Joint MAC-Aware Routing and Load Balancing in Mesh Networks

Tags:
load balancing

Overview Past approaches to routing in mesh networks either do not account for the MAC-layer interactions between the links in a tractable manner, or are agnostic to load-balancing across gateways. The answer to these problems is MaLB (MAC-aware and Load Balanced routing algorithm), a greedy tractable, and distributed mesh routing algorithm. Since the underlying objective function has high combinatorial complexity, MaLB uses a greedy approach. MaLB finds an optimum routing forest (union of trees rooted at the gateways) by taking into account MAC-layer interaction between links, as well as optimum multi-hop association of mesh nodes to gateways. MaLB builds on top of ETP (Expected Through-Put), a recently proposed MAC-aware routing metric.

Radioactive: Today a jam, tomorrow the open road?

Because the range of a wi-fi link is limited to a few hundred meters, every vehicle also serves as a router, allowing messages to be sent via a multi-hop process to vehicles farther away, otherwise known as mesh networking.

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.
