Salah Abdulghani Alabady, Mohd Fadzli Mohd Salleh · Journal of Communications · 2013
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) introduce a new paradigm wireless broadband Internet access by providing high data service, scalability, and self-healing abilities at reduced high throughput for multi-cast applications (e.g. streaming broadcast) in WMNs is challenging due to the and the change of channel quality. To overcome issue, cross-layer has been proposed to improve the ormance of WMNs. coding is a powerful coding technique that has been to be the very effective in achieving the maximum multi-cast In addition to achieving the multi-cast network coding offers other benefits such as load and saves bandwidth consumption. This presents a review the fundamental concept types of medium access control layer, routing protocols, cross-layer and network for wireless mesh networks. Finally, a list of directions for further research is considered.
