Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks are consist of mobility mesh clients and mesh routers. WMNs can communicate with heterogeneous networks such as IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.15, IEEE 802.16 and sensor networks. WMNs which is based on ad hoc network are on research and developing to enhance WLANs, WPANs, or WMANs. WMNs can offer environment to serve human, service to person area, campus, and metro. But WMNs has many problems to solve about enhancing performance and generalization. Among them, Existing protocol layers has many problems enhancing to optimize WMNs. This document issues problems about WMNs in protocol layer and suggest the solutions. Also, suggests the requirements and the methods of QoS supporting issue.
