ABSTRACT

Mobile Ad-Hoc Network (MANET) has become an increasingly active research area with a plethora of work in ad-hoc routing, media access, and protocols, etc. However, much of the effort so far has been in simulation with only a few systems that have ever been implemented and none that we know have been tried in a scale beyond a dozen nodes. One reason is the high complexity involved in implementing and testing actual ad-hoc networks, and the lack of software tools for doing so. We have thus built an inexpensive and flexible environment to support such tasks and to facilitate network research. The core component is a mobility emulator to test an ad-hoc network of virtually any scale and with any mobility scenario without actually moving the nodes physically.
