Research And Implementation Of Wireless Mesh Networks Protocol Base On WLAN

Nowadays, Wireless Local Area Network(WLAN)has widely applied in more and more fields. However, WLAN is limited by its coverage range. Wireless mesh network (WMN) is a new broadband wireless network framework. Because it is a multi-hop network formed by peer-to-peer backbone nodes, which provide a way transmits the date through middle notes, it can obtain wider coverage and larger capacity. So, the research of wireless mesh network protocol base on WLAN is meaningful for its application.This thesis introduces the structure and traits of WMN firstly, then, it discusses the WMN base on WLAN and the IEEE802.11s protocol. The Wireless mesh routing protocol and its performance is analyzed, and then, the thesis deals with the way to implement wireless mesh routing protocol. Finally, the wireless mesh network base on WLAN is established by the implementation of wireless mesh routing protocol based on 802.11 WLAN. The implementation method of wireless mesh routing protocol is proved effective and the performance of the WMN is measured in the real networks.
