- Abstract
- One of the main issues for a wireless mesh network is concerned of how to increase its capacity. Many research groups have focused on utilizing multi-channel multi-interface technologies on this purpose. In general, each interface in a mesh device is configured as one of the two modes: backbone mode for supporting a backbone connectivity and access point (AP) mode for supporting client connectivity. However, these two modes cannot be activated on the same interface simultaneously, restricting the capacity of the mesh network and degrading the overall network performance. To alleviate this problem, we propose the novel mesh architecture based on IEEE 802.11s and evaluate its performance via implementing a dual mode mesh device on actual testbeds.
