Wireless Mess Network #2

The first wireless mesh networks were mobile ad hoc networks – with wireless stations moving around and participating in a peer to peer network. Mesh is an attractive approach for wireless networking since wireless nodes may be mobile and it is common for a wireless node to participate in a network without being able to hear all of the other nodes in the network. Mobile peer to peer networks benefit from the sparse connectivity requirements of the mesh architecture; and the combination of wireless and mesh can provide a reliable network with a great deal of flexibility. The popularity of Wi-Fi has generated a lot of interest in developing wireless networks that support Wi-Fi access across very large areas. Large coverage access points (AP) are available for these scenarios, but the cost of deploying these wide area Wi-Fi systems is dominated by the cost of the network required to interconnect the APs and connect them to the Internet— the backhaul network. Even with fewer APs, it is v

Capacity of Wireless Mesh Networks Understanding Single Radio, Dual Radio and Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks This post not a tutorial, just sharing knowledge about Wireless Mesh Network from many reference we have and from our experience on the field as a wireless internet sevice provider and computer network consultant. We focuses on wireless mesh infrastructure systems used for creating large Wi-Fi access networks, and examines three different approaches currently available for implementing them. It examines the strengths and weaknesses of each approach with a particular focus on the capacity that is available to users. Can wireless mesh infrastructure systems deliver enough capacity to support broadband services for a large number of users? Mesh is a type of network architecture. Originally, Ethernet was a shared bus topology in which every node tapped into a common cable that carried all transmissions from all nodes. In bus networks, any node on the network hears all tr
