MRP: Wireless mesh networks routing protocol

Abstract

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are one of the few commonly implemented types of mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs); several companies offer WMNs for broadband Internet access and for extending the coverage of wireless local area networks. Several particularities differentiate WMNs from MANETs. First, in WMNs, most of the traffic originates or terminates at the gateways (nodes connected to the wired infrastructure/Internet). Second, in most applications, WMN nodes tend to be neatly differentiated as either stationary nodes (providing connectivity and coverage) or mobile nodes (utilizing the coverage afforded by the stationary nodes). While general MANET routing protocols can be used in WMNs, it is expected that a protocol that takes the particularities of WMNs into account will outperform the general protocol. In this paper, we propose such a routing protocol and evaluate its performance via simulations. We show that, for WMNs, the proposed routing protocol outperforms general purpose MANET protocols in terms of routing overhead, packet delivery ratio, throughput and delay.

Layer-wise Security Schemes with Secure Routing Protocol for Integrated UMTS and WLAN Ad Hoc Networks

“…QoS performances of integrated networks under wormhole adversary and different security schemes have been analyzed by seven metrics, namely: number of frames dropped by wormhole (WH), routing overhead, average packet loss, average throughput, average end-toend delay, average jitter and average hop-count [49]. This paper employs CBR background traffic in the QoS performance evaluation of integrated network under WHA.…”

Service and Computational Model of Intelligent Traffic Management Cloud Platform Constructed by Wireless Mesh Network

“…The optimal path calculated according to the weight should have the features including high data transfer rate, low packet loss rate, low interference, easy to implement etc. In Wireless Mesh Network, Hop-Count [6,7] , ETX [8,9] , ETT [10] and other parameters can be used as the weight of an edge. However, most of the parameters cannot reflect the characteristic of multiple channels, or fully utilize the bandwidth of the radio spectrum resources.…”

“…Our focus in section 3 is on how routing protocol chooses the most optimal path for large amounts of data to transmit, which is a core issue when constructing RAN. Hop-Count [6,7] , ETX [8,9] , ETT [10] and other parameters can be used to calculate the most optimal path. We analyzed and modified these parameters combining characteristics of ITMCP and at last proposed Revised Channel Interference Algorithm.…”

Analysis of Multicast Routing Protocols in Wireless Mesh Networks

“… Quality of Service (QoS): In addition to being supported by the medium access control (MAC) layer and the forwarding engine, selecting the ''best" routes for different traffic [18], QoS support is essential for supporting time critical traffic sessions [19].…”
