Development of a Routing Framework for a Cluster-Based Congestion Avoidance and Load Balancing Algorithm for IEEE802.11s Mesh Network

摘要

This study is focused on the design and development of efficient congestion avoidance and routingalgorithm framework in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs). The framework will employ the use of clusteringalgorithm to booster the routing protocol with particular attention being paid to the aggregated data packetsat the intermediate nodes toward the gateway in wireless mesh network. The design uses the enhancedweighted clustering algorithm as base algorithm because of the advantages identified in this protocol fromprevious research. Efforts are made to integrate congestion avoidance, load balancing routing and theclustering algorithm with the greater hope of achieving low routing overheads, end to end delay whilethroughout and data delivery ratio expected to witness high increase.
