Title
An Implementation Of Multichannel Multi-Interface Manet For Fire Engines And Experiments With Winds Satellite Mobile Earth Station
Abstract
We propose a novel communication system for an emergency fire response team, which provides Internet service on the way to and in the disaster area. The system is composed of a multi-interface mobile ad-hoc network (MANET) router, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, and two Wi-Fi interfaces with directional antennas, which can be easily attached to the roof of a vehicle. The front-side Wi-Fi interface of the vehicle is operated in the infrastructure mode, and the rear-side interface is operated in the access point mode. Different channels are assigned to each AP interface of the vehicles. Infrastructure mode Wi-Fi interfaces automatically scan and connect to an appropriate AP interface and create MANET links. Some experiments using this wireless system with the WINDS satellite mobile earth station and nine fire engines were conducted in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. We measured the TCP throughput and confirmed that a throughput of more than 10 Mbps was able to be obtained by most of the node pairs. In addition, high-vision video streaming was able to be successfully transmitted to the streaming server on the Internet through MANET and satellite communication links while they were platooning.
