TLDR
The W-iLab.t wireless testbed is presented and it is argued that deep analysis of unexpected testbed behavior is key to understanding the dynamics of wireless network deployments.Abstract:
In this paper, the W-iLab.t wireless testbed is presented. The testbed consists of nearly 200 sensor nodes and an equal amount of WiFi nodes, which are installed across three floors of an office building. The testbed supports wireless sensor experiments, WiFi based mesh and ad hoc experiments, and mixed sensor/WiFi experiments. It is explained how changes in the environment of the sensor nodes can be emulated and how experiments with heterogeneous wireless nodes are enabled. Additional features of the testbed are listed and lessons learned are presented that will help researchers to construct their own testbed infrastructure or add functionality to an existing testbed. Finally, it is argued that deep analysis of unexpected testbed behavior is key to understanding the dynamics of wireless network deployments.read more

FlockLab: a testbed for distributed, synchronized tracing and profiling of wireless embedded systems
TL;DR: FlockLab is presented, a testbed that overcomes limitation by allowing multiple services to run simultaneously and synchronously against all nodes under test in addition to the traditional serial port service: tracing of GPIO pins to record logical events occurring on a node, actuated pins to trigger actions on a nodes, and high-resolution power profiling.

Adaptive Real-Time Communication for Wireless Cyber-Physical Systems
TL;DR: The Blink protocol is built on the non-real-time Low-Power Wireless Bus (LWB) and new scheduling algorithms based on the earliest-deadline-first policy are designed, which proves a global approach that does not use network state information as input can overcome limitations.
