A non‐constant weight code approach for fast link assessment in multihop wireless mesh networks
Rajesh Prasad, Ravi Nelavelli, Hongyi WuThe purpose of this paper is to propose a novel link assessment scheme where the link assessment packets are transmitted efficiently according to a set of non‐constant weight…
A new channel assignment algorithm for wireless mesh networks
Jianjun Yang, Zongming FeiWireless mesh networks (WMNs) have evolved quickly during the last several years. They are widely used in a lot of fields. Channel allocation provides basic means to guarantee…
Performance comparison of advanced antenna systems for wireless mesh routers in an outdoor environment
Fulvio Babich, Massimiliano Comisso, Lucio ManiàThe purpose of this paper is to compare the low‐cost switched‐beam antennas and the more expensive adaptive antennas in a wireless mesh network (WMN) scenario.
Implementing an adaptive TCP fairness while exploiting 802.11e over wireless mesh networks
Scott Fowler, Marc Eberhard, Keith BlowThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of 802.11e MAC to resolve the transmission control protocol (TCP) unfairness.
Minimizing transmission time in 802.16‐based multi‐channel mesh networks
Peng Du, Jun Wang, Weijia Jia, Liusheng Huang, Huan LiTime slot allocation in world interoperability for microwave access (WiMax) mesh networks is controlled by a centralized scheduling algorithm, as specified in the IEEE standard…
Cross‐layer scheduling over a heterogeneous opportunistic emergency‐deployed wireless network
Virginia Corvino, Andrea Carniani, Velio Tralli, Roberto VerdoneThe purpose of this paper is to study the radio resource assignment problem in the context of a heterogeneous ad hoc network, composed of 1EEE802.15.4 sensor devices, their…
Managing multiple speech‐enabled applications in a mobile handheld device
Michael Schuricht, Zachary Davis, Michael Hu, Shreyas Prasad, Peter M. Melliar‐Smith, Louise E. MoserMobile handheld devices, such as cellular phones and personal digital assistants, are inherently small and lack an intuitive and natural user interface. Speech recognition and…
A simulation tool for mobility management experiments
Javid Taheri, Albert Y. ZomayaThere is a need for a realistic simulator to model real mobile networks users. The purpose of this paper is to present a practical approach for simulating mobile networks. It aims…
