Abstract

Real-life tests of ad hoc networks are invaluable in order to assess models used in simulation. However, the number of factors affecting the performance of an ad hoc network is high. There are, for example, system factors, such as routing protocols, MAC and physical layer protocols, as well as environment factors, such as the presence of walls, foliage and moving objects. In this regard, it is important to design repeatable experiments of the network, in order to identify the parameters which really affect the system behavior. Here, we leverage methods of statistical testing theory to identify these parameters in a compact manner. In particular, we use OLSR as a routing protocol. Results from real experiments confirm the horizon effect of ad hoc multi-hop networks and shown that there is a treatment effect caused by the window size of OLSR.
