Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks (IEEE 802.11s) provides a cost effective and simple way for wireless networking. However, the problem is the wired connection between the APs. The wired links increases complexity and deployment cost in many situations. Therefore, it is desirable to connect the APs via wireless links as well and create a WLAN Mesh. In WMNs, APs turn into mesh access points (MAPs). Mobile stations are sometimes referred as mesh clients. The new IEEE 802.11s standard for WMNs introduces a third class of nodes called mesh points (MPs). MPs and MAPs support WLAN mesh services, allowing them to forward packets on behalf of other nodes to extend the wireless transmission range. Mesh clients can associate with MAPs but not with MPs. Mesh portals (MPPs) are MAPs which provides connectivity to other networks thus acting as a gateway for Mesh Networks.
