Mad-WiFi Experiments

My first experience in drivers' programming was the development of a new association mechanism for 802.11 networks. When I had my first version of the mechanism ready for evaluation, I had to overcome my usual experiments that consisted of a maximum of 3 laptops, one running as an AP and the rest as associated STAs. The next step was the testing of my implementation in NITOS Testbed. At first I had to design the topology of my experiments, by observing the neighborhoods of nodes, that could operate as separate WLANs. The aid of the Topology tool was really valuable at this point. Having decided about the appropriate topology, I set up 5 nodes running as APs and the rest as wireless clients. At this time, I am in the phase or running several relevant experiments and collecting their corresponding results.
