M.S. Defense Tuesday, June 5, 2007 Room 202 ENG II 4:00PM Title: Wireless Mesh Network Overview and WiMax Mesh Mode Delay Analysis Abstract: Multi-hop wireless networks have been the focus of network designers and researchers for decades. The practical application of these networks is self evident and drives both military and civilian research efforts. An overview of the development history and capacity scaling laws currently developed and their connection with MAC efficiency is presented. Recently introduced as a standard, WiMax (802.16) can operate as a broadband access point or as a wireless mesh network. The WiMax standard is introduced, focusing on the wireless mesh mode. A general survey of proposed link scheduling algorithms is presented along with the physical layer properties of WiMax mesh. Finally, the results of a throughput delay analysis within the mesh mode are presented, which lead to constraints on latency sensitive applications operating on WiMax mesh. |
