In this article we report on our effort and experience in designing, deploying, and using our 30-node wireless mesh testbed, the University of California at Santa Barbara (UCSB) MeshNet. Compared to simulation, the construction and utilization of a wireless mesh testbed poses many new challenges. We discuss the challenges with distributed testbed management, nonintrusive and distributed monitoring, and node status visualization. These are vital components in a sustainable wireless mesh testbed, but at the same time nontrivial to design and. realize. As a case study, we present the UCSB MeshNet architecture, including its management, monitoring, and visualization systems. We share our lessons learned from this effort and believe that they are valuable to other researchers who develop experimental wireless mesh networks. 相似文献

Simulation environments are an important tool for the evaluation of new concepts in networking. The study of mobile ad hoc networks depends on understanding protocols from simulations, before these protocols are implemented in a real-world setting. To produce a real-world environment within which an ad hoc network can be formed among a set of nodes, there is a need for the development of realistic, generic and comprehensive mobility, and signal propagation models. In this paper, we propose the design of a mobility and signal propagation model that can be used in simulations to produce realistic network scenarios. Our model allows the placement of obstacles that restrict movement and signal propagation. Movement paths are constructed as Voronoi tessellations with the corner points of these obstacles as Voronoi sites. Our mobility model also introduces a signal propagation model that emulates properties of fading in the presence of obstacles. As a result, we have developed a complete environment in which network protocols can be studied on the basis of numerous performance metrics. Through simulation, we show that the proposed mobility model has a significant impact on network performance, especially when compared with other mobility models. In addition, we also observe that the performance of ad hoc network protocols is effected when different mobility scenarios are utilized. 相似文献

Enterprise wireless local area networks (WLANs) that consist of a high-density of hundreds to thousands of access points (APs)
are being deployed rapidly in corporate offices and university campuses. The primary purpose of these deployments is to satisfy
user demands for high bandwidth, mobility, and reliability. However, our recent study of two such WLANs showed that these
networks are rarely used at their peak capacity, and the majority of their resources are frequently idle. In this paper, we
bring to attention that a large fraction of idle WLAN resources results in significant energy losses. Thousands of WLANs world-wide
collectively compound this problem, while raising serious concerns about the energy losses that will occur in the future.
In response to this compelling problem, we propose the adoption of resource on-demand (RoD) strategies for WLANs. RoD strategies
power on or off WLAN APs dynamically, based on the volume and location of user demand. As a specific solution, we propose
SEAR, a practical and elegant RoD strategy for high-density WLANs. We implement SEAR on two wireless networks to show that SEAR
is easy to integrate in current WLANs, while it ensures no adverse impact on end-user connectivity and performance. In our
experiments, SEAR reduces power consumption to 46%. Using our results we discuss several interesting problems that open future
directions of research in RoD WLANs. 相似文献
