Questions for tests in the CONFINE testbed

Testname	Description	Indoor (I)/Outdoor (O)	Requirements	Proposed by
noise-level	Use all Wifi cards to measure the noise level in a city wide mesh network. Aggregate the data. Average over time. The idea is to create a baseline of measurements which serve as a comparison for other measurements	O	identical Wi-Fi cards in each outdoor router	aaron (FF)
better metrics	first start of with the current default OLSR metric, then successively implement and test different metrics which factor in SNR, biterror rate, bandwidth capacity, latency, packetloss, compare these metrics and chart them against each other. Compare the metric measurements by "optimal routing" (i.e. max flow; max-flow implemented by manual setting of routes). Compare with literature and compare why which measurement in the scientific literature produced different results	O	reasonably dispersed outdoor network, different Wi-Fi cards, different HW, multi-channel nodes	aaron (FF)
auto-freq-selection	compare different frequency planning- and -selection algorithms from literature. Implement them and test them and compare them. Compare against maximum theoretical throughput	O	reasonably dispersed outdoor network, different Wi-Fi cards, different HW, multi-channel nodes	aaron (FF)
evaluate-multicast	compare different multicast plugins from literature. Test them and compare them.	I	test result should give advice if a general deployment is feasible and useful.	Matthias Šubik (FF)
