Few real-world applications of mobile ad hoc networks have
been developed or deployed outside the military environment, and
no traces of actual node movement in a real ad hoc network have
been available. In this paper, we propose a novel commercial application
of ad hoc networking, we describe and evaluate a multitier
ad hoc network architecture and routing protocol for this
system, and we document a new source of real mobility traces to
support detailed simulation of ad hoc network applications on a
large scale. The proposed system, which we call Ad Hoc City, is a
multitier wireless ad hoc network routing architecture for general-purpose
wide-area communication. The backbone network in this
architecture is itself also a mobile multihop network, composed of
wireless devices mounted on mobile fleets such as city buses or
delivery vehicles. We evaluate our proposed design through simulation
based on traces of the actual movement of the fleet of city
buses in the Seattle, Washington metropolitan area, on their normal
routes providing passenger bus service throughout the city.
