Summary: | 碩士 === 樹德科技大學 === 資訊管理研究所 === 94 === In recent years, the application of wireless mesh network, a novel wireless broadband access technology, has provided a quite attractive solution for last-mile broadband internet access service and attracted significant attentions. The wireless mesh network, composed of multiple mesh access points and mesh clients, combines both the advantages of ad hoc networks and infrastructure networks. A mesh access point in the wireless mesh network uses an ad hoc mode wireless interface to communicate with other mesh access points, and mesh clients connect to its neighboring mesh access points by using the infrastructure mode.
In this research, a wireless mesh networks experimental platform based on embedded system is conducted to evaluation the performance of commonly used routing protocols in wireless mesh networks, such as OSPF, AODV. However, it still has some problems. Therefore, we propose a multi-gateway architecture and apply the integration technology for GPRS and wireless LAN heterogeneous multiple access networks to improve the performance of the wireless mesh network.
