This study aims to present a joint solution of routing and fair resource allocation which in terms of OSI layered architecture belongs to two different layers but both cannot be considered as individual problems. The routing problem in WMNs is concerned with finding “good and optimum path” from source to destination. The objective of this research is to provide a new dynamic technique for efficient and reliable self-path utilization and provision of better and efficient way of handling issues of load balancing and congestion control in WMN. For fairness of resource allocation, this study presents the method of load balancing, where multiple paths to destination are used to distribute the traffic. These multiple paths are ultimately figured out using dynamic routing, which not only improves performance but also provides reliability, especially in presence of lossy channels. In this study we propose a Fairness Based Dynamic Routing Technique (FsBDRT) a dynamic routing mechanism to adapt an optimal path, as well as identification of lossy channel becomes due to congestion.
