“…The backbone of WMNs consists of Mesh Routers (MRs), and the MRs are classified as Mesh Points (MPs), Mesh Access Points (MAPs), and Mesh Portals (MPPs or Gateways) according to their own function. In WMN backbone, the MP has a function of routing and forwarding, the MAP carries out an Access Point (AP) of wireless stations (STA) and the MPP operates as a gateway between the wired Internet and the WMNs [2]. The WMN backbone has load imbalance in the MPP which is connected to the wired Internet or in some MPs which are on the routing path.…”

In wireless mesh networks, it is known to be effective to use a TDMA based MAC than a contention-based CSMA. In addition, if spatial TDMA is used, network performance can be improved further because of its spatial reuse effect. However this scheme still has a disadvantage in the system performance aspect without a load-balanced routing because the resource of links that are not used is wasted and frequently used links are out of resources. That is, the number of available flows in network is limited because load balancing is not performed. In this paper, we propose joint link scheduling and routing through a cross-layer scheme. For this, we propose a load balancing routing method to maximize available resources under the given traffic pattern and scheduling method for maximizing link utilization on the given route. These two methods are iterated until an optimized solution can be obtained. The proposed algorithm can be formulated using a mathematical LP problem and we show that it is very effective for load balancing compared to simple adoption of IEEE 802.11s which is a standard TDMA protocol in wireless mesh network. If the proposed algorithm is applied to initial design solution such as Smart Grid, the number of available flows can be increased and the load on each link can be balanced.
