Abstract
We have built a mobile, ad-hoc, delay tolerant, network testbed (MADNeT). Our testbed is geared towards enabling the exploration of highly disconnected networks whose nodes must store and forward information (multi-hop paths are very unlikely), while allowing us to explore connected network scenarios as well. Using our MADNeT, we can emulate a wide range of mobile networking scenarios and execute real-world (albeit somewhat simplified) data collection missions. Our system is built from commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware running a paired-down Linux OS, yielding a relatively inexpensive but fairly flexible mobile network testbed. We have implemented replication-based information diffusion protocols and a distributed opportunistic surveillance application on the testbed as proof-of-concept. Currently, we are refining our software tool-set and instrumenting our nodes to test both our protocols and application.

A weight-based clustering multicast routing protocol for mobile ad hoc networks
In mobile ad hoc networks, the mobile nodes can move arbitrarily without any centralised management mechanism. The topology of these networks can be very dynamic due to the mobility of mobile nodes. Under such changeable network topology, multicasting ...
A Study of Speed Aware Routing for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
The flexibility of movement for the wireless ad hoc devices, referred to as node mobility, introduces challenges such as dynamic topological changes, increased frequency of route disconnections and high packet loss rate in Mobile Ad hoc Wireless Network ...
Neighborhood-Based Route Discovery Protocols for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks
Network-wide broadcasting is used extensively in mobile ad hoc networks for route discovery and for disseminating data throughout the network. Flooding is a common approach to performing network-wide broadcasting. Although it is a simple mechanism that ...
