IvyNet: A Testbed for Multi-Hop Wireless Network Research |
| Yang Su, Markus Heule, Thomas Gross, IvyNet: A Testbed for Multi-Hop Wireless Network Research, LST Technical Report, September 2006, ETH Zurich, September 2006. [TR-lst092006_2006.pdf] |
| This paper describes IvyNet, a miniaturised 802.11-based multi-hop wireless network testbed, that is currently being developed for controllable wireless testing and evaluation of wireless protocols and applications. IvyNet requires only a small space and allows users to set up a multi-hop wireless network with minimal effort. We present the key elements of the IvyNet testbed architecture, including its hardware and software platforms. We also demonstrate the fidelity of IvyNet by extensive experiments. Finally, using a case study we show the usefulness of IvyNet for wireless protocol evaluation. |
