An Optical / Wireless Integrated Approach to provide Multiple Gateways in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless Mesh Network is an application technology different from the traditional peer-to-peer wireless bridge; it provides the multi-hop and multi-path connection to form a wireless environment of MESH framework so that the occurrence of single point failure can be prevented.WMNs are to provide high bandwidth broadband service to a large community of users through the use Internet Gateways which acts as a central point of internet attachment for the mesh routers, it is likely to be a potential bottleneck because of its limited wireless link capacity and security considerations of the Internet Gateways .By integrating Optical fiber network technologies with wireless mesh network we can achieve the Security and increase the capacity of the network, in this paper we define integration models with multiple gateways in the access network, which increases the capacity of wireless networks, increase security in network gateways, and decreases access point complexity through centralized management.
