The tremendous popularity of smart phones and electronic tablets has spurred the explosive growth of high-rate multimedia wireless services. To alleviate the huge infrastructure investment in the exponential growth of mobile traffic and improve local service flexibility, device-to-device (D2D) communications have been considered for the next genera...

Smart Environments are environments where heterogeneous wireless networks are implemented and connected together both in terms of networking and in terms of functionalities, thus providing an abstraction layer to higher level applications that can exploit the interplay of such technologies to obtain killer features. In order to obtain real advantag...

The MESH-WISE project is aiming to address key fundamental issues in wireless mesh networking that span from fundamental performance characterization to prototyping heterogeneous-access mesh networking solutions for emergency response scenarios. In this paper we present the infrastructures that will be leveraged in this project and the latest resul...
Conference Paper

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have raised great interest in both academy and industry thanks to their flexibility, low cost and easy deployment characteristics. MobiMESH is a WMN implementation that provides a complete framework for analyzing, studying and testing the behavior of a mesh network in a real-life environment. MobiMESH includes seamless...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) represent nowa-days' new frontier of wireless networking technology. In fact, WMN allow the extension of traditional wireless access networks through multihop relaying; this leads to the creation of easily deployable, flexible and reliable networks. WMN have been largely studied through theoretical models and simulatio...

... In [6], a testbed is created in an office environment and it is used to implement smart city concepts. The technologies used in this architecture are: WiFi, BLE and Zigbee. ...
... Scott et al. [5] conducted research overview of device-to-device (D2D) communications 5G heterogonous network by means of various Integer Linear programming. The study only handles issue related to 5G signal transmission using D2D communication principle and never said anything concerning the impact of 5G radiation on health matters. ...
... Moreover, these efforts provide the researchers with practical frameworks to implement and evaluate their solution in real architectures. Most of these test-beds support multiple interfaces per mesh router and are developed using off-theshelf 802.11 components or software-defined radios when heterogeneous technologies are implemented [96,97]. ...
... For these case studies, we will use the Campus testbed architecture, called C-VeT [5], deployed at UCLA. C-Vet is based on the integration of a vehicular ad hoc component and a flexible wireless mesh infrastructure -MobiMESH [7]. C-VeT differs from traditional Campus testbeds in that it relies on a dedicated Mesh infrastructure and on a fleet of Campus Facilities Vehicles endlessly circulating on Campus as they respond to service requests. ...
... The performance of the network is deeply studied in works [58,[70][71][72], and the available communication hardware is evaluated in order to find out better solutions [12]. Testbeds are proposed in [73,74] to evaluate practical aspects related to the vehicular communication, while requirements of privacy and security of the infrastructure are addressed in [47]. Moreover, Fiore and Härri [75] present an in-depth analysis of the topological properties of a vehicular network and found that simulation results are strongly affected by the mobility model, and they question the validity of studies conducted under unrealistic car mobility scenarios. ...
