“…All these studies focused on single-hop WLANs. A few recent works [37], [38], [39] examined multihop performance in 802.11n WMNs, studying the impact of the 802.11n features on UDP throughput and video streaming. A single chain with nodes close to each other was used for all the experiments.…”

“…The rationale for this function is to achieve an increased negative impact for additional hops in short paths while relieving the impact of additional hops for long paths where the quality of the links becomes much more important. This characteristic is not provided by the strictly additive hop count or ETX metrics, but relevant when optimizing for throughput in a wireless multihop network [18]. Another interesting characteristic of the VM metric is its penalization of paths with un-balanced links via the square-root product of its links which should avoid bottlenecks along a path.…”

Abstract-Modeling the performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a task that has received a lot of attention and has produced a large body of related literature. Most of the times, such literature is based on analytic assumptions or computer simulations, and results not always match reality. In this paper we use data collected over a one-month period in a 50-nodes wireless community network in Barcelona to compare the experimental throughput we measured over multi-hop paths with the capacity estimated using the well known conflict graph model introduced in [1]. Our experiments show that the model generally overestimates the available capacity, despite the availability of precise information on the underlying network graph. We also use the data to test the performance of the BMX6 routing protocol that runs on the network nodes and show that in the large majority of cases the path chosen by BMX6 corresponds to the path with the highest available capacity, which is a key feature to guarantee the maximum exploitation of the network resources.

“…It is already known [10] that the accuracy of the popular Packet Pair technique suffers at the highest 802.11a/g bitrates (36)(37)(38)(39)(40)(41)(42)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48)(49)(50)(51)(52)(53)(54). It is expected that the accuracy will drop even further at the highest 802.11n bitrates enabled by multiple MIMO streams and channel bonding.…”

In the recent past, link quality-based routing metrics, such as ETX and ETT, have been shown to significantly outperform the traditional hopcount metric in legacy 802.11a/b/g wireless mesh networks (WMNs). The new 802.11n standard introduces a number of enhancements at the MAC/PHY layers (MIMO technology, channel bonding, frame aggregation, and more aggressive modulation and coding schemes) marking the beginning of a new generation of 802.11 radios. In this paper, we conduct one of the first experimental studies of the performance of link quality-based routing metrics in a 21-node indoor 802.11n WMN. Our study reveals that the gains of link quality-based metrics over the hopcount metric in legacy 802.11 WMNs do not carry over in 802.11n MIMO WMNs. We analyze the causes of this behavior and make recommendations for the design of new routing metrics in 802.11n WMNs.
