Abstract

IEEE 802.11s defines a new mesh data frame format and an extensibility framework for routing. The default routing protocol Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP) is described. HWMP is based on Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector Routing (AODV) and has a configurable extension for proactive routing. It uses MAC address with layer 2 routing and uses Radio-Aware as routing metric. We implemented HWMP on OPNET and evaluated its performance. The experimental results showed that HWMP has the lower average latency and the higher data transmission throughput compared with AODV.
