Nowadays, decentralized and dynamically changing mobile networks are mostly studied in works related to FANETs and VANETs, but such networks are not designed for controlling, monitoring and providing Internet access end-to-end continuously. We are studying networks which require reliable and high-bandwidth Internet access. The network in consideration is organized using IEEE 802.11 mesh topology where each node is a heavy industrial equipment. Each node operates on area about 3 km diameter, either can forward traffic or can be a traffic source. For such network effective routing protocol is required. But to design such protocol one should discover network topological parameters. This paper is dedicated to such parameters discovering using experiments in real environment.
