Abstract
Spurred by the advent of ITS and WAVE (Wireless access in vehicular environments) as well as the wide-spread use of smart phones, WMN technology is considered to be a promising technology for extending the Internet access coverage supported by the IEEE802.11 based access points. In this paper, we propose a new MAC protocol which can efficiently utilize the multi-interface multi-channel communication capabilities supposedly equipped in most mesh routers, thereby increasing the network throughput considerably. We also verified its performance through computer simulations.
