【摘要】 近年来,关于无线网的研究越来越热门,许多实验平台也应运而生。本文主要介绍Ares Net,一种基于Wireless HART搭建的无线网状网络实验平台。Ares Net拥有20多个组网节点,覆盖范围超过4500平方米。它构建了一整套基础硬件设施,将环境中的数据传输到实验室终端。Ares Net中网络中节点由电池供电,每个节点支持跳信道通信。同时,Ares Net的部署也是为了更多地研究无线网状网络,文中将会分享一些部署和维护的经验。目前在平台上进行了一些有趣的小实验,同时将实验的结果在文章中呈现出来。现在Ares Net已经被用于一些复杂的研究,包括:信道分配,快速入网,scheduling以及支持可移动。未来的研究工作包括安全性以及可靠性的实验评估。更多还原

【Abstract】 Research in wireless networks has been growing in recent years. Many testbeds have been created to study networking protocols in wireless mesh networks. This article describes AresNet. A wireless mesh network based Wireless HART. AresNet comprises of over 20 wireless nodes, spread over 4500 square meters. Mesh nodes in AresNet are powered by battery, and comprise of multiple radios per node. A parallel goal of deploying AresNet is to create a novel platform for advanced research in wireless mesh networks. In this report, the experiences in the deployment and maintenance of AresNet. Several interesting measurement results are reported. AresNet has been used for a variety of experimental studies including: channel assignment, fast join, and mobility studies. Future study plans include experimental evaluations of various security and reliability research.更多还原
