TLDR
A comprehensive review of the main topological stability and scalability‐related issues in IEEE 802.11s‐based networks and the most relevant proposed solutions are surveyed, where both the drawbacks and the merits of each proposal are highlighted.
Abstract
Scalability and topological stability are two of the most challenging issues in current wireless mesh networks WMNs deployments. In the literature, both the scalability and the topological stability of WMNs are described as likely to suffer from poor performance due to the ad hoc nature of the underlying IEEE 802.11 mechanisms. The main contribution of this article is a comprehensive review of the main topological stability and scalability-related issues in IEEE 802.11s-based networks. Moreover, the most relevant proposed solutions are surveyed, where both the drawbacks and the merits of each proposal are highlighted. At the end of the article, some open research challenges are presented and discussed. It is expected that this work may serve as motivation for more and deeper research on these issues to allow the design of future more stable and scalable IEEE 802.11s mesh networks deployments.

Implementation of Adaptive Mobility Management Technique for Wireless Mesh Network to Handle Internet Packets

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an adaptive mobility management technique to support movement of external STA in wireless mesh network (WMN), which is combined with IEEE 802.11s. But external STA’s movement is not supported by IEEE 802., 11s. Performance comparison shows that the proposed technique performs better than HWMP in respect of average handoff cost, average end to end delay, normalized routing overhead, and throughput in different network conditions.

Ad-hoc on-demand distance vector routing

TL;DR: An ad-hoc network is the cooperative engagement of a collection of mobile nodes without the required intervention of any centralized access point or existing infrastructure and the proposed routing algorithm is quite suitable for a dynamic self starting network, as required by users wishing to utilize ad- hoc networks.
