MESHMERIZE: An Interactive Demo of Resilient Mesh Networks in Drones

Research output: Contribution to book/Conference proceedings/Anthology/ReportConference contributionContributedpeer-review

Abstract

Classical wireless mesh routing protocols fail frequently when the nodes are subject to mobility or dynamic link qualities. Meshmerize is an opportunistic multi-path mesh routing protocol designed for dynamic networks. It ensures persistent connectivity to even mobile nodes in the network. In this demo, we demonstrate the resilience of Meshmerize and the shortcomings of the classical protocols using an emulated drone network. The audience can pilot a (virtual) drone in a city through a meshed network of base stations and experience the latency and reliability characteristics of both Meshmerize and legacy protocols.
