ACRoMa - An Architecture of Cooperative Routing Management inWireless Mesh Networks

Authors

Abstract

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) provide a wireless backbone for ubiquitous
Internet access and are being challenged to improve their management
to support various kinds of scalable multimedia applications. This paper sets
out an Architecture of Cooperative Routing Management (ACRoMa) for scalable
triple play service in WMN. A simulation study has been carried out to
assess the performance of ACRoMA with different configuration matrices. The
results provide evidence that by combining an efficient clustering and load balancing
mechanism with a cross-layer routing metric aware of link quality, ACRoMa
improves the traffic performance in the presence of challenging traffic
patterns, such as triple play services.
