detail using numerous measurements and simulations, there is a lack of a ...

Repeatable experiments to study the performance or behavior of wireless mobile adhoc network (MANET) systems such as a delay (or disruption) tolerant network (DTN) are challenging tasks. One approach to do this is to build a realistic mobile testbed, on ...

We have built and deployed OpenRoads [11], a testbed that allows multiple network experiments to be conducted concurrently in a production network. For example, multiple routing protocols, mobility managers and network access controllers can run ...

Recently commercial mobile phones have been shipped with integrated Wi-Fi NIC (Network Interface Card), while a fundamental barrier for easily using such Wi-Fi is its high energy cost for phone. We profile two integrated mobile phone Wi-Fi NICs and ...

Wireless networks have become an effective solution for remote surveillance and data gathering without an existing communication infrastructure. The poster presents a system for monitoring the high-voltage transmission lines. This system implemented a ...

We present a software framework for channel assingment and routing experiments in multi-channel/multi-radio wireless mesh networks. Based on a plug-in architecture we develop a traffic demand-aware channel assignment algorithm. The evaluation in KAUMesh ...

This paper aims at improving the throughput and fairness of the wireless sensor networks (WSN). Due to the disproportionate larger number of packets accumulated in the sensors that are closer to the base station, it's necessary to have a better ...

The gradually growing need for testbed use so as networking algorithms to be validated in real environments, has given rise to optimal utilization of testbed resources. Despite the fact that, many laboratories around the globe have deployed testbeds, so ...

In this demo we present software extension for the Wireless open Access Research Platform (WARP), named as Linux Enriched WARP (LE-WARP). The objective of the LE-WARP is twofold. First, to make the WARP more independent from external systems, e.g., need ...

Sectorized antennas provide an attractive solution to increase wireless network capacity through interference mitigation. Despite their increasing popularity, the real-world performance characteristics of such antennas in dense wireless mesh networks ...

We propose the demonstration of the RapidMesh development toolkit for rapid protocol simulation, implementation and experimentation in wireless mesh networks. RapidMesh utilizes declarative networking, a database-inspired extensible infrastructure that ...

Optimal utilization of radio resources (bandwidth, transmit power) in multicarrier based systems becomes very challenging due to coexistence of various wireless standards within the same frequency band. Proposed demonstration, implemented in GNU Radio ...

Wireless peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have been widely studied in recent years. Testing and evaluating wireless P2P network protocols are challenging tasks because they require a powerful and flexible hardware platform and supervision interface. In this ...

We intend to demonstrate our strategy Friendly Clustering which was designed and implemented for the MANIAC Challenge. The MANIAC Challenge is a competition to develop cooperation strategies for mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). MANETs usually comprise ...

Moving from the innovative principles of the Platform Based Design (PBD) approach for the design of networked embedded systems, the demonstration proposal focuses on presenting the capabilities of a wireless biometric badge, which integrates a ...

In this paper, we present an integrated framework called NetTopo for providing both simulation and visualization functions to assist the investigation of algorithms in WSNs. NetTopo provides a common virtual WSN for the purpose of interaction between ...
