CISE Research Resources: Experimental Testbed for Mobile Network Protocols

Teresa dahlberg北卡罗来纳大学夏洛特分校研究资源：移动网络协议实验试验台这个项目的总体目标是实验分析支持多媒体服务的移动网络协议。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实验部分。实验工作将集中在涉及移动网络协议开发和分析的每个项目的组成部分。实验将使动态环境中协议行为的关键分析成为可能，在这种环境中，真实世界的实体取代了仿真模型，特别是网络流量模型、无线信道模型、故障和漏洞模型以及电力使用模型。测试平台将包含蜂窝网络和特设网络架构，其组件包括带有IEEE 802.11无线电和FreeBSD操作系统的pc和笔记本电脑。需要配置的网络节点包括生成可变比特率流音频和视频的多媒体节点和安全认证节点。该测试平台将支持个人研究活动，并促进在多媒体、安全、特设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作用。实验研究的结果将有助于在高度动态环境中移动网络协议行为的有限知识体系。

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.
