Wireless mesh networking has recently become a viable solution for networking for the environment where it is hard to prepare for networking infrastructure. However, it is well known that packet loss increases exponentially as the size of the network grows, and thus, it is often not robust enough in practice. In this paper, we present mesh slicing, a technique for making a wireless mesh network (WMN) more robust against high packet loss by duplicating traffic over multiple virtual wireless mesh networks that run different routing algorithms. We introduce the design of Mesh slicing and evaluate using ns-3 simulator to show our proposed technique can successfully make a given WMN more robust against high packet loss situation.
