Scalable Real-Time Gateway Assignment in Mobile Mesh Networks

Tags:
gateways - hubs

Overview The perception of future Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) deployment and usage is rapidly evolving. WMNs are now being envisaged to provide citywide "last-mile" access for numerous mobile devices running media-rich applications with stringent Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Consequently, some current-day conceptions underlying application support in WMNs need to be revisited. In particular, in a large WMN, the dynamic assignment of users to Internet gateways will become a complex traffic engineering problem that will need to consider load peaks, user mobility, and handoff penalties. The paper proposes QMesh, a framework for user-gateway assignment that runs inside the WMN, and is oblivious to underlying routing protocols. It solves the handoff management problem in a scalable distributed manner.
