چکیده
Combining the advantages of WLANs and ad hoc networks, wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are wireless access networks based on IP technologies and have become effective broadband access networks with high capacity, high speed and wide coverage. Security is a crucial and urgent problem in WMNs as in other types of networks and a simple and effective distributed key management is essential for the establishment of secure WMNs. In this paper, we present an effective distributed key management scheme based on several technologies, such as ad hoc network model, ECC, (t, n) threshold cryptographic method, verifiable secret sharing and so on, and demonstrate its effectiveness through analysis and experiment.

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 ...
متن کاملA Novel Multicast Tree Construction Algorithm for Multi-Radio Multi-Channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Many appealing multicast services such as on-demand TV, teleconference, online games and etc. can benefit from high available bandwidth in multi-radio multi-channel wireless mesh networks. When multiple simultaneous transmissions use a similar channel to transmit data packets, network performance degrades to a large extant. Designing a good multicast tree to route data packets could enhance the...
