ASSERT: System Level Wireless Networking Testbed

Explore the research in wireless networking and distributed systems at the Distributed Systems Laboratory at The University of Texas at Dallas. Discover MAC layer protocols, autoconfiguration, routing, and transport layer advancements. The lab conducts experiments on MANET, VANET, and SensorNets, focusing on algorithm design, simulations, and implementation. The testbed provides accuracy, controllability, mobility, repeatability, and more. Learn about the software architecture enabling experiment design, initiation, and control, including diagnostics, topology mapping, reservation, attenuation control, and system state logging. The platform offers a scalable architecture for repeatable, mobility, and protocol stress experiments.
