将用户社区与实验性无线网络相关联可以带来多种好处，例如访问真实用户的网络流量。然而，为了确保网络的持续使用，它必须提供可接受的服务水平。实验网络中部署的软件变化率很高，这可能会导致停机。通常，这些实验网络（即所谓的生活实验室）部署在远程位置，对硬件的访问受到限制，并且部分由非技术用户管理。这表明研究人员需要一种机制来对 Living Lab 网络上的软件进行可靠的远程更新。在本文中，我们描述了 MeshUp 的设计和开源实现——一种用于无线网状网络中网络设备的新型可靠软件更新机制。 MeshUp 将在我们的研究中发挥关键作用，让我们能够远程部署新软件并在 Wray Living Lab 上为用户提供可接受的服务，确保其可持续性。
Several benefits can be derived from having a user community associated with an experimental wireless network, such as access to real user's network traffic. However, to ensure continued use of the network, it must provide acceptable levels of service. The software deployed in experimental networks is subject to high rates of change, which can lead to down-time. Often these experimental networks, so-calledLiving Labs, are deployed in remote locations with restricted access to hardware, and are in-part administered by non-technical users. This suggests that a mechanism is required by researchers for reliable and remote updating of the software on a Living Lab network. In this paper, we describe the design and open-source implementation of MeshUp - a novel reliable software update mechanism for network devices in a wireless mesh network. MeshUp will play a key role in our research by allowing us to remotely deploy new software and maintain acceptable service to users on the Wray Living Lab, ensuring its sustainability.
