Wireless Mesh Networks

This book collects articles featuring recent advances in the theory and applications of wireless mesh networking technology. The contributed articles, from the leading experts in the field, cover both theoretical concepts and system-level implementation issues. The book starts with the essential background on the basic concepts and architectures of wireless mesh networking and then presents advanced level materials in a step-by-step fashion.

Routing in Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless Mesh Networks

This book provides an in-depth look into recent advances in relation to novel design strategies and algorithms to improve performance and functionality of WMNs. Ten contributed chapters written by a group of well-known experts in wireless mesh networking are arranged in two parts. The first part of the book focuses on link scheduling schemes to select a subset of links for simultaneous transitions under interference constraints in an efficient and fair manner to guarantee a certain level of network connectivity. Besides, it describes channel assignment strategies to improve the network throughput in multi-radio multi-channel WMNs by means of an efficient channel utilization and minimization of the interference. The second part of the book addresses some important network planning issues related to efficient routing protocols in dynamic large-scale mesh environment, achievable capacity limit of a single wireless link between two multi-interface mesh nodes, the correctness of the mesh security architecture, fault-tolerant mesh network topology planning.
