Industrial wireless applications have stringent requirements of safety, data update rate, time delay, reliability, failure tolerance, and security. In this paper, a concept of cell-based mesh networks is proposed, and the performance is evaluated by computer simulations. The results show that the average number of hops from sensor nodes to the backbone routers and the average route cost are significantly...
