“…Although a model without collisions might seem limited, numerous simulation studies show that choosing the blocking range just large enough to preclude collisions gives very good performance, see e.g. [9,21,24,26]. In fact, [20] shows that this choice is throughput-optimal when the activation rates are sufficiently large.…”

Random-access networks may exhibit severe unfairness in throughput, in the sense that some nodes receive consistently higher throughput than others. Recent studies show that this unfairness is due to local differences in the neighborhood structure: nodes with fewer neighbors receive better access. We study the unfairness in saturated linear networks, and adapt the random-access CSMA protocol to remove the unfairness completely, by choosing the activation rates of nodes as a specific function of the number of neighbors. We then investigate the consequences of this choice of activation rates on the network-average saturated throughput, and we show that these rates perform well in non-saturated settings.

“…Although most deployed WLANs are based on the IEEE standard 802.11a/b/g or the emerging IEEE standard 802.11n, the recent amendment IEEE 802.11s provides mesh capability by converging the advantages of different routing protocols [25]. IEEE 802.11s, also known as wireless mesh network (WMN) defines the hybrid wireless mesh protocol (HWMP) which is inspired by a combination of ondemand and tree-based pro-active routing algorithms [26].…”

A plethora of enabling optical and wireless access-metro network technologies have been emerging that can be used to build future-proof bimodal fiber-wireless (FiWi) networks. Hybrid FiWi networks aim at providing wired and wireless quad-play services over the same infrastructure simultaneously and hold great promise to mitigate the digital divide and change the way we live and work by replacing commuting with teleworking. After overviewing enabling optical and wireless network technologies and their QoS provisioning techniques, we elaborate on enabling radio-over-fiber (RoF) and radio-and-fiber (R&F) technologies. We describe and investigate new QoS provisioning techniques for future FiWi networks, ranging from traffic class mapping, scheduling, and resource management to advanced aggregation techniques, congestion control, and layer-2 path selection algorithms.

“…Several alternative [27] schemes exist, such as Mesh Deterministic Access (MDA) an optional 802.11s scheme or Mesh Network Alliance (MNA) scheme. The latter applies the concept of segregating mesh backhaul traffic from client access traffic in contention and non contention periods and spatial frequency reuse, by considering signal strength of neighbor nodes.…”

Abstract. Provision of internet access in infrastructure deficient areas is expected to bring profound economic and humanitarian benefit to developing countries. Notwithstanding, achieving this goal poses an economic and technical challenge. Due to technological and economical reasons cellular networks are regarded to be unable to deliver affordable distribution in the short term. Instead 802.11s wireless mesh networking standard is identified to be a more viable and affordable partial solution to deliver broadband internet in the periphery of developing countries. A general focus is the individual incentive to participate in a mesh network rather than reliance on organisational bodies. This paper designs an architecture and business model for a low cost, low range distribution of internet access. The technical architecture is evaluated using simulation and is found to be viable, but demands optimisation.
