ABSTRACT
This chapter considers large-scale wireless mesh networks (WMN) that serve as wireless access networks over large geographic areas. It draws on the latter type of medium access control schemes. The chapter presents the performance of large-scale WMNs that serve as access networks over large geographic areas. It also considers the protocol created in, a protocol through which every mesh routers (MR) in the WMN acquires one broadcast time slot that supports a minimum average received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio from the MR to its entire neighbor MRs. The chapter analyses the WMN simulator implements a proactive routing protocol that is based on minimum-cost spanning trees, similar to the hybrid wireless mesh protocol with mesh portals of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11s standards. It suggests that two link metrics for best-effort web traffic: one link metric is a constant, and the other link metric is the physical transmission time per unit data size under a certain idealized scenario.
