A distributed routing protocol for predictable rates in wireless mesh networks<\/a><\/h1>\n

Behnaz Arzani, Roch Guerin, Alejandro Ribeiro<\/p>\n

Wireless mesh networks hold the promise of rapid and flexible deployments of communication facilities. This
\npotential notwithstanding, the often erratic behavior of multihop wireless transmissions is limiting the range
\nof applications that such networks can target. In this paper we investigate the feasibility and benefits of a
\nrouting protocol explicitly aimed at making wireless mesh networks more predictable while preserving their
\nefficiency and flexibility. The protocol’s basic premise is the classical idea that a multipath solution can offer
\nresiliency to unexpected link variations. The paper’s contributions are in demonstrating how this can be
\neffectively realized in a wireless context, and in offering initial evidences of its efficacy. In particular, the paper
\nillustrates how routing decisions that account for link variability can be computed in a distributed fashion, and
\nthe benefits they afford in improving the stability of end-to-end transmission rates even in the presence of
\nrandom network fluctuations<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
