Abstract

Nowadays mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) are proposed in many collaborative and mobile scenarios. Despite the effort of the research community on algorithms and implementations mainly targeted to laptops, very few implementations exist for commercial PDAs (i.e., equipped with Windows Mobile). In this work, a practical study on one of the few available and running implementations has been conducted, with the aim of providing a toolkit for researchers, engineers and practitioners willing to use MANETs in their scenarios/systems/applications.
