Abstract :
Vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) are composed of mobile wireless communication devices on board of automobiles to help drivers in the urban traffic and on highways. In the Amazon, the waterways are the roads and the boats are the vehicles. In this paper, we investigate, through real experiments, the characteristics of links formed by boats running wireless technologies IEEE 802.11b/g in ad hoc mode in the Black river. The results show the feasibility of developing applications and services that use the contact between the boats that travel to small cities in the Amazon.
