COMPARISON OF HOP COUNT ON WIRELESS MESH NETWORK

Wireless Mesh Network (MWN) is a self-configured and self-organized network that can typically be implemented on 802.11 hardware. It consists of several nodes that make up the network backbone in a multi-story and sealed room, in contrast to building a hall or a place without bulkheads. This experiment uses an odd and even number scheme with a maximum number of routers of 8 pieces. In a sealed room, the performance of the method of installation of the number of strange Hops is better than the number of even Hops, with throughput calculation of 2665.19 KB, delay 0.25 s, data lost 0.60 %, and jitter 0.01 s and the best scheme that is with the number of Hops as much as five pieces, with the calculation of the number of throughput 7001.88 KB, delay 0.51s, data lost 0.47%, and jitter 0.002 s. In the free spaces, it can produce the better performance of the even hop count calculation scheme than the odd hop count by building throughput 16709.8 KB, delay 0.2 s, data lost 0.08 %, and jitter 0.03 s. and the best scheme that is with the number of throughput 68975,2 KB, wait for 0.0148 s, data lost 0 %, and jitter 0.0014 s. WMN performance in unshared space is more maximized than the version in a sealed area, with throughput values of 11786.82 kbps, delay of 2.08 ms, and data lost by 0.08 %, and jitter 0.03 s.it can produce the better performance of the even hop count calculation scheme than the odd hop count by producing throughput 16709.8 KB, delay 0.2 s, data lost 0.08 %, and jitter 0.03 s. and the best scheme that is with the number of throughput 68975,2 KB, wait for 0.0148 s, data lost 0 %, and jitter 0.0014 s.
