Utilizing smart beamforming antennas in contention-based wireless mesh networks has
proven to provide a significant increase in the network capacity. Nevertheless, their …

The throughput of wireless networks can be significantly improved by multi-channel
communications compared with single-channel communications since the use of multiple …

As the popularity of IEEE 802.11-based Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) grows, end users
of these environments demand better performance and quality of service (QoS). However …

In multi-hop infrastructure wireless mesh networks (WMNs), the association mechanism, by
which a client station (STA) affiliates with a mesh access point (MAP), and the routing …

The demand for QoS has made its support an essential component in today's wireless
networks. The use of directional antennas in multi-hop wireless networks is known to …

Many next generation applications (such as video flows) are likely to have associated
minimum data rate requirements in order to ensure satisfactory quality as perceived by end …

In this paper, we address the problem of QoS support in an heterogeneous single-radio
single-channel multi-rate wireless mesh network. We propose a new routing metric that …

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are comprised of nodes with multiple radio interfaces and
provide broadband residential internet access or connectivity to temporal events. Our goal is …

This article presents an integrated admission control and routing mechanism for multi-rate
wireless mesh networks. Admission control depends on precise estimates of available …

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have recently emerged as a technology for next-
generation wireless networking. WMNs partially replace wired backbone networks, and it is …
