Troubleshooting Wireless Mesh Networks

Overview Effective network troubleshooting is critical for maintaining efficient and reliable network operation. Troubleshooting is especially challenging in multi-hop wireless networks because the behavior of such networks depends on complicated interactions between many factors such as RF noise, signal propagation, node interference, and traffic flows. This paper proposes a new direction for research on fault diagnosis in wireless mesh networks. Specifically, the paper presents a diagnostic system that employs trace-driven simulations to detect faults and perform root cause analysis. It applies this approach to diagnose performance problems caused by packet dropping, link congestion, external noise, and MAC misbehavior.
