The current state of the art in evaluating applications and communication protocols for ad hoc wireless networks usually involves either simulation or small-scale live deployment. Larger-scale live deployment is typically costly and difficult to run under controlled circumstances. Simulation allows more flexibility in varying system configurations, but requires the duplication of application and network behavior within the simulator. While simulation and live deployment will clearly continue to play important roles in the evaluation of mobile systems, we present MobiNet, a third point in this space. In MobiNet, the communication of unmodified applications running on stock operating systems is subject to the real-time emulation of a user-specified wireless network environment. MobiNet utilizes a cluster of emulator nodes to appropriately delay, drop or deliver packets in a hop by hop fashion based on MAC-layer protocols, ad hoc routing protocols, congestion, queuing, and available bandwidth in the network. Our evaluations show that MobiNet emulation is scalable and accurate while executing real code, including video playback.
