Abstract :
On this paper, we propose a hierarchical routing framework which is adapted to a wireless mesh network (WMN) environment and ensures the most critical issue in the wireless network: load-balancing. We simplify clusters formation and maintenance procedure, propose limited topology broadcasting mechanism allowing WMC to choose the best path to a WMC in adjacent cluster, and connect to a number nearby WMR. Basing on that routing framework we propose a liquid-simulated algorithm to keep load-balances between WMRs.
