Hybrid wireless mesh networks requirements collection for integration in end to end architectures

The wireless technologies and specifically multi-hop wireless mesh networks (WMN) based on heterogeneous infrastructures emerged as an important solution for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA). The WMN integration in end to end architecture, especially in the perspective of Future Internet needs a careful definition of system requirements seen from several perspectives. This paper proposes a systematic requirements collection methodology for hybrid WMN architecture, defined in the framework of the FP7 European Project SMART-Net.
