In our daily life, we are increasingly relying on connected systems ranging from smart health care devices to industrial and intelligent transportation systems, as well as smart homes and cities. The unavailability or malfunctioning of these systems could threaten human life, cause environmental damage, and significant financial loss. To prevent such large scale and mission-critical systems from malfunctioning, it is of utmost importance to establish and guaranty reliable connections to attain a dependable networked system. Generally, mesh networking technologies are used for building such systems since mesh networks provide the best performance characteristics regarding fault-tolerance, throughput, resource usage, and service level flexibility.
