Mobility in mobile ad-hoc network testbed using robot: Technical and critical review

Recently, MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) researchers have shown increased interest in using mobile robot technology for their testbed platforms. Despite the existence of review papers that discuss the usage of mobile robot technology pertaining to a MANET testbed from the perspective of a MANET researcher, said findings are rather lacklustre as it is not the sole purpose of said reviews. Hence, this review aims to comprehensively discuss and analyse MANET testbeds that were facilitated with mobile robot technology for previous undertaken research. To enable readers to keep abreast with mobile robot technology used in previous research, whilst presenting the advantages and disadvantages of said methods, this review will first superficially discuss prior robot based MANET testbed facilities, before presenting technical analysis overview and critical analysis. Additionally, suggestions to heighten mobility mechanisms by using mobile robots to be more practical, easy and inexpensive are also included in this paper. The technical and critical content of this review is expected to be a source of reference for other MANET researchers interested in the most suitable mobile robots to ensure real mobility in their MANET testbeds.

A Technical Review of MANET Testbed Using Mobile Robot Technology

Recently, MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) researchers have shown increased interest in using mobile robot technology for their testbed platforms. Despite the existence of review papers that discuss the usage of mobile robot technology pertaining to a MANET testbed from the perspective of a MANET researcher, said findings are rather lacklustre as it is not the sole purpose of said reviews. Hence, this review aims to comprehensively discuss the technical aspects that were facilitated with mobile robot technology for previous undertaken research. Only selected MANET testbed relevant to this review are compiled, namely Mobile Emulab, MiNT-m, MiNT-2, Proteus, w-ilab.t, ARUM, Sensei-UU, Kansei, CONET-IT, CONE, Roomba MADNet, Explorebots, SCORPION, MOTEL, iRobotSense, IoT-Lab, and NITOS. The discussions in this article are divided into three parts, namely hardware, software as well as mobile robot positioning and localization. The technical content of this review is expected to be a source of reference for other MANET researchers who are interested to use mobile robots for real mobility in their MANET testbeds.

Mobile Ad hoc Network Testbed Using Mobile Robot Technology

MANET (Mobile Ad Hoc Network) researchers have shown increased interest in using mobile robot technology for their testbed platforms. Thus, the main motivation of this paper is to review various robot-based MANET testbeds that have been developed in previously reported research. Additionally, suggestions to heighten mobility mechanisms by using mobile robots to be more practical, easy and inexpensive are also included in this paper, as we unveils ToMRobot, a low-cost MANET robot created from an ordinary remote control car that is capable of performing a real system MANET testbed with the addition of only a few low-cost electronic components. Despite greatly reduced costs, the ToMRobot does not sacrifice any of the necessary MANET basic structures and will still be easily customisable and upgradeable through the use of open hardware technology like Cubieboard2 and Arduino, as its robot controller. This paper will also include guidelines to enable technically limited MANET researchers to design and develop the ToMRobot. It is hoped that this paper achieves its two pronged objectives namely (i) to facilitate other MANET researchers by providing them with a source of reference that eases their decision making for selecting the best and most suitable MANET mobile robots for real mobility in their MANET testbeds (ii) to provide MANET researchers with a prospect of building their own MANET robots that can be applied in their own MANET testbed in the future.

Prevention of Wormhole and Rushing Attack on Location- based Geocasting and Forwarding Routing Protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network

In this paper objective is to prevent possible types of routing attacks are wormhole and rushing attack on locationbased geocasting and forwarding (LGF) routing protocol in Mobile Ad-hoc Network (MANET). The LGF protocol has proposed to the implemented in real MANET test bed that integration by Global Positioning System (GPS)-free covered location tracking system with Geocast-enhanced Ad-hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (GAODV). In addition wormhole and rushing attack will be generating the prevention techniques in LGF protocol and also find the impact of attacks to overcome the potential solutions. Simulation of LGF protocol and attacks has been work done by GloMoSim-2.03 network simulator.
