一组通过相互转发数据包进行协作的无线移动终端定义了移动自组织网络（MANET）。 MANET 因其在协作计算和智能环境等多个领域的潜在用途而极具吸引力。考虑到无线链路的有限带宽能力，需要研究MANET节点的通信。在本文中，我们分析了 MANET 测试台在室外桥接环境中的性能，考虑了网状和线性拓扑中的多跳和垂直通信。我们实现了两种场景来评估吞吐量和抖动方面的通信。测试台上的节点使用 Better Approach to MANET (BATMAN) 路由协议。从实验结果来看，随着跳数的增加，吞吐量会下降，并且在中央桥（CB）场景和网状拓扑中具有最佳性能。而抖动由于较少的跳数和线性拓扑而得到改善，从而避免了其他节点的干扰。
A set of wireless mobile terminals, which cooperate by forwarding packets to each other defines a Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET). MANETs are attractive for their potential use in several fields such as collaborative computing and smart environments. Considering the limited bandwidth capabilities of the wireless links, communication of MANET nodes needs to be investigated. In this paper, we analyze the performance of our MANET testbed in an outdoor bridge environment considering multihop and vertical communication in mesh and linear topology. We implement two scenarios to evaluate the communication in terms of throughput and jitter. The nodes on the testbed use Better Approach to MANET (BATMAN) routing protocol. From experimental results, throughput decreases when the number of hops increases and it has the best performance in Central Bridge (CB) scenario and mesh topology. While jitter improves for less number of hops and linear topology, which avoids the interference of other nodes.
