“…BSs is given by the formula mn n m M total + + = 2 2 , where m and n are integers, thereby giving total M = 3, 4, 7, 9, 12, 13, 16, 19, 21, etc [12]. Since the topology design considered in our analysis assumes one GW positioned at the centre of the cluster is surrounded by numerous BSs that form a symmetrical-like multihop pattern, the cluster sizes selected are 4, 7, 13, 19 and 37 with corresponding GW-to-AP ratio of 1:3, 1:6, 1:12, 1:18 and 1:36, respectively, in which the design options under study can be configured with limited 1 hop (i.e., no forwarding) to maximum 4 hops.…”

Abstract-An optimized and cost-effective wireless mesh network (WMN) deployment for ubiquitous broadband wireless access is known to be highly dependent on a number of key factors such as backhaul solution, number of radio interfaces per node, type of radio technology, network topology/cluster, etc. The choice of network topology in turn affects the gateway-node ratio, and also the placement of gateways (GW)s and access points (AP)s. In this paper, we provide insights on the best possible upper-bound performance and inter-relationship between these key design factors under different operating conditions with respect to different target data rates per user. Next, we incorporate deployment cost analysis into the corresponding design option studies in order to provide more accurate justification on the feasibility of adopting different clustering techniques. The results from our analysis offer a general guideline or reference for network operators who intend to deploy a uniform blanket coverage using WMN especially in the urban environment.

“…Mesh architecture makes it possible to form cheaper and flexible backhaul structures by substituting wired backhaul with wireless one [9]. However, it may be expensive to lease land to install base stations and needed to get permission to use the frequency if it is not approved for free use.…”

The paper introduces the research to develop an active Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) -based national Traffic Information Collection System (TICS) in ubiquitous environments in order to renovate the integrated national traffic management systems. The study of RFID -based traffic collection system mainly focuses on: i) 2.45GHz active RFID readers and tags; ii) RFID middleware and DB structure, and application S/W; and iii) network architecture to deploy TICS nationwide. The paper investigates and analyzes possible network architecture for TICS when it is deployed nationwide, and suggests efficient network configurations. For communication between user terminals in vehicles and the central system, WiBro (mobile WiMAX) and High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) networks are recommended and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) evaluation is performed for elaborate exploration of WiBro networks.

“…Although some of the equipment and electronics cost have declined, the cost of civil engineering, site acquisition, and laying fiber or copper cables remains high. It is essential, therefore, to undertake cost versus benefit analyses when considering the deployment of wireless versus wired networks [4,5]. Wireless networks are easy to deploy and the service can be provided within days.…”
