Over the last decade, the paradigm of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) has matured to a
reasonably commonly understood one, and there has been extensive research on various …

Multi-hop infrastructure wireless mesh networks offer increased reliability, coverage and
reduced equipment costs over their single-hop counterpart, wireless LANs. Equipping …

An ad hoc network allows devices with wireless interfaces to communicate with each other
without any pre-installed infrastructure. Due to node mobility, limited radio power, node …

This book provides a comprehensive yet easy coverage of ad hoc and sensor networks and
fills the gap of existing literature in this growing field. It emphasizes that there is a major …

The placement of mesh routers (MRs) in building a wireless mesh network (WMN) is the first
step to ensure the desired network performance. Given a network domain, the fundamental …

This paper presents a novel algorithm for the gate 瑆 ay placement problem in Backbone
Wireless Mesh Networks (BWMNs). Different from existing algorithms, the new algorithm …

In a wireless mesh network (WMN), the traffic is aggregated and forwarded towards the
gateways. Strategically placing and connecting the gateways to the wired backbone is …

In this paper novel optimization models are proposed for planning Wireless Mesh Networks
(WMNs), where the objective is to minimize the network installation cost while providing full …

Enterprise wireless local area networks (WLANs) that consist of a high-density of hundreds
to thousands of access points (APs) are being deployed rapidly in corporate offices and …

In multi-hop cellular networks, data packets have to be relayed hop by hop from a given
mobile station to a base station and vice-versa. This means that the mobile stations must …
