ABSTRACT. Application deployment on Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is a challenging issue. First it requires communication abstractions that allow for interoperation with Internet applications and second the offered solution should be sensitive to the available resources in the underlying network. Loosely coupled communication abstractions, like publish/subscribe, promote interoperability, but u...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been expected to be the ul imate solution for the next decade wireless networking. The attractions of WMNs include easy set -up on the fly, off-the-shelf cost, flexible interoperability with other networks, and highly reliable connectivity. Because of these advantages over other wireless networks, WMNs are undergoing rapid development. However, research proble...

This paper addresses the interference and load imbalance problems in multi-radio infrastructure mesh networks where each mesh node is equipped with multiple radio interfaces and a subset of nodes serve as Internet gateways. To provide backbone support, it is necessary to reduce interference and balance load in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). In this paper, we propose a new Load-Aware Routing Met...
