Modeling and Analysis MAC Layer Performance for IEEE 802.11s Wireless Mesh Network in Smart Grid

Since the wireless mesh network topology dynamics and the radio channels instable, the design of wireless mesh network routing protocol become one of the key factors to determine the performance. This paper mainly studied the existing several kinds of typical three-layer mesh network routing protocol (DSDV and AODV), aimed at the defects of three-layer routing limited to the network topology changes, the paper proposed a network model based on two-layer routing. Forwarding the packet, establishing and maintaining the communication links are accomplished on the Mac layer. Simulation tests showed that two-layer routing has a big improvement on the efficiency of packet forwarding, and it effectively reduced the routing overhead and end-to-end delay simultaneously.

Wireless mesh network (WMN) is an up-to-date network emerging with the development of wireless communication technology. Nowadays, it has become more and more popular. Along with this development, its performance has been research focus. However, the problem is that there are less than a handful of tools available to provide IEEE 802.11s mesh nodes or mesh models, which hampers its progressive research. In this paper, we propose a generic model for modeling and simulating IEEE 802.11s in OPNET. A prototype is implemented. According to the analysis of the simulation results, the proposed simulation platform satisfies the workflow of IEEE 802.11s and implements basic functions of IEEE 802.11s, and hence is shown to be an effective tool to develop IEEE 802.11s.
