Routing In Wireless Mesh Networks • Introduction • Architecture • Motivation • Ad Hoc On Demand (AODV) • Research Question • OPNET Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Introduction • An IEEE 802.11 based wireless network • Consists of an interconnection of wireless mesh router • and wireless mesh client with a static backbone. • Two types of mesh client nodes • Type I are equivalent in function as a mesh router (AP) • Type II nodes include wide range of devices, like PDA’s, • laptops or cell phones • Nodes operate as a host and also as a router, forwarding • packets • Reliable , resilient, robust and easily deployed Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Architecture Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Motivation • Proprietary routing protocols • 802.11s task group • Numerous deployments in Arizona • Use of Mobile Ad Hoc Networks’ (MANETs) routing protocols for WMNs (AODV, DSR, OSPF etc) This lack of standards and the availability of only proprietary routing protocols motivates to design an effecient and scalable routing protocol specifically for WMNs Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Difference between WMNs and MANETs • Mesh Routers are relatively static • Traffic Model is different • Traffic concentration may be higher in certain paths (hot spots) • Number of users Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Ad Hoc On Demand (AODV) • A protocol developed for MANETs • Reactive in operation • Route discovery and maintenance using control packets (RREQ, RREP, RERR and HELLO) • Uses minimum hop count as the performance metric Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
AODV Operation Data Data RREQ Source RERR RREP Destination Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Research Problem • Simulating AODV for WMNs • Develop pseudo code algorithms to make AODV efficient for WMNs Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Proposed Solution • Use of multi-path routing • Use of a different routing metric • Either End-to-End delay or • Expected Transmission Count (ETX) Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
Simulator: OPNET • A very sophisticated and well established proprietary tool for network simulation Dilshad Haleem CSE534 fall 2006
