Abstract

Simulation software in MANET research is vital. Such a tool provides a versatile mechanism to understand all the involved aspects of these particular systems, from the radio interface to the last communication layer. In this chapter, the authors present the SimuMANET project, a tool for both simulation and field tests purpose. It allows the deployment of wireless reconfigurable ad-hoc networks and MANETs, assisted by a real-time graphical user interface (GUI) for network traffic monitoring and management of radio electric features of the links established between the active network nodes. Due to a set of functionalities, such as GUI, network topology visualization, traffic and motion pattern configuration, and real-time network status analysis, the simulator introduced here becomes a valid tool for both research and education targets. Two scenarios with different types of motion and traffic are simulated using the SimuMANET tool, and the results are shown and commented to illustrate some capabilities of this software.
