TLDR
A detailed investigation of current state-of-the-art protocols and algorithms for WMNs is presented and open research issues in all protocol layers are discussed to spark new research interests in this field.Abstract:
Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have emerged as a key technology for next-generation wireless networking. Because of their advantages over other wireless networks, WMNs are undergoing rapid progress and inspiring numerous applications. However, many technical issues still exist in this field. In order to provide a better understanding of the research challenges of WMNs, this article presents a detailed investigation of current state-of-the-art protocols and algorithms for WMNs. Open research issues in all protocol layers are also discussed, with an objective to spark new research interests in this field.read more

Distributed Power Allocation with Rate Constraints in Gaussian Parallel Interference Channels
TL;DR: This paper considers the minimization of transmit power in Gaussian parallel interference channels, subject to a rate constraint for each user, as a (generalized) Nash equilibrium (NE) game and proposes two distributed algorithms based on the single user water-filling solution.

The capacity of wireless networks
Piyush Gupta,P. R. Kumar +1 more
TL;DR: When n identical randomly located nodes, each capable of transmitting at W bits per second and using a fixed range, form a wireless network, the throughput /spl lambda/(n) obtainable by each node for a randomly chosen destination is /spl Theta/(W//spl radic/(nlogn)) bits persecond under a noninterference protocol.

Mobility increases the capacity of ad hoc wireless networks
Matthias Grossglauser,David Tse +1 more
TL;DR: The per-session throughput for applications with loose delay constraints, such that the topology changes over the time-scale of packet delivery, can be increased dramatically under this assumption, and a form of multiuser diversity via packet relaying is exploited.

Routing in multi-radio, multi-hop wireless mesh networks
TL;DR: A new metric for routing in multi-radio, multi-hop wireless networks with stationary nodes called Weighted Cumulative ETT (WCETT) significantly outperforms previously-proposed routing metrics by making judicious use of the second radio.

ExOR: opportunistic multi-hop routing for wireless networks
Sanjit Biswas,Robert Morris +1 more
TL;DR: ExOR chooses each hop of a packet's route after the transmission for that hop, so that the choice can reflect which intermediate nodes actually received the transmission, which gives each transmission multiple opportunities to make progress.
