In recent years, video streaming over wireless mesh networks (WMNs) has been of great interest among the users. In WMNs, although node mobility and scalability are the two most important well-known advantages by end-users, they can decrease the perceived video quality on receivers with increasing the probability of path failure, especially when the number of mobile mesh nodes and their mobility speeds increase. Therefore, the necessity of employing an efficient routing protocol to consider the effects of node mobility is inevitable. Moreover, the interference can be sharply increased, especially on the gateways, when there are many mobile mesh nodes in a WMN. Interference does not permit the system to support many STA and mobile mesh nodes. In order to cope with these challenges, this study introduces and evaluates a good hybrid routing protocol for data dissemination which efficiently and effectively routes packets in a wireless mesh network and intelligently employs proactive and reactive routing protocols based on the node mobility (GREENIE) for efficient video streaming over WMNs and extensively compares it with other routing protocols including hybrid wireless mesh protocol, proactive, reactive, and spanning trees using OMNET++ simulator. GREENIE intelligently distinguishes mobile from static nodes and selects the most stable path between a source and a destination which leads to higher perceived video quality on receivers. The results show the impact of GREENIE on the perceived video quality so that it considerably outperforms other routing protocols in terms of the total number of successfully received packets, the end-to-end delay, and the imposed routing overhead on the system. One of the main advantages of GREENIE is that it performs routing in the medium access control layer without applying any change in the functions of the internet protocol layer.

“…Besides reduced hop count, an additional set of advantages acrue from the fact that the Internet paths are more stable and usually have greater bandwidth than the wireless links in the mesh network. Gateway-based approaches [11][12] for routing in WMNs typically address the routing challenge through hierarchical addressing schemes and the use of wired resources in a greedy manner, without consideration of the traffic load and the relative merits of intra-mesh vs. gateway-based paths. In particular, in many instances, the use of an Internet-based path may actually prove counterproductive, especially if the vicinity of the access gateways is congested.…”

Abstract-This paper studies video multicasting in large scale areas using wireless mesh networks. The focus is on the use of Internet access gateways that allow a choice of alternative routes to avoid potentially lengthy multi-hop wireless paths with low capacity. A set of heuristic-based algorithms are described that together aim to maximize network capacity: the two-tier integrated architecture algorithm, the weighted gateway uploading algorithm, the link-controlled routing tree algorithm, and the alternative channel assignment algorithm. These algorithms use different approaches to arrange multicast group members into a clustered and two-tier integrated architecture in which network protocols can make use of multiple gateways to improve system throughput. Simulation results are used to determine the performance of the different approaches.

Abstract-This paper presents a route management protocol for multi-homed infrastructured WMNs aiming to preserve active sessions of mobile nodes. Every Mesh Access Point (MAP) has at least one MAP interface configured as a traditional AP and another one dedicated to the WMN backhaul. The clients are mesh-unaware to avoid installing special software on them.We propose a mechanism based on dynamic IP-within-IP tunnels to pin routes and guarantee (in time) the communication between clients and Internet Gateways. MAPs select the best gateway for each new connection and maintain tunnels for the connection duration to allow the seamless communication during the whole flow life. When a client changes MAP, the old and the new one exchange tunnel information so that the new MAP reestablishes tunnels with the correct gateway ensuring smooth packet delivery.The protocol is an extension to OLSRD, and has been implemented in Linux-based MAPs. Evaluation is carried out both emulating complex scenarios with User Mode Linux (UML) and in a real WMN testbed.
