Advances in Wireless Mesh Networks

The latest advances in the field of wireless mesh networks have been described in this profound book. It presents an insight into current developments related to new design techniques and algorithms to enhance performance and functionality of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). Information in this book has been contributed by reputed veterans in wireless mesh networking. The book highlights link scheduling schemes for selection of a subset of links for simultaneous transitions under interference restraints in an effective and appropriate manner to guarantee a specific level of network connectivity. It also elucidates channel assignment techniques for enhancement of network throughput in multi-channel multi-radio wireless mesh networks through effective channel utilization and minimization of the interference. The book addresses a few significant network planning issues regarding effective routing protocols in dynamic large-scale mesh environment, the accuracy of the mesh security architecture, attainable capacity limit of a single wireless link between two multi-interface mesh nodes and fault-tolerant mesh network topology planning.
