%0 Journal Article %T Wireless Multi-hop Network Scenario Emulation with MinGenMax Error Based on Interval Equivalent Character of Wireless Communication %A Huizhou Zhao %J International Journal of Wireless and Microwave Technologies %D 2012 %I MECS Publisher %R 10.5815/ijwmt.2012.06.07 %X This paper proposes a novel approach to emulate an arbitrary wireless multi-hop network scenario in a fixed wireless test-bed, in which every node is equipped with a variable attenuator. We take notice of the interval equivalent character of wireless communication and consider the wireless multi-hop scenario emulation problem as an interval equivalent emulation problem. We define the generalized error, which is an error of a value relative to an interval, formulate the MinGenMax (Minimize Generalized Maximum) error problem and propose an optimum algorithm. %K Computer architecture %K wireless multi-hop network emulation %K minimize generalized maximum error %K interval equivalent %U http://www.mecs-press.org/ijwmt/ijwmt-v2-n6/v2n6-7.html
