Empirical analysis of the single-radio mesh architecture
Andres Arjona, Cédric Westphal, Sami Takala · 2007
Wireless mesh networks are being deployed to provide broadband wireless connectivity to city-wide hotspots. The most successful commercial architecture in these deployments thus far is a single-radio architecture: mesh nodes carry only one radio, which is used both to receive the traffic from the WiFi clients and to relay this traffic through the mesh to the wired internet gateway.
