A Framework for the Management of Large-Scale Wireless Network Testbeds

Category: Software and Web Development, Networking and Communications

Tags: remote access, network, management

Overview Wireless testbeds are typically distributed over large physical areas. There are often many nodes, some of which are difficult to reach on-site or via remote access. As a result, such nodes may be manageable using only in-band management techniques making the task of testbed management challenging. As a remedy, the paper proposes the ATMA framework, a framework which enables out-of-band management by deploying a multihop mesh network alongside a testbed to manage the latter. The ATMA mesh network is designed to be self-configuring and therefore can be installed with minimal effort. This paper presents the design of the ATMA framework, its extensions, and describes the implementation of the framework using low-cost, commodity wireless devices.
