This paper draws performance results through comparing WMNs' methods when the WMNs are used in tunnel construction sites. There are many advantages of WMNs : lower cost, easy to network maintenance, robustness and reliability within RF-ranges. As a result, using the WMNs would be suitable to employ as a network infrastructure for the construction sites. This paper evaluates the performance of WMNs which we have installed in a tunnel construction. Through the performance results, we conclude the performance of data throughputs gets lower when we perform the network in tunnel environments. We make attempts WMNs' two major methods which are SISC(Single Interface with Single Channel) and MIMC(Multi Interface with Multi Channel) to figure out which method will be better for the construction sites. Through the experiments, the WMN based on the MIMC method was comparatively suitable in network performance aspect for the tunnel Sites.

Wireless mesh networks are considered a promising solution to last mile broadband. The unique characteristics of WMN impose unique requirements on designing routing protocols and metrics for WMN. However, existing routing schemes that are designed for single-channel multi-hop wireless networks may lead to inefficient routing paths in multichannel. This paper focuses on the routing problem for multi-radio multichannel WMNs. We list the challenges in designing routing algorithms for multi-radio multichannel WMNs. Then we examine the requirements and considerations for designing routing metrics according to the characteristics of multi-radio multichannel WMNs. Finally we survey and investigate the existing routing metrics in terms of their ability to satisfy these requirements.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have been increasingly applied in private and public networks during the last decade. In a different context, voice over IP (VoIP) has emerged as a new technology for making voice calls around the world over IP networks and is replacing traditional telecommunication systems. The popularity of the two technologies motivated the deployment of VoIP over WMNs. However, VoIP over WMNs suffers from inefficient bandwidth utilization because of two reasons: i) attaching 40-byte RTP/UDP/IP header to a small VoIP payload (e.g., 10 bytes) and ii) 841 μs delay overhead of each packet in WMNs. Among several solutions, VoIP packet multiplexing is the most prominent one. This technique combines several VoIP packets in one header. In this study, we will survey all the VoIP multiplexing methods over WMNs. This study provides a clear understanding of the VoIP bandwidth utilization problem over WMNs, discusses the general approaches in which packet multiplexing methods could be performed, provides a detailed study of present multiplexing techniques, shows the aspects that hinder the VoIP multiplexing methods, discusses the factors affected by VoIP multiplexing schemes, shows the merits and demerits of different multiplexing approaches, provides guidelines for designing a new improved multiplexing technique, and provides directions for future research. This study contributes by providing guidance for designing a suitable and robust method to multiplex VoIP packets over WMNs.

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are emerging as promising, convenient next generation wireless network technology. There is a great need for a secure framework for routing in WMNs and several research studies have proposed secure versions of the default routing protocol of WMNs. In this paper, we propose a security framework for Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) in WMNs. Contrary to existing schemes, our proposed framework ensures both end-to-end and point-to-point authentication and integrity to both mutable and non-mutable fields of routing frames by adding message extension fields to the HWMP path selection frame elements. Security analysis and simulation results show that the proposed approach performs significantly well in spite of the cryptographic computations involved in routing.

There has been growing interest in multicast technologies for wireless mesh networks with increasing demand for enjoying seamless multimedia broadcast service such as mobile IPTV anytime anywhere for any content on any device. This paper addressed the factors that should be considered when designing multicast algorithm in WMNs. Several routing metrics which are adapted for WMNs based multicast are described in detail to show that the main design goal for multicast metric is to achieve high throughput. Those metrics that take into account the characteristics of WMNs such as wireless broadcast advantage or channel diversity can arrange load balancing more effectively.

산업용 IoT는 비용 효율적이고 넓은 커버리지를 제공하는 무선 메쉬 네트워크에 관심이 많았다. 하지만, 무선 메쉬 네트워크는 멀티홉 환경의 심각한 성능 절하를 겪는다. 이를 극복하기 위해 메쉬 라우터에 캐시를 장착하는 연구가 많았으나 캐시 파워 소모 모델 연구는 적었다. 최근 캐시 파워 효율 기반 모델은 캐시까지 콘텐츠 전달 파워를 모두 측정했기 때문에 무선 메쉬 네트워크에서 쓰기에 부적절합니다. 본 논문은 CPU의 동작속도가 캐시 크기에 비례한다는 사실을 이용하여 캐시 적중률 기반 파워 소모 모델을 제안하고, 기존 캐시 파워 효율 기반 소모 모델과 비교하여 정확하게 측정되었다. 제안된 캐시 적중률 기반 파워 소모 모델은 산업용 IoT에서 무선 메쉬 네트워크를 구성할 시 에너지 효율적인 캐시 운용을 위한 참조 모델로 활용되길 기대합니다.

무선 메쉬 네트워크(Wireless Mesh Networks, WMNs)는 유비쿼터스 환경 및 무선 브로드밴드 액세스를 제공하기 위한 핵심적인 미래 기술로 대두되고 있다. WMN에서의 전체적인 성능은 채널의 간섭을 최소화함으로써 개선될 수 있다. WMN에서 주로 사용하는 네트워크 인터페이스 기술 중 하나인 IEEE 802.11b/g 스펙은 3 개의 멀티 채널을 지원한다. 이러한 멀티 채널 WMN에서 효율적인 채널 할당을 위해서는 채널 스캐닝 지연과 채널 의존성 문제를 고려해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 IEEE 802.11b/g WMN에서의 이러한 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 클러스터 기반의 채널 할당(Cluster-Based Channel Assignment, CB-CA) 알고리즘을 제안한다. CB-CA 알고리즘에서는 클러스터 헤드(Cluster Head, CH) 노드들 간에는 동일 채널을 사용함으로써 채널 스캐닝과 채널 스위칭을 수행하지 않는다. 해당 클러스터 멤버 (Cluster Member, CM) 노드들과의 통신에는 CH들 간의 통신 채널에 영향을 미치지 않는 채널을 할당함으로써 멀티채널에서 발생할 수 있는 간섭을 최소화 할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 CB-CA 알고리즘이 WMNs의 성능을 향상시킬 수 있음을 입증하였다.

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have emerged as one of the new hot topics in wireless communications. WMNs have been suggested for use in situations in which some or all of the users are mobile or are located in inaccessible environments. Unconstrained transmission in a WMN may lead to the time overlap of two or more packet receptions, called collisions or interferences, resulting in damaged useless packets at the destination. There are two types of collisions; primary collision, due to the transmission of the stations which can hear each other, and hidden terminal collision, when stations outside the hearing range of each other transmit to the same receiving stations. For a WMN, direct collisions can be minimized by short propagation and carrier sense times. Thus, in this paper we only consider hidden terminal collision while neglecting direct collisions. To reduce or eliminate hidden terminal collision, code division multiple access (CDMA) protocols have been introduced. The collision-free property is guaranteed by the use of spread spectrum communication techniques and the proper assignment of orthogonal codes. Such codes share the fixed channel capacity allocated to the network in the design stage. Thus, it is very important to minimize the number of codes while achieving a proper transmission quality level in CDMA WMNs. In this paper, an efficient heuristic code assignment algorithm for eliminating hidden terminal collision in CDMA WMNs with general topology.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) provide an efficient and flexible method to the field of wireless networking, but also bring many security issues. A mesh point may lose all of its available links during its movement. Thus, the mesh point needs to handover to a new mesh point in order to obtain access to the network again. For multi-domain WMNs, we proposed a new ID-based signcryption scheme and accordingly present a novel ID-based handover protocol for mesh points. The mutual authentication and key establishment of two mesh points which belong to different trust domains can be achieved by using a single one-round message exchange during the authentication phase. The authentication server is not involved in our handover authentication protocol so that mutual authentication can be completed directly by the mesh points. Meanwhile, the data transmitted between the two mesh points can be carried by the authentication messages. Moreover, there are no restrictions on the PKG system parameters in our proposed multi-domain ID-based signcryption scheme so our handover scheme can be easily applied to real WMNs circumstances. Security of the signcryption scheme is proved in the random oracle model. It shows that our protocol satisfies the basic security requirements and is resistant to existing attacks based on the security of the signcryption. The analysis of the performance demonstrates that the protocol is efficient and suitable for the multi-domain WMNs environment.
