Routing Protocols and Metrics used on Wireless Mesh Networks
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have and abundant number of routing protocols, some sources suggested that more than 70 protocols may exist. The existence of so many protocols can be attributed to the lack of standards which would define its operations. In this works we categorise and discuss the inner workings of proactive, reactive and hybrid routing protocols. Our discussions leads us to determine a few aspects that if already aren’t should part of the design paradigm for routing protocols designed for WMNs. Keywords-Routing Protocols, Metrics, Wireless mesh networks, design

Designing Routing Metrics for Mesh Networks
Designing routing metrics is critical for performance in wireless mesh networks. The unique characteristics of mesh networks, such as static nodes and the shared nature of the wireless medium, invalidate existing solutions from both wired and wireless networks and impose unique requirements on designing routing metrics for mesh networks. In this paper, we focus on identifying these requirements...
متن کاملRouting Protocols in Wireless Mesh Networks - a Comparison and Classification
Wireless Mesh Networks can give an answer for many open issues in the field of wireless networks. For WMN to be effective enough, it is required for a chosen routing protocol based on routing metrics that fits application needs to be used properly. Until now, many different routing protocols have been proposed. All of them have their own characteristics and there is no easy way to make any reli...
متن کاملA New Method based on Intelligent Water Drops for Multicast Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
In recent years a new type of wireless networks named wireless mesh networks has drawn the attention of researchers. In order to increase the capacity of mesh network, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi channel wireless mesh networks. Therefore, the main challenge of these networks is how to properly assign the channels to the radios. O...
متن کاملComparative Performance Analysis of AODV,DSR, TORA and OLSR Routing Protocols in MANET Using OPNET
Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are receiving a significant interest and are becoming very popular in the world of wireless networks and telecommunication. MANETs consist of mobile nodes which can communicate with each other without any infrastructure or centralized administration. In MANETs, the movement of nodes is unpredictable and complex; thus making the routing of the packets challenging....
متن کاملA Survey on Multicast Routing Approaches in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) which mediates the broadband Internet access, have been recently received many attentions by the researchers. In order to increase capacity in these networks, nodes are equipped with multiple radios tuned on multiple channels emerging multi radio multi-channel WMNs (MRMC WMNs). Therefore, a vital challenge that poses in MRMC WMNs is how to properly assign channels ...
