ROMER: Resilient Opportunistic Mesh Routing for Wireless Mesh Networks

Overview Wireless mesh networks hold promises to provide robust and high-throughput data delivery to wireless users. In a mesh network, High-speed Access Points (HAPs), equipped with advanced antennas, communicate with each other over wireless channels and form an indoor/outdoor broadband backhaul. This backbone efficiently forwards user traffic to a few Gateway APs (GAPs), which additionally have high-speed connections to the wired Internet. This paper describes ROMER, a resilient and opportunistic routing solution for mesh networks. ROMER balances between long-term route stability and short-term opportunistic performance. It builds a runtime, forwarding mesh on a per-packet basis that offers a set of candidate routes.

BT signs £330m ICT deal with Suffolk

The joint venture aims to set up a single customer service centre to manage all public access points across the county. BT has signed a £330m pioneering local government deal which will see it form a joint venture with two councils.

Telecoms

Oh, what a mesh!

That deal and an expected announcement from Nortel Networks suggest that the mesh-networking market is on the rise. Motorola rival Nortel said it plans to announce on Wednesday a large sale of mesh-networking equipment to a customer in China.

Radioactive: Taipei gets meshed up

The idea of mesh networks, and they are equally applied to the fixed world, is that they offer a great deal of redundancy. They believe the secret of M-City's success will be in how mesh technology performs.

Engineering students get totally meshed up

In mesh networks, some of the nodes are given additional routing functionality. Come September, one engineering school will be getting their net access courtesy of a mesh network built by France Telecom.

BT kick-starts wireless cities project

The project will use a combination of mesh networks and individual wi-fi hotspots. Andrews stressed the wireless deployment would initially be focused on areas identified by the relevant councils, rather than taking the form of blanket coverage.

Council fixed-mobile trial rings the changes

By routing those calls over wi-fi where possible, the theory goes that companies should be able to trim call charges. To keep the wi-fi element of the service on track the council has installed extra wi-fi access points in a corridor connecting two...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
