About LEMONADE

The aim of project LEMONADE is the analysis of and experimentation with wireless mobile Delay-Tolerant Networks (DTNs).

In DTNs data delivery delays are very large, often comparable to the time it takes for the topology of the network or its other important features to change significantly. The subject of this project, wireless mobile DTNs, is an important class of DTNs wherein nodes store data, carry them in their buffers as they move in space, and transmit them wirelessly to other nodes they encounter.

The scientific results of this project can be applied to important types of networks of emerging importance that can be viewed as wireless mobile DTNs, in particular:

Project LEMONADE has three main scientific goals:

Deliverables

Testbed

A testbed is designed and implemented in the context of LEMONADE project in order to make real-life transmission rate measurements in ad hoc wireless networks. The testbed currently consists of 20 wireless nodes, materialized through Rasbperry Pi devices, that are placed inside three different floors of an office building of the Athens University of Economics and Business. The testbed supports the estimation of performance in sophisticated transmission mode schemes, thus introducing the first scientific tool for studying the Capacity Region of wireless ad hoc networks without resorting to modeling tools. The paper that presents the testbed is available here.

Datasets

Datasets of Transmission Mode measurements that were made in the testbed are available here.
