This paper presents a wireless mesh network testbed based on ESP8266 devices using painlessMesh library. It evaluates its feasibility and potential effectiveness as solution to monitor perishable goods, such fresh fruit vegetables, which are often stored transported inside refrigerated containers. Performance testing experiments with different numbers of nodes traffic loads message payload size...

Wireless mesh networks are a promising technology for providing last-mile broadband wireless Internet to a large number of users spread across large geographical regions. Due to their peculiar limitations and the increasing demand of users for high performance (high throughput, low delays etc), mesh networks have attracted the attention of researchers world-wide. Towards this goal, this dissert...

The classical approach of radio planning in wireless access networks is often tailored as a set covering problem. Such approach is no longer suited for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), where, beside the problem of covering clients, also the wireless network topology must be planned and the traffic must be routed on wireless links towards mesh access points. In this paper we propose novel optimiza...

A new routing protocol called Scalable Energy Efficient Ad-hoc on Demand Distance Vector (SEE-AODV) having good scalable properties and energy efficient than existing Ad hoc on Demand Distance (AODV) routing protocol in wireless mesh networks has been proposed in this paper. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh routers have minimal mobility and form...

Wireless mesh network is an advanced form of wireless network. A wireless mesh network provides a better solution to problems that often arise in cellular and WLAN. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are receiving increasing demand as an effective solution to deploy ISP’s wireless last mile access, such as wireless enterprise backbone networks and other applications. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) pr...
