A large scale wireless mobile ad hoc network testbed

A large scale ad hoc network testbed was built at Niigata university in November 2004. This testbed has 50 nodes on the building and along the streets. Each node is composed of a SH3 processor with embedded Linux and an IEEE 802.11b wireless LAN card. OLSR is used for the routing protocol. Packet transmission experiments were conducted and performance was measured. Some experimental results are presented and discussed, and some implementation issues were identified.
