Conceptualization of a Novel QoS-Efficient Enhanced Routing Schema for Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Since many years the area of wireless networks provided various solutions to promote a better quality of communication aspects in our day-to-day lives. Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) being a subset, emerging as a promising technology-oriented network as it comprises of a set of key features such as robustness, simplicity in operating conditions, fault-tolerant capability and faster process of deployment. The area has a wide range of commercially deployable applications where the communication gets carried out in multi-hop fashion between nodes. Here, nodes act as both the router and the host. Despite having potential characteristics features WMNs routing and Quality-of-Services (QoS), performance improvement is a key challenge derived in many studies. The formulated study thereby addresses this problem and come up with a novel routing solution to attain better QoS aspects such as throughput performance, delay performance in the context of WMN. The design of the formulated approach applies two prime functional schema i) approaches to handle the QoS problem, and along with this ii) the analytical design and modeling of the formulated routing approach aims to mitigate the hidden terminal problems with extensive quantitative analysis. The mathematical modeling approaches are further computationally executed, and assessment of aggregated throughput, energy, and QoS ratings are retained. Finally, the experimental outcome demonstrated that the presented approach attains better QoS and energy performance improvement (~60% and ~70% respectively) as compared to existing baseline models SOAR and ROMER.
