| Abstract | Local area wireless networks are based on the cell topology: Clients associate to one of several access points, which are connected using a wired backbone. As high data rates are only available close to the access points, a dense infrastructure is needed. This results in high costs, especially for the installation of the wired backbone. A wireless mesh network can be used to reduce the deployment costs by connecting only few access points to the backbone; mesh nodes extend the coverage by forwarding data over wireless hops. Since the wireless medium has to be shared by the nodes, multi-hop traffic requires a high capacity. Hence, mechanisms which increase the system capacity in wireless mesh networks are needed. In this paper, we rate how much capacity can be gained by the introduction of spatial reuse. First, a system model of the wireless network is presented. This model includes a stochastic channel behavior and the signal strength/SINR requirements of a link. Additionally, the possibility of link adaption is incorporated. As the exact calculation of the system capacity using this model is NP-hard, we develop and survey heuristics that reduce the complexity. Then, we apply the developed algorithms to evaluate different spatial reuse strategies. An upper bound is given by a network controlled by a omniscient scheduling entity; a lower bound is provided by refraining from spatial reuse. The results show that under the assumptions of the models at least a capacity increase by a factor of two is feasible; under optimal conditions a 12-fold increase is possible. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
