Recent developments on the directional antennas have given a new dimension to revisit the problem of how to design more efficient topology formation and control protocols for a wireless mesh network (WMN). The WMN can be thought as the commercial extension of mobile ad hoc networks, forming a wireless multi-hop backbone network with static nodes such as mesh routers. Topology control is required by...
Enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA), a medium access function of the IEEE 802.11e, has been suggested for applying in the IEEE 802.11 based wireless mesh network (WMN). The block acknowledgement (block ACK) feature of EDCA can be applied for the communication between the WMN nodes to overcome overheads by reducing the number of control packets for multiple data transmission. However, using...
In this paper we propose a distributed channel assignment protocol (DCAP) for topology formation in the IEEE 802.11 based wireless mesh network. The non-overlapping channels are assigned to the network interfaces according to the simple heuristics (such as degree and node-ID) with the goals to enable connectivity and reduce interference in the network. Ns-2 simulation results are presented and compared...
