Reliability Evaluation Based on Multipath Routing in WMN
He Ming, Hangping Qiu · 2009
In order to evaluate reliability of wireless mesh networks(WMN),a new method for evaluating network reliability based on multipath routing(MP-NRE) is proposed.High mobility and ratio of link failure are studied. Incidental multipath attenuation has influence on the network reliability.Experimental results show that network reliability is higher with disjoint path than with multipath routing in WMN,and link lifetimes may be relatively short compared to traffic flows.This is significant for WMN to improve network reliability and reduce end-to-end delay.
