A High-Performance Wireless Mesh Network Routing Protocol

Abstract:

BATAMAN (Better Approach to Mobile Ad-hoc Networking) is a new wireless Mesh network protocol. The algorithm of BATMAN protocol was analyzed, the BATMAN protocol was designed based the embedded Linux and realized on the self-developed wireless Mesh node mounting multiple Wi-Fi modules. The pragmatic performance was test in the multi-hop Mesh prototype network. The result shows that: the characteristics of throughput and latency of BATMAN protocol which is lightweight, rapid convergence and efficient can meet the real-time and broadband transmission requirement of wireless Mesh network.
