Abstract

In this demo we present software extension for the Wireless open Access Research Platform (WARP), named as Linux Enriched WARP (LE-WARP). The objective of the LE-WARP is twofold. First, to make the WARP more independent from external systems, e.g., need for external PC to be part of the WARP's network layer. This is achieved by introducing Linux OS to the platform. The second objective is to utilize a secondary network for coordinated statistics gathering from the WARPs. To demonstrate these features of LE-WARP, a prototype implementation consisting of distributed Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) based MAC protocol with distributed time synchronization algorithm and the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol for ad hoc networks is presented. The demonstration highlights the LE-WARP's ability to monitor the multihop test network consisting four nodes while utilizing the presented prototype implementation.
