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...

Wireless mesh networks are potentially vulnerable to a broad variety of attacks. Hence security is an important consideration for the practical operation of wireless mesh networks. Within security, intrusion detection is the first line of defense in wireless networks as well as wired networks. Unfortunately, wireless mesh networks presents additional challenges due to their decentralized nature...

−Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN’s) are achieving swiftly developing focus in current years, and are commonly recognized as an advanced option for nest era wireless networks. Contrasted with regular wireless and mobile networks, eg. Wi-Fi based wireless networks and mobile IP networks, WMN’s have the advantages of low price, easy implementation, self organization and self healing, and being compati...

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are two-tier wireless multihop networks. The top tier is made of wireless routers, which provide access to the wireless clients in the bottom tier. One technology for enabling multi-hop communication in the top tier is IEEE 802.16, which includes a mesh mode, in addition to the Point-to-Multipoint mode for cellular networks. As is often the case with wireless netwo...
