Abstract
Recently, wireless mesh networks are used in various application areas. However, wireless mesh networks have limited bandwidth by the wireless transmission property, and have severe throughput degradation in multi-hop transmission in single channel wireless mesh networks. To solve this problem and support QoS, a lot of routing protocols have been proposed in mesh networks. In this paper, we propose a wireless mesh networks architecture with MPLS for QoS service. The path and traffic management from the application could be independent from QoS routing protocols by using the MPLS in wirelss mesh networks. In this paper, we design a MPLS-based mesh router with IEEE 802.11e for traffic differentiation and investigate the operation by implementation and test.
