Abstract:
We present a mobile wireless network evaluation
tool (MOWINE) that can analyze mobility and wireless connectiv-
ity traces to quantify performance of different network protocols
in a given application scenario. We model the highly dynamic
connectivity of mobile networks using time-expanded graphs
which allow us to study the best-case performance of network
protocols. MOWINE also integrates with a network simulator
that can evaluate performance of recent VANET routing protocols
with a user specified data load. This combination of network
modeling and simulation enables users to gain deeper insights
into the performance of routing protocols, for example, by
distinguishing the limitations of a particular routing protocol
from the fundamental limitations of the underlying network.
Thus, network engineers can use MOWINE to study and fine-
tune performance of real-world network protocols in different
scenarios before deploying the network, and hence engineer
the mobile ad hoc network. We demonstrate the effectiveness
of MOWINE by analyzing and understanding the performance
of six different VANET routing protocols using real-world taxi
cab traces collected in San Francisco. After identifying the
bottlenecks, we demonstrate several basic network engineering
tasks and their implications on the network performance.
