本文介绍了W-iLab.t无线测试平台。该测试平台由近200个传感器节点和等量的WiFi节点组成，安装在办公楼的三层楼。该测试平台支持无线传感器实验、基于WiFi的网格和自组织实验以及混合传感器/WiFi实验。它解释了如何在传感器节点的环境中的变化可以被模拟，以及如何实验与异构无线节点启用。测试平台的其他功能被列出，并提出了经验教训，这将有助于研究人员构建自己的测试平台基础设施或添加功能到现有的测试平台。最后，有人认为，深入分析意外的测试床行为是理解无线网络部署的动态的关键。
In this paper, the W-iLab.t wireless testbed is presented. The testbed consists of nearly 200 sensor nodes and an equal amount of WiFi nodes, which are installed across three floors of an office building. The testbed supports wireless sensor experiments, WiFi based mesh and ad hoc experiments, and mixed sensor/WiFi experiments. It is explained how changes in the environment of the sensor nodes can be emulated and how experiments with heterogeneous wireless nodes are enabled. Additional features of the testbed are listed and lessons learned are presented that will help researchers to construct their own testbed infrastructure or add functionality to an existing testbed. Finally, it is argued that deep analysis of unexpected testbed behavior is key to understanding the dynamics of wireless network deployments.
