On Multi-Gateway Association in Wireless Mesh Networks
Overview Most traditional models of wireless mesh networks involve a mobile device connecting to the backbone through one of the available gateways in a wireless mesh network. This paper presents an alternate model, in which mobile devices are allowed to connect through more than one of the available gateways. It is called as the model Multi-Gateway Association (MGA). The paper present arguments for why such a model can result in better capacity, fairness, diversity and security when compared to the default single-association model. It also identifies the primary challenges that need to be addressed when using multiple-gateway associations, and propose solutions to handle these challenges.
