An Integrated Testbed for Routing Performance of MANET

Most of MANET studies are made with tools of simulations and emulations, whereas it is deficient to present real running conditions. Hence, real-world environment is the crux. In order to solve this problem, our paper proposes an optimized experimental testbed. It includes a crucial function library and a route performance evaluation. Our testbeds architecture and data-flow is shown in figure 1. We make attacks arise in specific time to verify the repeatablility and provide modularized encapsulation to ensure the reproducibility. Different from previous work, we add enumerable evaluations to optimized routing algorithm and calculate their weights by AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). In figure 4, we obtain the scores of various protocols. At the end of this paper, an optimized routing protocol is testrun as an implementation example and results are shown.
