About this title

Synopsis

The book includes a set of research and survey articles featuring the recent advances in theory and applications of wireless mesh networking technology which will be a significant component in the next generation (e.g., fourth generation) mobile communication networks. The book provides a unified view of the state-of-the-art achievements in the field. The contributed articles from the leading experts in this field cover both the theoretical concepts (e.g., information-theoretic analysis) and system-level implementation issues. The book starts with the essential background on the basic concepts and architectures of wireless mesh networking (through one/two survey articles), and then it presents advanced level materials in a step-by-step fashion so that the readers can follow the book easily. The rich set of references in each of the articles are invaluable to the researchers.

From the Back Cover

Wireless Mesh Networks provides a unified view of the state-of-the-art achievements in the area of protocols and architectures for wireless mesh networking (WMN) technology. With contributions from leading experts in the field, the book covers aspects of analysis, design, deployment, and optimization of protocols and architectures for WMNs. In particular, the topics include challenges and issues in designing architectures and protocols for WMNs, medium access control and routing protocols for WMNs, resource allocation and scheduling in WMNs, cost optimization in WMN nodes using energy harvesting technologies, cross-layer design for WMNs, and security in WMNs.
