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

A Generic Admission-Control Methodology for Packet Networks
TL;DR: A generic admission control methodology where the network conditions between any given ingress-egress node pair are summarized into a single parameter, referred to as the "QoS index", which accounts for various traffic volumes and QoS requirements, like throughput, delay, and packet error rate is proposed.

Optimum node placement in wireless opportunistic routing networks
TL;DR: An analytical model is used that allows to compute the optimal position of the nodes, such that the progress towards the destination is maximized, and bounds to the minimum expected number of transmissions that can be achieved in a network using opportunistic routing are computed.

Apparatus for transmitting a signal including transmit data to a multiple-input capable node
TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus for transmitting a signal including the transmit data to a multiple-input-and-multiple-output (MIMO) node is described. But it is not shown how to transmit data from the first signal to the second signal.

Adaptable misbehavior detection and isolation in wireless ad hoc networks using policies
TL;DR: This paper presents a role-based approach that uses a distributed management overlay and gathers information about the packet forwarding activities of each node in the network and shows that it is possible to detect, accuse and punish misbehaving nodes with a high degree of confidence.

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.

Multi-channel mac for ad hoc networks: handling multi-channel hidden terminals using a single transceiver
Jungmin So,Nitin H. Vaidya +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes a medium access control (MAC) protocol for ad hoc wireless networks that utilizes multiple channels dynamically to improve performance and solves the multi-channel hidden terminal problem using temporal synchronization.
