In a mesh network, each node acts as a router/repeater for other nodes in the network. These nodes can be fixed pieces of network infrastructure and/or can be the mobile devices themselves. In such networks, because of the heterogeneous transmission range of the clients and routers, link asymmetry problem exists. Link asymmetry poses several challenges such as the unidirectional link problem, t...

Due to the coexistence of different Radio Access Technologies (RATs), Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWN) are predicted to be heterogeneous in nature. The coexistence of different RATs requires a need for Common Radio Resource Management (CRRM) to support the provision of Quality of Service (QoS) and the efficient utilization of radio resources. RAT selection algorithms are part of the CRR...
