چکیده
In this paper, we propose a novel optimization model to plan IEEE 802.11 broadband access networks. From a formal point of view, it is a mixed integer non-linear optimization model that considers both co-channel and inter-channel interference in the same compact formulation. It may serve as a planning tool by itself or to provide a performance bound to validate simpler planning models such as those in [3].

متن کاملAnalysis and Measurements of the Throughput in IEEE 802.11 Mesh Networks
It is well-known that the throughput of wireless mesh networks without frequency re-use decreases as O(1/N), where N is the number of nodes in the network. In this paper we build on this result and obtain expressions for calculating the throughput in IEEE 802.11-based mesh networks without interference. Both expressions for single-frequency and multifrequency mesh networks are obtained. We comp...
متن کاملTractable Computation of Optimal Schedules and Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks
Interference and collisions greatly limit the throughput of mesh networks that use contention-based MAC protocols such as 802.11. Significantly higher throughput is achievable if transmissions are scheduled. However, traditional methods to compute optimal schedules are computationally intractable (unless co-channel interference is neglected). This paper presents a tractable technique to compute...

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...

Many performance evaluations for IEEE 802.11distributed coordination function (DCF) have been previouslyreported in the literature. Some of them have clearly indicatedthat 802.11 MAC protocol has poor performance in multi-hopwireless ad hoc networks due to exposed and hidden nodeproblems. Although RTS/CTS transmission scheme mitigatesthese phenomena, it has not been successful in thoroughlyomit...
