On the Support of Multimedia Applications over Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

For next generation wireless networks, supporting quality of service (QoS) in multimedia application like video, streaming and voice over IP is a necessary and critical requirement. Wireless Mesh Networking is envisioned as a solution for next networks generation and a promising technology for supporting multimedia application. With decreasing the numbers of mesh clients, QoS will increase automatically. Several research are focused to improve QoS in Wireless Mesh networks (WMNs), they try to improve a basics algorithm, like routing protocols or one of example of canal access, but in moments it no sufficient to ensure a robust solution to transport multimedia application over WMNs. In this paper we propose an efficient routing algorithm for multimedia transmission in the mesh network and an approach of QoS in the MAC layer for facilitated transport video over the network studied.
