Measurements From an 802.11b Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Overview This paper analyzes the characteristics of a multi-hop 802.11b mobile ad hoc network. The paper presents data gathered from a mobile network of 20 devices carried by test users over 5 days in an indoor environment. The data is analyzed with regard to the number of reachable devices, the node degree, the average path length, the link lifetime, and the route lifetime. Despite the relatively high node density and low node mobility in the setup, frequent network partitioning and considerably high path lengths (as large as 7 hops) are observed. However, the usability of these long paths is questionable as their lifetime is short.
