A Software Development Of Ad Hoc Network Monitoring

Since the late of 1990, a brand new technique has developed quickly in the field of wireless communication, and it has been infiltrated from military communication field to correlative civilian communication fields. That is what called Ad hoc network technique, what is a wireless mobile communication network with features of Self-Organization, Multi-Hop and Infrastructureless.The pivot of the thesis is to program software to monitor the status of the Ad hoc network. First, it introduces the technique features of Ad hoc network and the current development of the router test software. Second, it introduces the background material of Ad hoc network and advances the overall design project after analyzing the demand of the software.Third, it raises the basic idea of software developing that is getting the maximal information in the precondition of occupying the Ad hoc network as little as possible in order to draw the topological graph, includes the designing of communication protocol and the programming of practical function process, also includes the programming of serial communication, database management and image programming etc. Fourth, it summarizes the software debugging methods under the condition of no Ad hoc hardware support, the realization approach of offline debugging platform, and difficulties and experience during the programming and debugging process. Fifth, it comments the current development statement of Ad hoc network objectively, makes an expectation of real time monitor functions and full summary.
