Analysis of routing protocols metrics for wireless mesh networks

Abstract

The article presents the survey of routing protocols for wireless mesh networks and their efficiency including the impact of routing metrics. Routing protocols are crucial element for performance of mesh networks, they ensure even flow of data packets and reduce negative influence of interferences. The article contains an overview of routing protocols used in the network mesh. As part of the research includes a comparative analysis of representative routing protocols carried out in the OMNeT++ environment. Results of simulation has been presented and compared.
