Research and implementation of mobile ad hoc network emulation system
Weiguo Liu, Hantao Song · 2003
Emulation is an efficient method in mobile ad hoc network research, which provides a good approach to accurately evaluate the MANET routing protocol large scale. In this paper, we describe the modeling and implementation of a new low cost MANET emulator called NE based on Ethernet environment. NE provides mobile multi-hop wireless emulation including incomplete connectivity, random frame loss, bandwidth limitation and communication delay. NE is suitable for middle scale MANET emulation where the number of nodes is about one hundred.
