Evaluation of a MANET Testbed in Outdoor Bridge Environment Using BATMAN Routing Protocol

A set of wireless mobile terminals, which cooperate by routing packets to each other create a Mobile Adhoc Network (MANET). MANETs are attracting attention for their potential use in several fields such as collaborative computing and disaster recovery environments. Considering mobility of the terminals, the routes change more dynamically and routing becomes a key process for operation of MANETs. In this paper, we analyze the performance of Better Approach to MANET (BATMAN) routing protocol in an outdoor bridge environment considering mobility and vertical communication. We implement two scenarios on untested and evaluate the communication in terms of bitrate and packetloss.
