Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are gaining increasing popularity due to its features like self organization, selfconfiguration and self-healing. WMNs reduces the authentication time by up to a factor of 3 compared to WLAN, while allowing mobile stations to move without performing additional authentications. Wireless Mesh Networks have been envisioned as an important solution to the next generation wireless networking. As various standards are being specified for different mesh networking technologies in many application areas. Among the various standard organizations, the IEEE standards committee is the most enthusiastic at promoting WMN as a networking technology in all its aspects. IEEE 802 standards committee includes different working groups for Personal Area Network (PAN), Local Area Network (LAN) and Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) based WMNs. In this paper, we focus on IEEE 802 standards. Keywords— WMN, PAN, LAN, MAN, MAC
