Wireless mesh networks are usually formed by self-organized nodes and characterized by high reliability and modularity, low-cost deployment, and easiness of reconfigurability. In order to improve wireless mesh network performance, several approaches have been recently proposed. Among them, one promising solution seems to be the multiradio interface approach where nodes forming the mesh network are equipped with more than one radio interface. The aim of this paper is to provide an IEEE 802.11 distributed coordination function analytical model to study the behavior of single-hop multi-interface mesh networks in which nodes use a uniform random interface selection strategy to identify the radio interface to be used. The accuracy of the proposed analytical approach is validated by comparing analytical predictions with simulation results under actual conditions. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
