Abstract :
The concept of Ad-hoc mobile networks that support multi-hopping has been around for some time now. However, making sure that such decentralized networks are completely self-organizing is not a trivial task and raises various issues relating to network management, routing, interference, etc. We have built a software SONIR (Self-Organizing Network with Intelligent Relaying), in MATLAB, which implements an end-to-end multi-hop, virtual MIMO system, capable of dealing with mobility of nodes in a Rayleigh fading environment. Different methods for clustering, mobility managment, routing, virtual MIMO, etc. have been implemented. These methods work on different OSI layers. Our main goal is to be able to visualize such a system as a whole in order to see the end-to-end performance as well as solve the possible issues that arise with it.
