Mobile communications are driven by converged networks that integrate technologies and services. The wireless mesh environment is envisaged to be one of the key components in the converged networks of the future, providing flexible high-bandwidth backhaul over large geographical areas. Although single-radio mesh nodes operating on a single channel suffer from capacity constraints, multiradio mesh routers using multiple nonoverlapping channels can significantly alleviate the capacity problem and increase the aggregate bandwidth available to the network. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are anticipated to resolve the limitations and to significantly improve the performance of traditional wireless architectures. They will ...
