Implementation and Evaluation of Emulator for Testing Service Programs in MANET

Debugging of service programs using a real MANET requires enormous number of devices, a vast testing space, and a lot of people. For this reason, many MANET emulators have been proposed so far. However, these emulators have some drawbacks and advantages. In this article, a new emulator is proposed to effectively test service programs for MANET. Moreover, we implemented the emulator to evaluate the performance and to compare it with existing emulators. The comparative results show that the proposed emulator can realize more efficient and larger range of the test.
