Abstract

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) with a promising future in wireless backhauling applications have attracted the attention of many network research centers and academic researches. High throughput and low delay as essential requirements of a wireless back-bone network demand new topology control algorithms as well as new optimization metrics. In this paper, a topology control algorithm compliant with the structure of WMNs is proposed, as well as a new metric combining the characteristics of different network layers. The proposed metric is compared with the conventional ones such as distance and interference where even an increase of over 100% in the capacity of the network is presented by applying this metric.
