Implementation of Ad Hoc Network management system based on embedded ARM-Linux platform

The management technology of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) has functions of monitoring, organizing and controlling communications services. Though the technology has gained great achievements in theory, its civil practical application is finite. One of the reasons is that MANETs are particularly difficult to manage due to the dynamic, heterogeneous and low-band-width connectivity. The Ad Hoc network management system in this paper is based on a novel network management mechanism and an improved embedded ARM-Linux terminal. The test shows that the system has managed the resource-restrained network on a small scale efficiently, which could carry out practical application of the Ad Hoc technology in the field of academic studies, military and commerce.
