Abstract:Abstract-a wireless mesh network (WMN) is cost-effective access network architecture. The performance of multi-hop communication quickly reduces as the number of hops becomes larger. Nassiri et al. proposed a Molecular MAC protocol for autonomic assignment and use of multiple channels to improve network performance. In the Molecular MAC protocol, each node forms a shortest path-spanning tree to a gateway node linked to a wired Internet. After a tree is formed, the nodes with an even-numbered depth and an odd-n… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
