Now a day’s Wireless communication plays an important role in many of the user applications. Many of these applications follow either unicast or multicast routing protocol for their communication. In wireless mesh networks multicast routing protocol is mostly adopted as we can send more data packets to multiple places at the same time. So it is more important to understand and evaluate routing ...

Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are taking a big step forward to productive deployments. Heterogeneous WSNs are gaining importance. Complex problem settings consisting of different environmental conditions require specific sensor nodes for the individual tasks resulting in heterogeneous networks. As the different types of sensor nodes may be incompatible, a more general management architecture ...

of thesis entitled: Characterizing Interference in Wireless Mesh Networks Submitted by HUI, Ka Hung for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in August 2007 The relationship between interference and capacity has been a main focus in the study of wireless mesh networks. To find out the capacity of a wireless mesh network, we have to accurately model the interf...

This paper will summarize the technologies and challenges related to wireless mesh networks. With the latest technologies in wireless LAN with WPA and 802.11i, enterprise deployments have finally begun to embrace wireless access networks. Wireless LAN technology has often been approached cautiously in enterprise deployments, partly due to well-known and easily exploitable attacks on early 802.1...

Unfortunately, current standards and protocols of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are severely inadequate to achieve the architectural design goals of wireless backbone mesh networks because they do not meet evolving network performance and cost requirements. Optimal placement of gateways provides acceptable network bandwidth for mesh users with reasonable investment costs. The focus in this pape...

Wireless mesh networks have seen a real progress because of their implementation at a low cost. Thus, the planning of such networks presents many challenges for network operators. Our aim in this paper is to provide a new solution to the planning problem using a multi-objective optimization approach. Refer ences I. F. Akyildiz, X. Wang, and W. Wang, "Wireless mesh networks: a survey",...

As we know the wireless mesh network is playing a vital role in today’s network infrastructure. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have achieved significant development because of fast deployment, easy maintenance and low investment compared with traditional wireless networks. The structure of WMN consists of base stations, distribution system (backbone), links and the mobile stations. The issue is ...

Wireless mesh network is the key technology for present generation in wireless networking for providing fast and hassle free services to users. The conformity of Wireless Mesh Networks to offer Internet connectivity is becoming a popular choice for Wireless Internet Service Providers, as it allows a flexible, easy and inexpensive network deployment. However, these networks are prone to critical...

Wireless mesh networks are a cost-efficient means to provide ubiquitous Internet access. Large-scale wireless mesh networks may use multiple access networks. Depending on the routing protocol, a node may not know over which of these access networks it is communicating. In this paper, we propose a routing protocol-independent method that allows nodes to (i) determine when they are switching the ...

Stream control has recently attracted attentions in the research of MIMO wireless networks as a potential way to improve network capacity. However, inappropriate use of stream control may significantly degrade network capacity as well. In this paper, we provide the first formal study on stream control scheduling in MIMO wireless mesh networks. We derive the theoretical upper bound on network ca...
