Evaluation and Testing of SeMA Protocol On Mobile Ad Hoc Network Testbed

   

Abstract

A wireless mobile ad-hoc network consists of a collection of mobile nodes that are capable of communicating with each other without help from a fixed infrastructure. Nodes within each other's communication range communicate directly via wireless links, while those that are far apart use other nodes as relays.

In the ad-hoc network researches, much of the effort so far has been in simulations. The most important reasons are the high complexity involved in implementing and testing actual ad-hoc networks, and the lack of software tools for doing so.

In this project SeMA which is an ad hoc network protocol, is prepared and modified to run on Linux machines and a testbed that enables Linux machines to behave like mobile nodes, is designed and implemented. So testing of ad hoc networks is brought out of simulations and was made to run on real machines.
