“…The smart directional antenna also has two types—a switched beam antenna and a steerable beam antenna. 13 In this article, we mainly consider the directional antenna based on a steerable beam. This type mainly steers its radiating pattern either electronically or mechanically to focus on an intended direction.…”

“…Recent studies in ad hoc networks have shown that directional antennas can significantly improve capacity relative to their omni-directional counterparts. [11][12][13] Technical advantages of directional antennas include extended transmission range, low interference, and low transmission power, making them attractive for static and quasi-static WMN. These current studies in WMN using directional antennas have not, however, considered the reliability and survivability requirement of topology.…”

Multi-radio and multi-channel wireless mesh networks using directional antenna (MR-MC DWMN) greatly improve the spatial reuse of wireless channels and increase network capacity. However, the number of directional radio interfaces in MR-MC DWMN affects topology reliability and survivability. This article focuses on the construction of robust topology with radio interface constraints in MR-MC DWMN. Because of the limitation of the number of directional radio interfaces, we first formulate this topology optimization problem with directional radio interface constraints to be equivalent to establish k-connected topology with node degree constraints and then propose a robust topology construction algorithm with directional radio interface constraint. We define the link weight based on node degree and then use graph theory to construct the robust topology with node degree constraints. The proposed constructing robust topology with directional radio interface constraint can not only establish k-connected topology but also minimize the maximum node degree and meet the requirement of radio interface constraints. Simulation shows that constructing robust topology with directional radio interface constraint obtains less maximum node degree and average path length than existing kconnected topology control algorithms under the limitation of directional radio interfaces. Moreover, the constructing robust topology with directional radio interface constraint achieves better network performance than other algorithms.

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a key technology for supporting a variety of application scenarios. Recently, it evolves toward a multi-radio multi-channel (MR-MC) WMN architecture, which can improve network performance by equipping each node with multiple radio interfaces and by using multiple non-overlapping channels. This evolution poses new challenges on network design. Specifically, topology control (TC), one of the fundamental research topics in WMNs, has also received extensive attention in MR-MC WMNs. This article presents an overview of TC mechanisms in the existing literature with emphasis on the mutual dependence of TC on other networking issues such as power control, channel assignment, routing, and directional antennas.
