Wireless mesh network (WMN) research is an emerging field in network communications. However, WMNs pose several difficulties in the transmission of information, especially time critical applications such as streaming video and audio. In this paper, we provide an overview of several research papers which utilize mesh networks for streaming multimedia. We compare the results of the research and t...

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...

Since wireless mesh networks are ad-hoc in nature, many routing protocols used for ad-hoc networks like AODV are also used for wireless mesh networks by considering only the shortest route to destination. Since data transfer in wireless mesh networks is to and from the AP, these protocols lead to congested routes and overloaded APs. To reduce congestion, the routing protocols such as traffic ba...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are consist of mesh routers. Mesh routers are built with multiple radios for improving capacity of network with the assignment of different frequency bands (channels). Establishment of routing is very important for getting good output or achieving good performance in multi radio wireless networks. In this paper we have proposed Weighted Cumulative Consecutive Confl...

Wireless mesh networks based on IEEE 802.11 technology are a scalable and efficient solution for next generation wireless networking to provide wide-area wideband internet access to a significant number of users. The deployment of these wireless mesh networks may be within different authorities and without any planning, they are potentially overlapped partially or completely in the same service...

The specification of network connectivity model or topology is the beginning of design and analysis in Computer Network researches. Wireless Mesh Networks is an autonomic network that is dynamically self-organised, self-configured while the mesh nodes establish automatic connectivity with the adjacent nodes in the relay network of wireless backbone routers. Researches in Wireless Mesh Networks ...

Wireless mesh networks are a promising area for the deployment of new wireless communication and networking technologies. In this paper, we address the problem of enabling effective peer-to-peer resource sharing in this type of networks. Starting from the well-known Chord protocol for resource sharing in wired networks, we propose a specialization (called MESHCHORD) that accounts for peculiar f...

Wireless mesh networks are being deployed to provide broadband wireless connectivity to city-wide hotspots. The typical architecture in these deployments thus far is a single-radio architecture: mesh nodes carry only one radio, which is used both to receive the traffic from the clients and to relay this traffic through the mesh to the wired Internet gateway.In this paper, we study the performan...

Security and Resilience has become an important concern in the security design and architecture of future wireless networking technologies like Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) [1, 2]. Network operators and service providers consider mesh networking to be a serious candidate to solve the so called “last mile problem” based on their wider coverage than traditional wireless LANs and their lower deplo...

Abstract – Wireless Mesh networks exploit multi-hop wireless communications between Access Points to replace wired infrastructure. However, in multi-hop networks, effective bandwidth decreases with increasing number of hops, mainly due to increased spatial contention. Longer hop length flows suffer from extremely low throughputs which is highly undesirable in the envisioned scenarios for mesh n...
