چکیده
IEEE 802.11s wireless LAN mesh network technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless architecture. A WLAN mesh network consists of WLAN devices with relay functions that communicate directly. In this type of networks, path selection is based on two protocols: HWMP and RA-OLSR. This paper presents a detailed study of the performance of the proposed path selection algorithms for IEEE 802.11s WLAN mesh networks based on the current draft standard D1.08 from January 2008 under different scenarios to provide conditions of the applicability of the protocols.

IEEE 802.11s wireless mesh networks: Framework and challenges
Wireless mesh networking based on 802.11 wireless local area network (WLAN) has been actively explored for a few years. To improve the performance of WLAN mesh networks, a few new communication protocols have been developed in recent years. However, these solutions are usually proprietary and prevent WLAN mesh networks from interworking with each other. Thus, a standard becomes indispensable fo...

متن کاملValidation of the ns-3 802.11s model and proposed changes compliant to IEEE 802.11-2012
The correct implementation of the protocols and proper exchange of messages is very important for an easy comparison of the results of real measurements and network simulations. This work shows the validation of the ns-3 802.11s mesh module with respect to the actual IEEE Standard 802.112012 [3] and proposes changes which are needed to get the ns-3 implementation compliant to the actual standar...
متن کاملSecuring Layer-2 Path Selection in Wireless Mesh Networks
The current draft standard of 802.11s has defined routing for Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) in layer-2 and to differentiate from layer-3 routing, it termed layer-2 routing as path selection. The layer-2 path selection (LPS) mechanism is fully specified in the draft of IEEE 802.11s for WMNs. However, routing with security provision is not specified in the standard. Our study identifies that the ...
