| description |
There are two main approaches to measuring the performance of
location-based software for mobile ad hoc networks: live testing and
measurements in an emulation testbed. The former is problematic
because of high resource costs and low reproducibility. The latter
offers the advantage of reproducible network conditions in the
laboratory. In addition, location-based software has to be provided
with appropriate location information. We develop virtual devices
that mimic the interface and functionality of actual positioning
devices, and integrate these into an existing network emulation
testbed. The combination of mobile network emulation and positioning
device emulation facilitates the evaluation of location-based
software in different scenarios. We provide sample measurements
using an existing location-based adhoc routing protocol
implementation for inter-vehicle communication in a scenario with 50
emulated cars. The results are in good agreement with the available
simulations.
