Abstract
A wireless device receives a packet from a sender node according to a routing protocol and determines a position information of the sender node. The wireless device calculates a distance to the sender node from the wireless device and discards the packet if the distance is outside of a range. Otherwise, the packet is processed according to the routing protocol. As a result, the approach may be suited to testing type environments where the wireless devices are proximately placed and yet one may wish to simulate real-world distances between the wireless devices.
