[WLANware] GSOC

[ZioPRoTo (Saverio Proto)]

hello Cheng Zhenyu,

sorry for the late reply, we appreciated your email.

your background looks good. I think you have enough knowledge to try a
 GSoC with Freifunk.

please review the ideas page, we updated a lot during the last few days:
http://wiki.freifunk.net/Ideas

remember that the Ideas page is just a hint page for students that
want to submit their project idea to freifunk.
you can write a project based on one of our ideas, or you can have
your idea on wireless community networks. In the second case we are
going to provide a mentor based on what you write on your project
application.

you have time until April the 8th to submit your student application with us.

to do your student application just register on the google web site

> about wireless mesh network in the university lab for three months during my
> third year in college. My work mainly focused on different routing protocols
> for ad hoc network and network structure, especially Dynamic Source Routing
> and Ad Hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing protocols. I designed the
> simulation model for these two protocols on Network Simulation 2 and made
> detailed performance test and analysis.

> Networks. But there is something I do not quite catch. Does the software

> internal wireless mesh network. By using this software we can talk to each
> other without internet access as long as you can be found located in the
> same ad hoc network, even if you are not directly connected. When two people
> are not directly connected, they can also communicate by finding a path
> between each other. What I want to do is finding the best already-existed
> routing protocol by simulation and experiment and then using it in the
> talking software. This will obviously make people communicate more
> conveniently. I am eager to know what you’re thinking about this.
