Abstract (Resumen de la ponencia en inglés):
Wireless mesh networks are becoming popular alternatives to wireless LANs and for cost-effective use in varied application environments. There are several technical challenges that must be addressed for mesh networking to be as effective as any other form of broadband networking. Much of these challenges relate to multi-hop wireless communication and limited capacity. The goal of this informal presentation is to facilitate further discussions on these challenges.
This talk will address these issues in two parts. In the first part of the talk, we will overview the ongoing deployment of the Quail Ridge Wireless Mesh Network (QuRiNet); a wide-area mesh testbed encompassing 2000 acres of wild life reserve. In the second part of the talk, we will overview our ongoing research efforts on the topics of multi-channel multi-radio mesh networks, QoS provisioning in wireless mesh, security and reliability of wireless meshes, and other routing and MAC issues.
Some future plans along these lines will conclude the presentation.
