With the increasing use of wireless sensor networks in industrial settings, a new type of network topology, mesh networks, has emerged in today's market. The success of wireless networks in every field has made wireless networks, an emerging key technology for the next generation wireless networking. The various features of wireless mesh networks have attracted the research community, which led...

A viral broadband network is a community based wireless mesh, which grows organically and utilizes the aggregate resources of the users in order to provide broadband Internet access. Effectively, the users themselves are turned into service providers, leveraging the network access of the subset of the user population. We present the case for viral broadband in the socioeconomic context of broad...

In this paper the Quality of Service Issues in Wireless Mesh Networks has been described. Several access points may be put into wireless Ad Hoc networks for people connecting to WWW or other Internet services. This kind of wireless network is called wireless mesh networks (WMNs).. Quality of service is largely lacking. For improving the performance of QoS in face of unreliable wireless medium, ...

A Wireless mesh network is a wireless communication between different nodes which are dynamically self-organized and self-configured. The nodes in the network automatically establishing an ad-hoc network and maintaining the mesh connectivity, nodes communicate with each other by forwarding data packets to other nodes in the network. Thus the nodes find a path to the destination node using routi...

We propose a novel hybrid optical wireless access network architecture that is designed for highly populated metropolitan area. This hybrid access network consists of an optical grid network providing broadband backhauling, and many wireless mesh networks penetrating into the neighborhoods to provide low cost, ubiquitous links. This hybrid access network architecture is scalable and flexible en...

A wireless mesh network can be seen as a special type of wireless ad-hoc network. A wireless mesh network often has a more planned configuration, and may be deployed to provide dynamic and cost effective connectivity over a certain geographic area Wireless mesh networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. In wireless mesh network security of network is one of most concerne...

Network coding has been widely acknowledged as an effective approach to improve the throughput of wireless mesh networks (WMNs) and a few network coding based routing algorithms for wireless mesh networks have been proposed. This paper investigates the state of the art of network coding based routing algorithms for WMNs that exploits network coding in routing algorithms. In addition, the taxono...

In wireless mesh networks, the routing of packets from source to destination is crucial and challenging task. The wireless mesh networks find applications in disaster management, video on demand, intelligent, health care systems, etc. Various routing protocols exist in literature to improve the efficiency of the wireless mesh networks calculated in terms of reliability, cost, throughput, error ...

Wireless mesh networks have been attracting many users in recent years. By connecting base stations (mesh nodes) with wireless connections, these network can achieve a wide-area wireless environment with flexible configuration and low cost at the risk of radio interference between wireless links. When we utilize wireless mesh networks as infrastructures for Internet access, all network traffic ...
