Abstract :
Wireless mesh networks have recently gained a lot of popularity due to their rapid deployment and instant communication capabilities. Special routing protocols are employed, which facilitate routing between the Mesh Routers as well as between the Mesh Routers and the Mobile Nodes. This work addresses a framework of packet routing in the wireless mesh network. We investigate a cross-layer solution to enable a good application delivery. In addition, we present an IPv6 addressing scheme and new procedures to handle mobility. Another feature of our work, is that we use a modified Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) scheme to introduce a new hierarchical QoS routing.
