Abstract :
Management operations of mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) like network formation, join and merge/split are complex and highly demanding on the battery, a scarce resource for any mobile device. In a previous paper, we proposed two MANET management algorithms that proved, by ns-2 simulation, to be feasible, reliable and cost-effective. This paper presents the experimental results of implementing one of the two algorithms, the greedy formation algorithm for MANET, on real devices. Data acquired so far and included in this paper are a strong argument in the favor of this approach
