About the Project... The University of California, Santa Barbara Mesh Testbed is an experimental wireless mesh network deployed on the campus of UC Santa Barbara. The network consists of 20+ nodes equipped with IEEE 802.11b wireless radios. The nodes are distributed on five floors of the Engineering 1 building on the campus. Our Vision... The network is being used to design protocols and systems for the robust operation of multi-hop wireless networks. Specifically, the testbed is being used to conduct research in scalable routing protocols, efficient network management, multimedia streaming, and QoS for multi-hop wireless networks.
