Qualitative Study of Existing Research Techniques on Wireless Mesh Network

Abstract

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the significant forms of the wireless mesh network that assists in creating highly interconnected communication node. Since a decade, there have been various studies towards enhancing the performance of WMN which is successful to a large extent. However, with the upcoming technology of pervasive and dynamic networks WMN suffers from various routing issues, Quality-of-Service (QoS) issue, channel allocation, sustainability of routes which makes the theory contradicting when considering for real-world challenges in wireless networks. This paper, therefore, brief about fundamental information of WMN followed by a discussion of existing research trends and existing research techniques. Finally, the paper also discusses the open research issues after reviewing the existing research techniques.
