Interference plays a complex and often defining role on the overall performance of wireless
networks, especially in multi-hop scenarios. Understanding this role is critical for …

Abstract In Multi Hop Wireless Networks (MHWNs), nodes act both as end-hosts as well as
intermediate routers. When communication occurs, these nodes form chains between …

This paper presents a comparative study between results of a single channel multihop
wireless network testbed and the network simulators ns-2 and ns-3. We explore how well …

IEEE 802.11-based Stub Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are a cost-effective and flexible
solution to extend wired network infrastructures. Yet, they suffer from two major problems …

A critical performance metric of multi-hop wireless networks is the end-to-end throughput of
a multi-hop wireless path. When the packets of a traffic flow originating from a source node …

A substitution network is a wireless solution whose purpose is to bring back connectivity or
to provide additional bandwidth capacity to a network that just suffered a failure or a …

Chains or multi-hop paths are the fundamental communication structure in multi-hop
wireless networks. Understanding chain behavior is critical in order to build effective higher …

In wireless mesh networks, throughput degrades drastically as the network size grows
mainly due to the hidden node problem and carrier sense interference. These phenomena …

Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) based MAC protocols induce several types of
harmful interactions, such as hidden and exposed terminals, in wireless networks. Existing …

Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) protocols are unable to effectively arbitrate the
medium in multi-hop wireless networks; problems such as hidden and exposed terminals …
