The above screenshot is taken from one emulation test we did in Carleton. It involves 5 nodes. As the above picture shown, for example, the node "PC01" is 4 hops away from "nodes89" .
Software on Mesh Node
uClinux
The Operating System on the mesh board is uClinux, which is a popular embeded Linux. The current kernel version is 2.4.24.
QoS OLSR
QoS OLSR is deployed as the routing protocol of the wireless mesh network. It adds QoS support to the standard OLSR protocol. The implementation is from Communications Research Centre (CRC).
Mobile Network Emulator (MNE)
On the test bed, we use NRL's Mobile Network Emulator, to emulate various test senarios. CMap also from NRL, is deployed as the visualization tool to demonstrate the network toplogy.
