移动的自组织无线网络为无处不在的连接提供了一个有趣的范例。他们有许多提议的应用程序，并且每个应用程序都有新的协议。要测试这样的协议，有两个基本的选择：模拟器和测试床。我们描述了一种新的无线网络测试平台称为MeshTest，支持移动的，ad-hoc和网状环境，重点是大型，室外环境的实验室测试。本文详细介绍了试验台的设计，并推导出衰减器设置和现实世界的拓扑结构之间的数学关系。我们展示了如何准确，有效地映射拓扑结构，我们的测试平台配置在真实的时间，同时支持设备的移动性和多径衰落。
Mobile, ad-hoc, wireless networks offer an interesting paradigm for ubiquitous connectivity. They have many proposed applications, and with every application comes new protocols. To test such protocols, one has two basic options: simulators and testbeds. We describe a novel wireless networks testbed called MeshTest, supporting mobile, ad-hoc, and mesh environments, with an emphasis on laboratory testing of large, outdoor environments. This paper details the testbed design, and derives mathematical relationships between attenuator settings and real-world topologies. We show how to accurately and efficiently map topologies to our testbed configuration in real time, while supporting both device mobility and multipath fading.
