Capacity enhancement qos and rate adaptation in ieee 802 11s a performance improvement perspective

Abstract

Current deployment of wireless community and municipal area networks provide ubiquitous connectivity to end users through wireless mesh backbone that aims at replacing wired infrastructure through wireless multi hop connectivity IEEE 802 11s standard is published recently to support the mesh connectivity over well deployed IEEE 802 11 architecture based on Wireless Fidelity WiFi access network This thesis explores a number of research directions to optimize the mesh peering channel access
