Topology control in an ad-hoc network can provide better spatial reuse of the wireless channel and conserve power. Topology construction and maintenance is a challenging issue. A number of distributed topology control algorithms have been proposed to remove the need of a centralised controller. Distributed algorithms such as location information no topology (LINT), location information link state topology (LILT) and mobile-grid (MG), aim to achieve overall network connectivity and low transmission range by maintaining a minimum node degree value. In the case of a non-uniform node distribution, maintaining a minimum node degree can unnecessarily partition a network. In this paper, …

This work discusses network management laboratory design and implementation at the University of Wollongong in the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering in years of 2002 and 2003 for a final year specialisation subject called telecommunication network management for telecommunications engineering students. The design and implementation included that of a network management GUI incorporating the fundamental aspects and functionality of the simple network management protocol (SNMP). The operational code of the SNMP is based on freely available software (joesnmp). This paper outlines how joesnmp was used to develop a suitable network management GUI, which is used to develop laboratory …
