In this paper we present a new extension to proactive routing protocols using a fast mobility extension, FastM, with the purpose of increasing handover performance in wireless mesh networks. With this new extension a new concept is created to integrate information between neighbor wireless mesh routers, managing locations of clients associated to wireless mesh routers in a certain neighborhood, and...
The advances on wireless mesh networks are shifting the communications paradigm, where users can benefit from their cooperation to exchange information and make use of the spectrum space, forming wireless neighbourhood communities where resources are shared and services are distributed. This paper presents a modular cross-layer community management architecture, which considers that communities are...
Wireless mesh networks, due to their typical architecture and deployment, are able to respond to user expectations as no other technology allows. Its typical multi-level approach facilitates local interactions by nearby wireless nodes from multiple users. Also, adaptation to user expectations on a dynamic manner is able to of further enhancing the capacity of these networks, while increasing its ubiquity...
Wireless technologies present many benefits when used to deploy metropolitan networks. Resilience, cost, adaptability and self-organization are some of the benefits provided by Wireless Networks. Especially when mesh technologies are used, wireless networks are adequate for the deployment of (user-centric) community networks. The increased participation of users and the social relations existing among...
The fourth generation (4G) network paradigm has long been sought. A user-centric vision for such "always best connected" next-generation 4G networks is neighborhood wireless mesh networks (WMNs). In this context, the vision for the formation of WMNs reflects the trade-off between the immediate self-interest of the user, and the user's need for social contacts. Notably, users would be required...
