XIAN 1.2 (Default branch) |
|
|
XIAN (a cross-layer Interface for wireless ad-hoc
networks) is a generic interface for experimenting
cross-layer designs with legacy 802.11 networking
cards using the MadWifi driver on Linux platforms.
It can be used as a service by other network
layers or system components to access information
about the configuration and performance of MAC/PHY
layers. The interface is fully implemented and is
available for Linux over the MadWifi 802.11 driver.

Changes:
Mechanisms enabling bidirectional exchanges of
metrics between neighbouring nodes were
implemented. A code example implementing the ETX
metric "Expected Transmission Count" was added.
The neighboring module was implemented,
maintaining an updated table of the active
neighbors by triggering updates necessary to
automate XIAN Nano-protocol message exchanges.
