This thesis addresses issues faced in the practical implementation of a wireless ad hoc network (WAHN) protocol for data transmission. This study focuses on: (1) Evaluating existing hardware and software options available for the WAHN implementation. (2) Appraising the issues faced while implementing a practical wireless ad hoc protocol. (3) Applying a set of MAC protocol specifications developed for a wireless ad hoc data network to a practical test network. Specific to the above topics of...
Show moreThis thesis addresses issues faced in the practical implementation of a wireless ad hoc network (WAHN) protocol for data transmission. This study focuses on: (1) Evaluating existing hardware and software options available for the WAHN implementation. (2) Appraising the issues faced while implementing a practical wireless ad hoc protocol. (3) Applying a set of MAC protocol specifications developed for a wireless ad hoc data network to a practical test network. Specific to the above topics of interest, the following research tasks are performed: (1) An elaborate survey and relevant discussions on wireless MAC protocols. (2) A comprehensive study comparing various wireless transceivers is performed. Range, data rate, frequency, interfacing method and cost are the factors compared. (3) A simple, low-cost and low baud-rate transceiver is modified with appropriate interface circuits to support wireless communications. A more advanced transceiver is also considered and used for the software foundation of a practical implementation of the ad hoc and MAC protocols. The studies enable assessing the problems faced during the implementation and suggest solutions to resolve these problems. Further areas for study are also discussed.
