Load-balanced routing strategy for Internet-accessing oriented WMN
Yang Shou · Journal of the Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences · 2010
Mesh Gateways are destinations of data flows in Internet-accessing oriented WMN. The last-hop wireless links become bottleneck of WMN. Un-balanced data forwarding leads to lower capacity of the whole network,because it makes lower performance for some local areas. A new routing forwarding based on layer model is proposed in this paper. This strategy insures balance for upper-layer nodes using a balance factor. Capacity of whole WMN enhances accordingly. Simulation results indicate that compared with HWMP the layer routing can enhance the network capacity above 20% and management frame overhead is down to 40%.
