White Paper This paper proposes a mesh (multi-hop) architecture based on two-radio 802.11 Access Points (AP) and examines achievable aggregate throughput by exploiting spatial reuse and multiple channels. A suitable distributed clustering is used to self... [23 Jul 2008]
On Multicasting in Wavelength-Routing Mesh Networks
White Paper This paper considers multicasting on wavelength-routing mesh optical networks. The paper discusses the challenges of multicast support in optical wavelength routing networks, and reports on the advances made so far in this venue. [18 Jul 2008]
QoS in Wireless Mesh Networks: Challenges, Pitfalls, and Roadmap to Its Realization
White Paper Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have the potential to lead to a disruptive change in the landscape of wireless communications. IEEE 802.16's mesh mode and IEEE 802.11s) are not perfectly equipped to cater to this task. [18 Jul 2008]
Energy-Aware and QoS Routing in 6LoWPAN Mesh Networks
White Paper A routing protocol is needed for the mesh topology approach, which must take into account the very limited features of the network This paper proposes an energy aware QoS routing protocol for 6LoWPAN based on extension of 6LoWPAN Ad Hoc Routing... [18 Jul 2008]
Scalable Real-Time Gateway Assignment in Mobile Mesh Networks
White Paper The perception of future Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) deployment and usage is rapidly evolving. WMNs are now being envisaged to provide citywide "last-mile" access for numerous mobile devices running media-rich applications with stringent Quality of... [18 Jul 2008]
Improving Restoration Success in Mesh Optical Networks
White Paper In shared mesh restoration, a distributed signaling protocol is used to reroute connections from failed service paths to restoration paths upon failure events. However, even when the network contains sufficient capacity, the restoration paths could... [18 Jul 2008]
A Network Management Architecture for Robust Packet Routing in Mesh Optical Access Networks
White Paper The architecture can be utilized with an arbitrary, link-redundant mesh network (node-redundancy is necessary only to handle all node failures), and assumes neither the use of a star topology nor the ability to embed such a topology within the... [18 Jul 2008]
A Review of Traffic Grooming in WDM Optical Networks: Architectures and Challenges
White Paper This paper reviews most of the recent research work on traffic grooming in WDM ring and mesh networks. The transmission capacity of a link in today's optical networks has increased significantly due to Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (WDM... [18 Jul 2008]
On Multi-Gateway Association in Wireless Mesh Networks
White Paper Most traditional models of wireless mesh networks involve a mobile device connecting to the backbone through one of the available gateways in a wireless mesh network. This paper presents an alternate model, in which mobile devices are allowed to... [11 Jul 2008]
Differentiated Quality-of-Protection Provisioning in Optical/MPLS Networks
White Paper This paper investigates the problem of dynamic survivable lightpath provisioning against single node/link failures in optical mesh networks employing wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM). This paper present a new approach to provisioning... [11 Jul 2008]
Topological Design of Multiple VPNs Over MPLS Network
White Paper The use of sink-tree (multipoint-to-point) routing paths in a MPLS network makes the VPN design problem different from traditional design approaches where a full-mesh of point-to-point paths often is the choice. [11 Jul 2008]
Scalable Routing Overlay Networks
White Paper This paper describes a distributed service that constructs a topologically-representative mesh using only passive measurements and static topology information. By eliminating mesh edges that are not likely to be selected by a high-level routing... [11 Jul 2008]
Joint MAC-Aware Routing and Load Balancing in Mesh Networks
White Paper Past approaches to routing in mesh networks either do not account for the MAC-layer interactions between the links in a tractable manner, or are agnostic to load-balancing across gateways. The answer to these problems is MaLB (MAC-aware and Load... [10 Jul 2008]
A New Paradigm for Load Balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks
White Paper This paper presents heuristic algorithms for load balancing and maximum throughput scheduling in Wireless Mesh Networks with stationary nodes. Obtaining maximum throughput across a network or a mesh through optimal load balancing is known to be an... [10 Jul 2008]
Load-Balancing and Inter-Domain Mobility for Wireless Mesh Networks
White Paper The load-balancing scheme for domains includes: an initialization procedure to divide a mesh network into domains, and a load adjustment procedure to rebalance the traffic load of neighboring domains when required. [10 Jul 2008]
