Design & Implementation of IEEE 802.11s Mesh Nodes with Enhanced Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the implementation of wireless mesh nodes based on the IEEE 802.11s draft where the motivation is to build a real life mesh network. The mesh nodes developed have mesh, mesh access point and mesh portal functionalities simultaneously. The mesh nodes use different radios for mesh and access point functionalities, thus giving better service to client stations. Both reactive and proactive modes of HWMP are supported. The paper also suggests some measures to enhance the performance of the overall network by reducing the number of PREQs. Keywords-IEEE 802.11s, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP).

Under the scope of improving the network performances in Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), a cross-layer design concerning channel allocation and routing algorithms is needed. IEEE 802.11 standard provides at least three non overlapping channels and thus, the possibility for the network in general and a node in particular, equipped with more than one network interface card (NIC), to operate on diffe...
