Abstract

For massive data communication, the wireless network is often needed to support data transmission in complex environment. In this case, a portable, inexpensive and efficient wireless device is especially helpful. In order to realize this function, we propose a wireless self-organized connection strategy in this paper. We focus on a multihop wireless network with single relay at each hop. One of the challenges over this system is to set up the communication link optimally and automatically, which is also the main contribution of this paper. So we designed an On-Demand Cross-Layer Connection Strategy (ODCLCS) based on WLAN to achieve the data transmission between source and destination point. This strategy crosses application layer, transport layer, network layer and MAC layer. By using active scanning in MAC layer, proper nodes can be found and connected. The automatic routing method can get benefit from active scanning message, automatically allocate IP address for each node. At last, we develop a link maintenance function which works after the link is established. The link maintenance function using heartbeats communication mechanism to find link errors. Moreover, the link maintenance message is very short which can be neglected compared with the data stream. The ODCLCS is designed for Wireless Self-organized Link (WSOL) system. WSOL system aims to establish a stable and user-friendly communication link by using ODCLCS and other necessary programs. All programs are properly written and debugged repeatedly by us, which can work well on testbed devices. Performance evaluation using NS-3 simulator shows the characteristic of WSOL. The WSOL program for testbed is based on cfg80211 and mac80211 in Linux Kernel. And some API based on libnl library is invoked. The testing data provided verify the good performance of ODCLCS in reality.
