IEEE 802.11 based wireless mesh networks can exhibit severe fairness problem by distributing throughput among different flows originated from different nodes. Congestion control, Throughput, Fairness are the important factors to be considered in any wireless network. Flows originating from nodes that directly communicate with the gateway get higher throughput. On the other hand, flows originati...

Hybrid Wireless Mesh Network is a special case of infrastructural mesh network which utilizes heterogeneous wireless networks for communication. The integration of WMNs with other networks such as the Internet, cellular, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, sensor networks, etc., can be accomplished through the gateway and bridging functions in the mesh routers. An integrated security mechani...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are two-tier wireless multihop networks. The top tier is made of wireless routers, which provide access to the wireless clients in the bottom tier. One technology for enabling multi-hop communication in the top tier is IEEE 802.16, which includes a mesh mode, in addition to the Point-to-Multipoint mode for cellular networks. As is often the case with wireless netwo...

Abstract. Wireless Mesh network is widely adopted in both wideband mobile communication network and short distance RF industrial network. As for the latter field, network robustness and real-time are two important issues. Network dimensioning is therefore required for this kind of networks. We models wireless mesh network as four tuples and present a topology transform methodology to change the...

Achieving good performance in wireless mesh network (WMN), implementation of routing metrics is very important. Multiple channels among the multiple radio improve the capacity of the network. Interference based routing metric such as Weighted Cumulative Expected Transmission Time (WCETT), Weighted Cumulative Consecutive Expected Transmission Time (WCCETT), are being proposed in multi-channel mu...

Mesh networking employs Cisco Aironet 1500 Series outdoor mesh access points (APs) and indoor mesh APs (Cisco Aironet 1040, 1130, 1140, 1240, 1250, 1260, 2600, 3500e, 3500i, 3600e, and 3600i series APs) along with the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC), and Cisco Prime Infrastructure to provide scalable, central management and mobility between indoor and outdoor deployments. Control and Provis...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next generation wireless broadband networks showing rapid progress and inspiring numerous compelling applications. A WMN comprises of a set of mesh routers (MRs) and mesh clients (MCs), where MRs are connected to the Internet backbone through the Internet gateways (IGWs). The MCs are wireless devices and communicate among themse...

Mobile ad hoc networks are formed by co operative association of wireless nodes communicating with each other without the use of infrastructure. Every node acts as a router in the network and enables the communication between nodes that are separated over their radio range. Typically in ad hoc networks one or more nodes may act as gateway connecting to the external world. The node acting as the...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are attractively deployed as a backhaul for public Internet access with the advantages of network performance and cost efficiency. With the cooperation of multiple mesh nodes, a packet is transmitted through multi-hops to reach a destination. Wireless medium experiences relatively an unstable environment due to interferences of wireless signals. As traffic increase...
