Channel Diversity

In this article, the authors propose a new hybrid MAC protocol named H-MAC for wireless mesh networks. This protocol combines CSMA and TDMA schemes according to the contention level. In addition, it exploits channel diversity and provides a medium access control method that ensures the QoS requirements. Using ns-2 simulator, we have implemented and compared H-MAC with other MAC protocol used in Wireless Network. The results showed that H-MAC performs better compared to Z-MAC, IEEE 802.11 and LCM-MAC.

Research Problems

This article introduces a functional architecture supporting the wireless mesh networks for the IEEE 802.16 standard. Three essential techniques—collision avoiding, packet scheduling, and wireless routing—are intensively presented. Based on the mesh extension of the IEEE 802.16 medium access control (MAC) layer protocol and the relay-based characteristic of WMNs, the algorithms concerning those three essential techniques are briefly reviewed. The suitable algorithms for collision avoiding and packet scheduling mechanisms are analyzed. Meanwhile, the wireless routing algorithm for the proposal architecture is discussed. The future research work is presented and the research problems are focused.
