This prototype uses the CNClib in an Android's AsynchTask to connect to a Gateway (the first in the PoA-list) and is capable of sending and receiving simple text messages to/from any other mobile and stationary nodes, including the Controller.
The extension of the laboratory testbed, with the introduction of more routing protocols, such as MaxProp, and more mobility models for mobile nodes are included on the authors' plans for future studies.
To solve this problem, we developed a novel node-allocation framework using the multidimensional context parameters of each mobile node, which include available bandwidth, disconnection rate, and the remaining battery capacity.
However, under this scheme, each node, including each mobile user, can work as a relay node, and the scale of the network is limited to only two hops.
Moreover, the reactive routing protocol is more robust in dynamic network including mobile nodes.
Mobile-Based Services on the other hand include mobile nodes that are moving in a non-structural way and provide any type of services and information from their current location.
However, the spanning tree method provides path redundancy which allows it to be more robust in dynamic networks including many mobile nodes.
In this paper, the multicast system for seamless live multimedia service is made up of the multimedia server, a BMSA, a number of APs, and mobile devices (or mobile nodes) such as tablet PCs including iPad and Galaxy tab, PDAs, and laptop computers.
We accomplish that by running the same scenario, but now decreasing the density of the network, which includes only ten mobile nodes.
