CISE Research Resources: Experimental Testbed for Mobile Network Protocols

EIA-0130799北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校的Teresa Dahlberg研究资源：移动网络协议的实验测试本项目的总体目标是对支持多媒体服务的移动网络协议进行实验分析。将建立一个无线移动多媒体网络，为北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校正在进行的四个研究项目增加一个试验性组件。实验工作将集中在每个项目的组件上，涉及移动网络协议的开发和分析。实验将实现对动态环境中协议行为的关键分析，在动态环境中，真实世界实体取代模拟模型，特别是网络流量模型、无线信道模型、故障和漏洞模型以及功率使用模型。测试床将包括蜂窝和临时网络架构，其组件包括配备IEEE 802.11无线电和免费BSD操作系统的个人电脑和笔记本电脑。要配置的网络节点包括生成可变比特率流音频和视频流的多媒体节点和安全认证节点。试验台将支持个人研究活动，并促进在多媒体、安全、临时网络和蜂窝网络领域拥有专业知识的研究人员之间的协同。实验研究的结果将有助于在高度动态的环境中了解有限的移动网络协议行为。

EIA-0130799 Teresa DahlbergUniversity of North Carolina CharlotteCISE Research Resources: Experimental Testbed for Mobile Network ProtocolsThe overall objective of this project is to experimentally analyze mobile network protocols that support multimedia services. A wireless, mobile multimedia network will be built to add an experimental component to four ongoing research projects at UNC Charlotte. The experimental work will focus on the component of each project that involves development and analysis of mobile network protocols. Experimentation will enable critical analysis of protocol behavior in dynamic environments where real-world entities replace simulation models, especially, network traffic models, wireless channel models, fault and vulnerability models, and power usage models. The testbed will encompass both cellular and ad hoc network architectures with components that include PCs and laptops with IEEE 802.11 radios and FreeBSD operating system. Network nodes to be configured include multimedia nodes that generate variable bit rate streaming audio and video and a security authentication node. The testbed will support individual research activities as well as facilitate synergy among the researchers who possess expertise in the areas of multimedia, security, ad hoc networking, and cellular networking. The outcome of the experimental studies will contribute to the limited body of knowledge of mobile network protocol behavior within highly dynamic environments.
