| Abstract | 4Wireless mesh networking has emerged as a promising concept to meet the challenges in next-generation wireless networks such as providing flexible, adaptive, and reconfigurable architecture while offering cost-effective solutions to service providers. Several architectures for wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been proposed based on their applications [1]. One of the most general forms of WMNs interconnects the stationary and mobile clients to the Internet efficiently by the core nodes in multi-hop fashion. The core nodes are the mesh routers which form a wireless mesh backbone among them. The mesh routers provide a rich radio mesh connectivity which significantly reduces the up-front deployment cost and subsequent maintenance cost. They have limited mobility and forward the packets received from the clients to the gateway router which is connected to the backhaul network/Internet. The mesh backbone formed by mesh routers provides a high level of reliability. WMNs are being considered for a wide variety of applications such as backhaul connectivity for cellular radio access networks, high-speed metropolitan area mobile networks, community networking, building automation, intelligent transport system networks, defense systems, and citywide surveillance systems. Prior efforts on wireless networks, especially multi-hop ad hoc networks, have led to significant research contributions that range from fundamental results on theoretical capacity bounds to development of efficient routing and transport layer protocols. However, the recent work is on deploying sizable WMNs and other important aspects such as network radio range, network capacity, scalability, manageability, and security. There are a number of research issues in different layers of the protocol stack and a number of standards are coming up for the implementation of WMNs for WANs, MANs, LANs, and PANs. The mesh networking testbeds by industries and academia further enhanced the research in WMNs. The mesh networking products by different vendors are making WMNs a reality. |
