Experimental Characterization of Channel Selection and Multi-Hops in Wireless Mesh Network

Abstract:

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is able to extend the coverage of the network infrastructure by multi-hop wireless connections between APs. However, full potentialities and limits of this new technology have still to be explored. In this paper, we design an experimental testbed to analyze the characterization of Channel Selection and Multi-hops in Wireless Mesh Network, we believe that the data collected by our experiments may be of interest to network designers who want to know the effective capabilities of a WMN before investing on its deployment.
