Wireless mesh networking has emerged as a promising design paradigm for next generation wireless networks. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) consist of mesh clients and mesh routers, where the mesh routers form a wireless infrastructure/backbone and interwork with the wired networks to provide multihop wireless Internet connectivity to the mesh clients. Wireless mesh networking has emerged as one of the most promising concept for self-organizing and auto-configurable wireless networking to provide adaptive and flexible wireless Internet connectivity to mobile users. This concept can be used for different wireless access technologies such as IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16-based wireless local area network (WLAN), wireless personal area network (WPAN), and wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) technologies, respectively. Potential application scenarios for wireless mesh networks include backhaul …
