This book highlights routing protocols for wireless mesh networks (WMNs IEEE 802.11s). It
provides an overview of the wireless networks (history MANET family of IEEE 802.11 WMNS
etc.) and routing protocols such as AODV DSR OLSR etc and also highlights two resolutions
of routing protocols with respect to end-to-end delay packet delivery ratio and routing
overhead in WMNs. Wireless mesh networks have become a hot topic for researcher into the
deployment of wireless networks and they represents the connectivity of mesh networking in
IEEE 802.11 amendment in static and ad-hoc networks. Moreover WMNs have numerous attractive
features such as highly reliable connectivity easy deployment self-healing self-configuring
and flexible network expansion. The book describes two routing mechanisms: novel cluster-based
routing protocols (NCBRP) and decentralized hybrid wireless mesh protocol (DHWMP).
