| Abstract | Wireless mesh networks have received increasing attention in recent years because of their attractive benefits such as easy network deployment, stable topology, robustness and reliable coverage. Network routing plays a crucial role in determining the performance of a wireless mesh network. Although most of previous researches assume static and known traffic demand, whether they could be applied for practical use under highly dynamic and uncertain traffic in wireless mesh network is still an open issue. Several researches have been done to achieve better throughput performance in the presence of dynamic traffic demand in routing. Oblivious routing has been proved an effective approach to tackle the routing problem when traffic demand uncertainty exists. An oblivious routing based architecture, called non-blocking network, is proposed. Analytical model to find the optimal routing scheme for unicast network is developed. The optimal solution to the unicast routing network problem can be solved with linear programming. To evaluate the performance of the proposed problem formulation under realistic network traffic environment, trace-driven simulation is conducted. In particular, the traffic demand for the mesh nodes of the WMN is simulated based on the traffic traces collected at Dartmouth College campus wireless networks. The result of trace-driven analysis shows that utilizing nonblocking network in WMNs can be of great significance relating to QoS aware routing in WMNs. |
