Study ofWireless Mesh Networks and WMN Architecture

Abstract — The Wireless Mesh Network is a promising technology in providing the last mile broad band access. A Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a communications network made up of radio nodes organized in a mesh topology. In a WMN, a mesh client can access the Internet through formed wireless mesh routers which are interconnected in a multi-hop fashion. Wireless mesh Networks often consist of mesh clients, mesh routers and gateways. This paper is on technical overview and covers: WMN overview (i.e., fundamental concept, technology, standards, etc.) and WMN architecture (i.e., network and node architectures, components, applications, etc.) Finally, a list of issues requiring further research is deliberated. We have also discussed some challenges regarding use of Wireless Mesh Network for Different systems i.e. evolution of topology and enhancing the speed of mesh network topology. This paper may leads to a future scope for creation of a Network Topology System using existing topologies.
