Abstract
Ad hoc wireless networks are new communication networks that can be dynamically formed and deformed on-the-fly, anytime and anywhere. User data is routed with the help of an ad hoc mobile routing protocol. Before the deployment of ad hoc mobile services, the communication performance of such networks has to be evaluated to demonstrate the practicality limits based on today's hardware and innovative communication software. This paper describes the realization of an ad hoc wireless testbed and the various experimental field trials performed on campus. In particular, throughput, end-to-end delay, route discovery time, and the impact of varying source packet size and beaconing intervals are examined.

Network resource efficient routing in mobile ad hoc wireless networks
Network resources in mobile ad hoc wireless networks (MANETs) are constrained due to their dynamic topology and lack of centralized control. Mobile nodes in MANETs tend to broadcast packets to exchange information and consume lots of network resources ...
Evaluating the communication performance of an ad hoc wireless network
Adaptive and self-organizing wireless networks are gaining in popularity. Several media access and routing protocols were proposed for such networks and the performance of such protocols were evaluated based on simulations. In this paper, we evaluate ...
Security in wireless ad hoc network
The mobile ad hoc network is open medium, easy to deploy and free of the centralised control network. But these features of mobile ad hoc network come along with security attacks, such as black hole attack and grey hole attack. In black hole attack ...
