Introduction

A wireless mesh network is a multihop wireless network consisting of A large number of wireless nodes Some gateway nodes and connected with a wired

network. However, low spatial reuse of a single radio

channel (due to wireless interference) poses an impediment to the widespread adoption of WMN as a viable access technology.

Introduction

The minimum latency broadcasting (MLB) problem is particularly challenging in Multi-Radio, Multi-Hop Wireless Mesh Networks

How to support “efficient” broadcast in such networks is an important issue.

5

Network and interference model

The system has C non overlapping orthogonal frequency channels Each node is equipped with Q radio interfaces

where Q <= C. In order to efficiently utilize the network

resources, two radio interfaces at the same node are not tuned to the same channel.

The channel assignment is done by the following channel assignment algorithms CCA, VCA and ISNTC

Network and interference model

A graph ,where l and A denote the latency of each link and the channel assignment function, respectively.

Network and interference model

Link-layer multicast transmissions 4-tuple : the node p V is to transmit to all

the nodes in the set I V in a link-layer multicast using latency l on channel k.

For , the following are required

10

Problem statement

Given the graph , and the broadcast source node s, the objective is to find a set of link-layer multicast transmissions such that: The union of all links from all the transmissions

forms a spanning tree on G The broadcast latency is minimized

Conclusions

The authors proposed four heuristic algorithm for MR2-MC WMNs

PAMT outperforms the other algorithms The performance of CCA (which usually

performs poorly for unicast flows) is generally better than both VCA and INSTC.
