| Description | The architecture of WMN exhibits some unique characteristics (e.g., use of a shared wireless medium, stationary wireless nodes, heterogeneous traffic pattern, both access point and relay functionalities, and so on) that differentiate a WMN from other networks. A WMN architecture is composed of four different entities or network elements: Mesh Point Portal (MPP), Mesh Access Point (MAP), Mesh Point (MP) [9], and legacy nodes which are also called Mesh Client (MC). An MPP is a gateway node that connects the WMN to a wired infrastructure, possibly the Internet or other local networks. There can be multiple MPPs deployed in a WMN. An MP is a relay node responsible for relaying traffic to other MPs or MAPs, whereas an MAP performs both the functions of an MP and an access point. Therefore, a WMN is an emerging two-tier architecture, where WGs, MRs form the backbone (infrastructure) based on wireless multihop transmission, and MCs are connected to the MRs using the existing wireless LAN technologies; for example, 802.11 (WiFi). The backbone entities offer connectivity to the MCs by acting like access points, forming at the same time a self-organized wireless backbone. This backbone has two possible roles. It can be either a standalone network simply offering interclient connectivity or a local extension for the wired Internet if there are available connections between one or more MPPs. In both cases, the WMN's backbone is in charge of relaying all the traffic from/to MCs. Book Name: Security of Self-Organizing Networks |
