The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) and the associated IEEE 802.11s standard have attracted an enormous amount of research in the wireless research community for the past few years. Nevertheless, WMN architecture has not received much needed attention compared to other topics in this area of research. Based on topological differences, various network architectures are possible for WMN, and we belie...

With rapid developments of inexpensive small-sized communication devices and high-speed network technologies, the Internet has increasingly become the important medium for a lot of people in daily lives. People can access to a variety of information, data, and services that have been provided through the Internet, in addition to their personal communications. This progress of the Internet utili...

Wireless communication is very extensively used in the current world and we are rapidly moving to a hands-free swift world. Even with the arrival of advancements at such a rate in the wireless world, The Wireless Mesh Networks generally uses the AODV routing protocols to handle the traffic flow in the Mesh network. But our proposed routing protocol can securely discover the route between the pa...

<span>Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a new trend in wireless communication promising greater flexibility, reliability, and performance over traditional local area (WLAN). Test bed analysis emulation plays an essential role valuation of software defined node mobility the prominent feature next generation network. In this study, models employed for moving mobile stations are explored. Moreo...

In this paper we consider a Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) integrating SDN principles. The Wireless Mesh Routers (WMR) are OpenFlow capable switches that can be controlled by SDN controllers, according to the wmSDN (wireless mesh SDN) architecture that we have introduced in a previous work. We consider the issue of controller selection in a scenario with intermittent connectivity. We assume that o...

In this paper we propose an efficient discovery mechanism to select the best mobile gateway in wireless mesh networks (WMN’s). Our proposed scheme is based on mobile gateway learning mechanism, in which mobile gateways allow routers to discover them efficiently with minimal packet loss and packet delay. Simulation results have shown enhanced performance and throughput with minimal packet loss a...

In this work we investigate the issue of automated design of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). The general scenario we envision is that of constructing WMNs with WLAN as clients and a mesh network to provide inter-WLAN as well as gateway connectivity. Our main aim in this work is to a) design capacityconstrained WMNs, b) build resilient WMNs with transient demands.

Wireless mesh networks have the potential to deliver Internet broadband access, wireless local area network coverage and network connectivity for stationary or mobile hosts at low costs both for network operators and customers. The core technology involves a network of wireless routers relaying each others’ packets in a multihop fashion. Many variations on targeted applications and implementati...
