	Wireless mesh network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mesh networks are also extremely reliable, as each node is connected to several other nodes.
		With mesh technology and adaptive radio, devices in a mesh network will only connect with other devices that are in a set range.
		However, one feature of wireless mesh networks is that an operator need only deploy a minimal base station infrastructure, and allow the users themselves to extend the network.

	Mesh networking - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mesh networking is a way to route data, voice and instructions between nodes.
		Mesh networks are self-healing: the network can still operate even when a node breaks down or a connection goes bad.
		A mesh network is a networking technique which allows inexpensive peer network nodes to supply back haul services to other nodes in the same network.

		The subject of this article is mesh networks, another technology that is gradually maturing to a point where it cannot be ignored when considering various wireless networking technologies for deployment.
		Network robustness: The character of mesh topology and ad-hoc routing promises greater stability in the face of changing conditions or failure at single nodes, which will quite likely be under rough and experimental conditions.
		While the 50% reduction in bandwidth is the most qouted limitation of single radio mesh networks, there are others related to the fact that all radios share the same channel and hence the network as a whole is extremely vulnerable to channel interference from adjacent networks or external effects.

	TechOnLine - Mesh Networks: Wireless, but Reliable
		The nodes of a mesh network typically run on common AA batteries that don't have to be replaced for three to five years—a big advantage in applications, such as building automation and industrial control, where nodes often go into places that are difficult to access.
		When the nodes of a mesh network send information, the data packets hop from one node to another until they finally reach their destination.
		In sensor networks, for example, a temperature sensor might need to acquire and send a temperature reading only once a minute and the node can be in sleep mode the rest of the time.

		Mesh networking is another source of good news with application far beyond out UWB home networks.
		For those who aren't familiar with the concept, a mesh network turns every node into a router and repeater, and data more or less finds its way from where it is kept to where it is needed.
		Mesh networks are not only powerful, they are resilient, and they make very efficient use of bandwidth.

		In a multi-hop mesh network, small nodes that act as simple routers are installed throughout a home or office by simply plugging them into a power outlet.
		Mesh networks provide significant advantages because they can adapt to changes in network topology, such as nodes being added and removed or changes in location of devices.
		Mesh networks also provide greater redundancy and may be used for traffic balancing.

		A mesh network is self-healing because human intervention is not necessary for re-routing of messages.

		"Mesh networks can be more reliable than other kinds of networks, because if a single node goes down, other nodes are available," says Rob Poor, cofounder of Ember Corp., a startup that is bringing wireless mesh networks to radio-unfriendly environments.
		His company recently installed a radio-based mesh network in a water treatment plant that contains such a byzantine arrangement of concrete walls, pipes, and other obstacles that an 802.11b wireless network wouldn't have a chance.
		One of the most promising aspects of mesh networks is their ability to reassemble themselves to fit changing environments.

		Although point-based wireless networks that use unlicensed radio bands in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz range are often inexpensive and uncomplicated to install, they quickly max out their potential when line-of-sight obstacles stand in the way or the number of points exceeds a relatively low limit.
		The successor and perhaps ongoing complement to point-to-point is a mesh network.
		Mesh networks divide almost neatly into two types: fixed wireless installations that connect multiple locations and mobile, peer-to-peer, ad-hoc networks that have variable availability and a potentially everchanging set of members.

		Mesh networking is typically implemented in two basic modes: infrastructure and/or client meshing.
		Client meshing enables wireless peer-to-peer networks to form between and among client devices (i.e., end users) and does not require any network infrastructure to be present.
		That is, it supports simultaneous operation of infrastructure and client meshing while allowing clients to move seamlessly between infrastructure-based and client-based peer-to-peer networks.

		Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are undergoing rapid progress and inspiring numerous deployments.
		Mesh connectivity significantly enhances network performance, such as fault tolerance, load balancing, throughput, protocol efficiency; and dramatically reduces cost.
		Networking protocols for mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) and wireless sensor networks have considered multipoint-to-multipoint connectivity; however, their design have been focused on either issues of frequent topology changes due to high mobility, or a power efficiency mechanism.

		In multi-hop wireless networks, communication between two end nodes is carred out through a number of intermediate nodes whose function is to relay information from one point to another.
		In such an environment, hybrid technologies and/or hierarchical network organization can be used for differentiating wireless access from wireless infrastructure links; power consumption is not a primary concern as relaying nodes are fixed and wire-powered; traffic patterns may be asymmetric and, rather than involving pairs of end-nodes, mostly involve communication to and from wired gateways.
		The scope of this issue includes all aspects of mesh networks, including network architecture, protocol design and analysis, algorithms for resource allocation and routing, performance analysis, error control, system implementation and measurement, cross layer design, etc. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions.

		Furthermore, because link distances are shorter in a mesh network, there is also less inteference between clients.
		In a well-populated mesh network it will be possible to send packets by different routes so that any one client-relay point will see only every second or third packet in a transmission hopping through it.

		The job of the network is to discover the links between the mobile nodes and to build paths so that any user can communicate with any other user, as long as each has a link to the ad hoc network.
		One use of this is to allow routers that have a wired connection to a fixed network to advertise a default route for the mobile nodes.
