A New Paradigm for Load Balancing in Wireless Mesh Networks
Overview Obtaining maximum throughput across a network or a mesh through optimal load balancing is known to be an NP-hard problem. Designing efficient load balancing algorithms for networks in the wireless domain becomes an especially challenging task due to the limited bandwidth available. This paper presents heuristic algorithms for load balancing and maximum throughput scheduling in Wireless Mesh Networks with stationary nodes. The goals are to improve the network throughput through admissibly optimal distribution of the network traffic across the wireless links, ensure that the scheme is secure, and ensure fairness to all nodes in the network for bandwidth allocation. The main consideration is the routing of non-local traffic between the nodes and the destination via multiple Internet gateways.
