Cross-Layer Routing and Mobility Management In
Wireless Mesh
Networks. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 136
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), a two-tier architecture
based on
Wireless Mesh Routers (WMR), has captured the
interest from both
academia and industry, because of their ability to
accommodate
both
Wireless ISPs and user requirements. Despite the
large amount of
research developed in this area, several issues still
need to be
solved. In this thesis we design an efficient
solution for multi-hop
wireless networks providing the following
contributions. First, we
design and formalize Mesh Routing Strategy (MRS), a
cross-layer
routing approach. MRS relies on simple heuristics
able to optimize
transmission power and route selection, resulting in
important
increase of the transport capacity of the mesh
backbone. Second, we
design and implement MeshDV, a routing framework
adapted to
WMNs,
which includes MRS and is also able to easily manage user
mobility. Third, we develop MeshDVbox, a custom WMR
built using
off-the-shelf components and deployed in our
laboratory to realize
a
WMN test-bed.
