Abstract

무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Network)는 무선으로 연결된 메쉬 라우터(Mesh Router)들 간에 멀티 홉 통신을 통해 다수의 사용자 단말에게 인터넷 접속 등의 서비스를 제공해줄 수 있는 망 기술로써, 네트워크 확장과 유지, 보수가 쉬운 장점이 있다. 무선 메쉬 네트워크를 통해 보다 많은 사용자와 트래픽을 처리하기 위해서는 네트워크의 용량(Capacity) 및 처리량(Throughput)을 높이는 것이 중요하며, 이를 위해 다수의 통신 인터페이스를 하나의 단말에 장비하는 멀티 인터페이스 기술이 각광받고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 메쉬 네트워크의 표준화 동향을 소개하고 멀티 인터페이스 기반 메쉬 네트워크 연구 활동 및 테스트 베드 구축 활동에 관해 요약한다.
