MobiMESH: a Complete Solution for Wireless Mesh Networking

A Survey on Infrastructure-Based Vehicular Networks

“…The performance of the network is deeply studied in works [58,[70][71][72], and the available communication hardware is evaluated in order to find out better solutions [12]. Testbeds are proposed in [73,74] to evaluate practical aspects related to the vehicular communication, while requirements of privacy and security of the infrastructure are addressed in [47]. Moreover, Fiore and Härri [75] present an in-depth analysis of the topological properties of a vehicular network and found that simulation results are strongly affected by the mobility model, and they question the validity of studies conducted under unrealistic car mobility scenarios.…”

“…Mesh networks are typically free-standing robust systems that can be conveniently integrated with the existing infrastructure and offer high bit rate services. Authors do not assume vehicles as end nodes (such as those proposed in [31][32][33]73]), but as mesh nodes connecting the wireless medium and acting as routers. They argue that such new point of view is important because it allows the routing protocol to run on the mobile node itself, better adapting to the high-mobility profile of the node.…”

A Virtual Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Model to Improve Internet Connectivity among Heterogeneous Mobile Devices

“…Many researchers have explored aspects of the IMANET structure for internet connectivity between mobile users [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] and addressed the issues of designing network architecture, mobility management, caching mechanisms, and design of routing protocols for destination nodes and gateways. For example, Capone et al proposed a Mobi-MESH network architecture for designing internet connectivity in MANETs [4], which provides a complete framework for analyzing, studying, and testing the behavior of a mesh network in the real-life environment.…”

“…Shiv et al proposed a network model that serves as an intermediate node between mobile nodes, where each base station acts as a gateway to access the internet traffic [7]. Yuan et al proposed a two-tier hierarchical architecture model for accessing internet by mobile users [8]. Kumar et al proposed an Internet connectivity model using different gateways for both fixed and mobile users [9].…”

Heterogeneous Wireless Mesh Network Technology Evaluation for Space Proximity and Surface Applications

“…6 Performance studies show that newer protocols are more scalable and agile with lower overhead. 7 Versions now exist with link quality sensing 8 . OLSR is a proactive layer 3 protocol, which offers portability to more systems and enables the protocol to span link layers.…”
