In this paper, a video streaming system for education based on a wireless mesh network is proposed. A wireless mesh network is a self-organizing, self-managing and reliable intelligent network, which allows educators to deploy a network quickly. Video streaming plays an important role in this system for multimedia data transmission. This new system adopts the scalable video coding scheme that enables the video server to deliver layered videos to different user groups. In addition, a quality control method was developed to automatically change the output data rate based on network conditions. Real implementation test results show the proposed methods are effective.

Wireless mesh network (WMN) technology operating on IEEE 802.11 standard is a wireless networkingtechnology consists of mesh routers and mesh clients, combined with the internet, mobile technology and sensor networks. Along with the development of technology and the increasing human needs, video transmission through wireless network becomes more important and necessary. Generally, the discussion of video transmission through wireless network is still in general, hence it provides a challenge in the use of throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss and PSNR. Combined Scalable Video Coding (CSCV) is a new scheme for the development of H.264 / MPEG-4. In this research we use CSCV for video delivery with the IEEE 802.11 standard in WMN environment, which is applied to AODV, DSDV and DSR routing protocols. In order to obtain the performance of each protocol, we used testing metrics end-to-end delay, throughput, packet loss and PSNR. Simulator NS-2 is used for analysis and measurement of data. The results of simulation experiments conducted showed that AODV has the lowest end-to-end delay at 0.57 seconds, the DSR has a good value in the throughput at 31 kbps and PSNR at 22.7 dB, and DSDV has a low value in packet loss at 56.4%.

Topology Control has been shown to provide several benefits to wireless ad hoc and mesh networks. However these benefits have largely been demonstrated using simulation-based evaluations. In this paper, we demonstrate the negative impact that the PlainTC Topology Control prototype has on topology stability. This instability is found to be caused by the large number of transceiver power adjustments undertaken by the prototype. A context-based solution is offered to reduce the number of transceiver power adjustments undertaken without sacrificing the cumulative transceiver power savings and spatial reuse advantages gained from employing Topology Control in an infrastructure wireless mesh network. We propose the context-based PlainTC+ prototype and show that incorporating context information in the transceiver power adjustment process significantly reduces topology instability. In addition, improvements to network performance arising from the improved topology stability are also observed. Future plans to add real-time context-awareness to PlainTC+ will have the scheme being prototyped in a software-defined wireless mesh network test-bed being planned.

The spread out of wireless mesh network has made possible the extended range of communication network that are impractical due to environmental changes in a wired access point, these wireless mesh network does not require much competence to set it up as it can be set very fast at a cheap rate, and the conveyancing of messages in it happens by selecting the shortest path, these wireless mesh built-in with irrepressible and invulnerable identities come with an endurance to temporary congestion and individual node failure. This results in an architecture providing a better coverage, flaw indulgent with higher bandwidth compared to other wireless distributed systems. But faces the limitation on power conservation. The battery activated mesh nodes loses their resources on perception, processing and transmission of the data’s, though these batteries or accumulators comes with energy regaining capability still draw backs show up as their nature of energy regaining are unexposed. So the performance analysis of fly wireless network which proposes a uninterrupted wireless mesh networks aims at providing a best measure of performance that is the best quality of service on the meshwork by providing an improved energy gleaning using potency segregation (IGPS) which empowers each node to have self- contained accumulation of energy achieving heightened adaption with energy consumption kept at a minimum. The gross functioning of the proposed is examined on the bases of delay and packet loss to prove the quality of service acquired.

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have attracted considerable interest in recent years as a convenient, new technology. However, the suitability of WMN for mission-critical infrastructure applications remains by and large unknown, as protocols typically employed in WMN are, for the most part, not designed for real-time communications. In this chapter, the authors describe a wireless mesh network architecture to solve the communication needs of the traffic control system in Sydney. This system, known as SCATS and used in over 100 cities around the world — from individual traffic light controllers to regional computers and the central TMC —places stringent requirements on the reliability and latency of the data exchanges. The authors discuss experience in the deployment of an initial testbed consisting of 7 mesh nodes placed at intersections with traffic lights, and share the results and insights learned from measurements and initial trials in the process.

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) have attracted considerable interest in recent years as a convenient, flexible and low-cost alternative to wired communication infrastructures in many contexts. However, the great majority of research on metropolitan-scale WMN has been centered around maximization of available bandwidth, suitable for non-real-time applications such as Internet access for the general public. On the other hand, the suitability of WMN for missioncritical infrastructure applications remains by and large unknown, as protocols typically employed in WMN are, for the most part, not designed for realtime communications. In this chapter, we describe a real-world testbed, which sets a goal of designing a wireless mesh network architecture to solve the communication needs of the traffic control system in Sydney, Australia. This system, known as SCATS (Sydney Coordinated Adaptive Traffic System) and used in over 100 cities around the world, connects a hierarchy of several thousand devices -- from individual traffic light controllers to regional computers and the central Traffic Management Centre (TMC) - and places stringent requirements on the reliability and latency of the data exchanges. We discuss some issues in the deployment of this testbed consisting of 7 mesh nodes placed at intersections with traffic lights, and show some results from the testbed measurements.

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) can provide flexible wireless connections in a smart city, internet of things (IoT), and device-to-device (D2D) communications. The performance of WMNs can be greatly enhanced by adopting a multi-radio technique, which enables a node to communicate with more nodes simultaneously. However, multi-radio WMNs face two main challenges, namely, energy consumption and physical layer secrecy. In this paper, both simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) and cooperative jamming technologies were adopted to overcome these two problems. We designed the SWIPT and cooperative jamming scheme, minimizing the total transmission power by properly selecting beamforming vectors of the WMN nodes and jammer to satisfy the individual signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and energy harvesting (EH) constrains. Especially, we considered the channel estimate error caused by the imperfect channel state information. The SINR of eavesdropper (Eve) was suppressed to protect the secrecy of WMN nodes. Due to the fractional form, the problem was proved to be non-convex. We developed a tractable algorithm by transforming it into a convex one, utilizing semi-definite programming (SDP) relaxation and S-procedure methods. The simulation results validated the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm compared with the non-robust design.

Spectrum sharing technologies can achieve the maximum usage of spectrum resources flexibly and high-efficiently, which relieves the current spectrum crunch situation availably. In a multi-hop cognitive wireless mesh network scenario coexisting with a TDMA/FDMA cellular network, an effective scheme of cross-layer design between link-layer spectrum decision and network-layer routing is proposed, on the basis of the combination of spectrum underlay and spectrum overlay. Simulation results verify that the scheme outperforms distinctly the shortest path based random spectrum decision algorithm on network end-to-end performance.
