Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as a promising technology because of their wide range of applications. Wireless mesh networks wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are dynamically self – organizing, self – configuring, self – healing with nodes in the network automatically establishing an adHoc network and maintaining mesh connectivity. Because of their fast connectivity wireless mesh networ...

Nowadays wireless sensor networks have found their way into a wide variety of applications and systems with vastly varying requirements and characteristics, but all of them have a common element: faults are a normal fact and not isolated events as in traditional networks. Thus, in order to guarantee the network quality of service, it is essential for the sensor network to be able to detect and ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) represent complex distributed systems that comprise wireless mobile nodes that can freely and dynamically self organize into arbitrary and temporary ad hoc network topologies. A mobile ad hoc network is a collection of nodes that is connected through a wireless medium forming rapidly changing topologies. The widely accepted existing routing protocols designed to a...

Body area networks is one of the types of wireless area networks which has been created to optimize utilizing hospital resources and for earlier diagnosis of medical symptoms, and ultimately to reduce the cost of medical care. This network like most of the wireless networks is without infrastructure and the embedded sensor nodes in the body have limited energy. Hence, the early power completion...

With great potentials in a large number of application fields, ad hoc and sensor networks have been undergoing a revolution that promises a significant impact on society. Unlike traditional fixed infrastructure networks, there are no centralized controls over wireless ad hoc networks, which consist of a collection of devices equipped with wireless communication and networking capability. Any co...

The concept of self-organization defined as global behavior emerging from local interactions [1] is applied to multihop wireless networks. Because of their specific constraints, selforganizing solutions for ad-hoc networks can not be applied as such to Wireless Sensor Networks. Solutions for ad-hoc networks often include some form of clustering. Yet, building and maintaining such a structure se...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) have emerged as a potential technology to quickly deploy a wireless infrastructure that is selfhealing, self-configured, and self-organized. This report makes an introduction to WMNs, their protocols and some existing deployments. Then the problem of monitoring the operation of these networks, is addressed by making a brief survey on some relevant network monitoring...

Wireless mesh networks o er many advantages in terms of connectivity and reliability. They provide multiple paths between nodes and are self healing. Traditionally, wireless mesh networks were used with nodes equipped with a single radio. There are however, limitations in single radio wireless mesh networks, such as lower throughput and its limited use of the available wireless channels. This r...
