Abstract
Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the significant forms of the wireless mesh network that assists in creating highly interconnected communication node. Since a decade, there have been various studies towards enhancing the performance of WMN which is successful to a large extent. However, with the upcoming technology of pervasive and dynamic networks WMN suffers from various routing issues, Quality-of-Service (QoS) issue, channel allocation, sustainability of routes which makes the theory contradicting when considering for real-world challenges in wireless networks. This paper, therefore, brief about fundamental information of WMN followed by a discussion of existing research trends and existing research techniques. Finally, the paper also discusses the open research issues after reviewing the existing research techniques.
Highlights
In last few years, the energy consumption, as well as cost of the networking devices, is increasing rapidly
In the area of the wireless network, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the frequently selected topics of research owing to its increasing number of research problems [3][4][5]
WMN uses Wireless Mesh Routers (WMRs) and Mesh Clients (MCs) for transmitting the data packet in a multi-hop pattern, while the network devices e.g. gateway have the lesser amount of adaptability as well as supportability towards the backbone network
Summary
The energy consumption, as well as cost of the networking devices, is increasing rapidly. The communication performance highly degrades to a larger extent those results in declination of channel capacity Such problems could be possibly overcome by adding new gateway nodes in the adjacent transmission zone, it gives rise to another challenging issue i.e. how to identify the location of repeaters or base station to be fixed? The sole purpose will be obviously to increase the channel capacity and to offer equal QoS to all the connected users As such forms of a network are connected to each other using internet access; it is imperative that dealing with the communication-based requirement will be one of the toughest tasks in WMN.
