    Abstract: Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in buildings are faced with transmission issues, much more severe than those of outdoor applications. Next to the transmission effective range, battery lifetime is also of a high importance, as it can sig-nificantly affect network performance and maintenance requirements. In this paper we present an architectural con... Show More

    Abstract: The dynamic nature of vehicular ad-hoc networks (VANETs) makes performance comparisons hard, because network conditions cannot be replicated. This paper introduces PepNet (Parallel Experiment Platform for VANET), a VANET testbed where multiple experimental configurations run simultaneously on identical network conditions. PepNet exploits Xen and Ge... Show More
