Energy efficiency in wireless mesh networks

IEEE 802.11s is the standard for WLAN(Wireless LAN) mesh networking. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have evolved as the key technology for next generation wireless networking. Energy consumption is increasing at an exponential rate with heavy growth in the number of smart devices. With this ever increasing demand for energy in every field coupled with the increase in carbon dioxide levels in the environment produced by wireless devices when in the idle mode, it is also very essential that a technology for reduced energy consumption which is environment friendly, is developed which is fit to be implemented in wireless mesh networks. This paper mainly focuses on the development of an energy efficient technology using modern electronic devices.
