Abstract

This paper describes a protocol testbed system called UNAGI/ESPAR for ad hoc networks, which enables the evaluation of communication protocols with a gain-controlled antenna. It incorporates ESPAR as a practical smart antenna, IEEE802.15.4/ZigBee, GPS and gyro modules to allow easy installation of different protocols. Some experimental results are also shown.
