“…These challenges go far beyond the solution of some "problems". We have introduced users' management, multi-gateway support and novel Multi-Point Relay (MPR) selection methods in Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) [8,15], and changed address management and distribution in B.A.T.M.A.N. [17], but these will not transform a WCN into a UWCN.…”

Is a different (from the global Internet and Cellular Networks) model for urban communications and networking conceivable? Can Community Networks, now flourishing in many parts of Europe and the world, be the next 'big thing' in networking, for once considering the needs of people and urban evolution as a key element, and not as a side effect of technology or business? This paper discusses recent evolutions of Community Networks in Urban Areas, blending the technical analysis of their topology and evolution, together with grand challenges ahead and the need for a novel, transdisciplinary science that can guide the design of the future communication space for smart cities and beyond.

“…This is not possible with a Layer-2 routing protocol because the concept of address aggregation is missing. Moreover, announcing network prefixes makes it difficult to support seamless handovers (see [14] for an explanation and possible solution). This paper focuses on defining a new mechanism for client announcement for Layer-2 routing protocols, where client IDs are normally the MAC addresses and therefore it is not possible to aggregate them.…”

Research in Wireless Mesh Networking has been very active in the past years, with the birth of several new ideas and the protocols that implement them. Most common implementations rely on Layer-3 addressing and routing; however 802.11s and other successful protocols suggest that Mesh Networking on Layer-2 address space is more efficient, does not mingle with the global IP routing, and provides easier ways to support micromobility as well as client management. This paper focuses on the client announcement protocol, i.e., the functionality, somewhat embedded between Layer-2 and Layer-3, that allows routers in a mesh network to announce the clients they are serving and that in practice makes the entire routing protocol work correctly. In particular, it focuses on B.A.T.M.A.N.-Advanced, analyses the shortcomings of the simple implementation of this functionality present until v.2011.2.0 and defines the new protocol and algorithms that we have implemented and are part of the distribution starting from v.2011.3.0. Experiments in controlled scenarios show how performance increases dramatically even in scenarios designed specifically to stress the new protocol. The new mechanism and improved performance make it possible to design new features for B.A.T.M.A.N.-Advanced, most notably the support for fast and seamless handover, which is currently under testing.
