Abstract:

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is an up-to-date network emerging with the development of wireless communication technology. Nowadays, it has become more and more popular. Along with this development, its performance has been research focus. However, the problem is that there are less than a handful of tools available to provide IEEE 802.11s mesh nodes or mesh models, which hampers its progressive research. In this paper, we propose a generic model for modeling and simulating IEEE 802.11s in OPNET. A prototype is implemented. According to the analysis of the simulation results, the proposed simulation platform satisfies the workflow of IEEE 802.11s and implements basic functions of IEEE 802.11s, and hence is shown to be an effective tool to develop IEEE 802.11s.
