Throughput of mesh network based on L-hop routing strategy
Jia Xiao-de · 2006
Wireless mesh networks are an alternative technology for last-mile broadband Internet access.In wireless mesh networks,it is similar to ad hoc networks,each user node operates not only as a host but also as a router;user packets are forwarded to and from all gateway in multihop fashion.The throughput of wireless mesh networks is constrained by the bandwidth of gateway.This paper organizes the ad hoc traffic based on the adjacency of each node itself instead of the gateway,and proposes an L-hop strategy in order to obtain the improved spectrum efficiency.The throughput of proposed wireless mesh networks is studied.
