Load Balancing and Mobility Management in Multi-homed Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

This version includes a concrete analysis and supporting simulation results on multi-homed Wireless mesh networks. This research is supported by the Ministry of MKE, Korea, under the "program for CITG" support program supervised by the NIPA (NIPA-2010-0004) and the KCC (Korea Communications Commission), Korea, under the R&D program supervised by the KCA(Korea Communications Agency) (KCA-2011-08913-05001).

Load Balancing Early Handoff Scheme for Multimedia Data Transmission in Wireless Networks

“…Studies of load balancing issues include changing different Internet gateways in a mesh network [22] and allowing the mobile device to migrate to the existing network when the new network is saturated [23]. In an IEEE 802.16j wireless network environment, a multi-hop relay can extend network coverage [24].…”

Load balancing early handoff scheme for multimedia service in wireless cellular networks

“…Studies of load balancing issues include Tran, Kim and Le [17], who proposed a scheme for balancing the load in a mesh network by altering different Internet gateways. Prapojjanaporn, Kittiwaytang and Aswakul [IS] evaluated the performance of heterogeneous wireless networking in new and existing networks in which overflow is prevented by allowing the mobile device to migrate to the existing network when the new network is saturated.…”
