A topology control algorithm for throughput optimization for wireless mesh networks

Because of existence of the interference, WMNs´ end-to-end throughput usually is not very ideal. In order to solve this problem, this paper design an topology algorithm which via combining collision domain load and power control to structure network topology and optimize network throughput. The algorithm adjust each node transmission power to a reasonable leve after construct the network topology, it can reduce the mutual interference of nearby nodes, thus improve the channel´s space reuse degree and the optimize network throughput. The simulation results show that, the network throughput is promoted after the topology optimized by unite collision domain load with power control.
