Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) promise to increase high-speed wireless property on the far side what's attainable with the present WiFi-based infrastructure. However, their distinctive field options leave them notably prone to security threats. During this article, we tend to describe numerous varieties of refined attacks launched from adversaries with internal access to the WMN. We tend to any ...

Wireless broadband networks based on the IEEE 802.11 technology are being increasingly deployed as mesh networks to provide users with extended coverage for wireless Internet access. These wireless mesh networks, however, may be deployed by different authorities without any coordination a priori, and hence it is possible that they overlap partially or even entirely in service area, resulting in...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh routers and mesh clients, where mesh routers have minimal mobility and form the backbone of WMNs. They provide network access for both mesh and conventional clients. The integration of WMNs with other networks such as the Internet, cellular, IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16, sensor networks, etc., can be accomplished through the gateway and bri...

Wireless mesh networks are the next step in the evolution of wireless architecture, deliveringservices for a large variety of applications in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan areas.Supporting multimedia services in wireless mesh networks is receiving more attention from theresearch community. While wired networks have mature infrastructure and protocols providingQoS for...

To participate in communication, a network node requires an address. In wired computer networks a node receives its address according to the hierarchical context. In contrast to wired networks, Wireless Mesh Networks have flat topology, since nodes are free to move and create highly changeable context. Besides, Wireless Mesh Networks should support mobility of nodes. By merging of hierarchical ...

Efficient Design of WiMAX/802. 1 6 Mesh Networks. Jad El-Najjar, Ph.D. Concordia University, 2010 Broadband wireless networks are becoming increasingly popular due to their fast and inexpensive deployment and their capabilities of providing flexible and ubiquitous Internet access. While the majority of existing broadband wireless networks are still exclusively limited to single hop access, it i...

The present layout of the indoor wireless mesh network test-bed build at the Meraka Institute is introduced. This is followed by a description of a numerical electromagnetic model for the complete test-bed, including the coupling and diffraction effects, as generated with WIPL-D Pro. The results of numerical simulations are compared with the measurements. The findings help to quantify errors an...

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the dominant reliable transport protocol utilized in the Internet. Improving the performance of TCP associated with the presence of multi-hop is one of the research challenges in wireless mesh networks. Wireless mesh networks have large round trip time variations and these variations are dependent on the number of hops. In wireless mesh network, when conge...
