  7. Related Work • “Wireless Mesh Networks: A Survey” [AWW05] The author presented many open research issues needed to be solved such as scalability, self-organization and self-configuration, security, network integration. The critical factors influencing protocol design were discussed for improvement objectives. • “The Nominal Capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks” [JS03] The authors shown that for WMNs the throughput of each node decreases as O(1/n), where n is total number of nodes in the network. Moreover, for a given topology and the set of active nodes, the upper bounds on the throughput of any node can be exactly calculated. • “Capacity of Grid-Oriented Wireless Mesh Networks” [ANMK08] The author presented an analytical framework for determining the nominal capacity of multi-radio multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). As the research conclusion, the effects of WMN design parameters such as network topology, network size, routing methods, channel assignment schemes etc. are interlinked and a judicious selection is essential to maximize capacity.

  8. Related Work (2) • “Architecture and Algorithms for an IEEE 802.11-based Multi-channel Wireless Mesh Network” [RC05] The author proposed a novel multi-channel WMN architecture that effectively addresses the bandwidth problem by fully exploiting non-overlapped radio channels that the IEEE 802.11 standards make available. • “Multi-Channel Mesh Networks: Challenges and Protocols” [KSCV06] The authors considered the use of multi-channel to improve the throughput of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN). The main challenges were highlighted and two link-layer protocols were presented for utilizing multiple channels • “Coverage and capacity of a wireless mesh network” [HWC05] The authors proposed a scalable multi-channel ring-based WMN architecture and developed an analytical framework to evaluate the capacity and coverage of such a network. Masters Thesis Philip Huynh Spring 2011

  9. Related Work (3) • “The IEEE 802.11s Extended Service Set Mesh Networking Standard” [CK08] The author presented how the developing IEEE 802.11s ESS Mesh Networking Standard draft addresses technical challenges of the pervasive development of wireless mesh networks (WMNs), the efficient allocation of mesh resources (routing and MAC layers), the protection of network resources (security and power savings), and the elimination of spatial bias (congestion control). • “An Improved IEEE 802.16 WiMAX Module for the ns-3 Simulator” [IPGT10] The authors presented the new features and enhancements that were integrated within the ns-3 WiMAX module. These proposed features can make easier and more realistic the evaluation and design of WiMAX systems. Masters Thesis Philip Huynh Spring 2011
