“…Among few proposals concerning reliability of transmission in wireless networks, we can mention works related to routing issues addressing shared medium problems, or nodes mobility [23]. However, these approaches cannot be applied to WMNs in a straightforward manner due to remarkably different characteristics.…”

Wireless Mesh Networks, offering transmission rates of 1-10 Gb/s per a millimeter-wave link (utilizing the 71-86 GHz band) seem to be a promising alternative to fiber optic backbone metropolitan area networks because of significantly lower costs of deployment and maintenance. However, despite providing high transmission rates in good weather conditions, high-frequency wireless links are very susceptible to weather disruptions. In particular, heavy rain storms may lead to remarkable signal attenuation. In this paper, we introduce a new transmission technique for wireless mesh networks to mitigate the negative effects of link quality degradation due to rain storms. In particular, our method is the first one to use information on forecasted attenuation of links based on radar measurements to perform in advance the periodic updates of a network topology. Our approach is easily implementable in practice, since functionality of dynamic antenna alignment is currently offered by a number of equipment vendors. Other contributions of the paper include presentation of the ILP model of weatherresistant links formation problem followed by analysis of its computational complexity. Results of simulations, performed for three real scenarios of rain storms, show that our approach is very efficient in reducing the level of signal attenuation.

“…It assumes that network information periodically collected by the base station reflects the most recent network topology. However, research has shown [3,42,43] that even static WMN topology and routing paths are subject to change due to: a) link-quality variations caused by weather, noise and other radio signals, etc. ; b) mobility of clients and their requested services that result in changes of WMN routing paths; c) node failure (e.g., running out of power) or node replacement (e.g., administrative reasons) during network lifetime.…”

Due to the recent increased interest in wireless mesh networks (WMN), their security challenges have become of paramount importance. An important security mechanism for WMN, intrusion detection, has received considerable attention from the research community. Recent results show that traditional monitoring mechanisms are not applicable to real-world WMN due to their constrained resources (memory and processing power), which result in high false negative rates since only few IDS functions can be activated on monitoring nodes. Cooperative solutions, on the other hand, have high communication overhead and detection delay when traffic is high. A practical traffic-aware IDS solution was recently proposed for resource-constrained WMN, however, traffic-awareness might not be feasible for some WMN applications. This paper proposes a traffic-agnostic IDS solution that uses a link-coverage approach to monitor both local and backbone WMN traffic. Using real-world experiments and extensive simulations we show our proposed IDS solutions outperform traffic-aware IDS solutions while requiring lower computation and communication overhead.

A Wireless Mesh Network is defined as an infrastructure network working with in as ad hoc mode.In a multi-hop wireless mesh network, it is always preferable to choose a path with higher throughput between a pair of source /destination nodes to fully exploit the network capacity. Since Wireless Mesh Networks have emerged as a practical solution for the wireless extension of the broadband internet, finding high throughput path is important. This paper surveys the different routing approaches for wireless mesh network that using bandwidth as routing metric. It discusses the problem statement, approach and the result obtaining on these methods.
