Abstract

An ad-hoc network is a special kind of network, where all of the nodes move in time. So the topology of the network changes as the nodes are in the proximity of each other. Ad-hoc networks are generally self-configuring, because of the concept of no stable infrastructure takes a place. The research is focused in Wireless (Ad-Hoc) Mesh Networks. In this network, each node should help relaying packets of neighboring nodes using multi-hop routing mechanism. This deployment is needed to reach far destination nodes to solve problem of dead communication. This multiple traffic "hops" within a wireless mesh network caused dilemma. It can extend the coverage area, but the repeatedly relayed traffic will exhaust the radio resource. Wireless mesh networks that contain multiple hops become increasingly vulnerable to problems such as energy degradation and rapid increasing of overhead packets. Minimizing hop or relay is expected to solve this dilemma.
