We present an approach to improve simulation results by automatically mapping the network topology of real wireless networks into a simulation environment. We basically target two problem domains: First, simulations are often used with rather arbitrary ...

The investigation and assessment of information theoretic concepts for wireless resource management in real-world scenarios requires flexible testbeds with wide range of reconfigurable parameters. These functionalities are currently offered only in ...

This paper reports experimental results comparing the performance of four platforms employed in spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum access research: a sensing engine developed at imec and built around a prototype RFIC; the Universal Software Radio ...

Wireless network testbeds have emerged as a valuable alternative to network simulation, but actually using them for experiments presents a number of challenges. We use the ORBIT testbed at Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA as a case study to ...

This article discusses lessons learned from use of our publicly available wireless networking testbed, assert[1]. In [1] we discussed the design and implementation phase of a testbed based on a set of propositions. By opening the testbed to users not ...
