Overview:

A WLAN mesh network is a IEEE 802.11 WLAN infrastructured network in which the communication within the Access Points in the same Extended Service Set (ESS) is hop-by-hop in a router-like fashion. The IEEE 802.11s working group has centered the target of focusing on the MAC layer protocol, understanding how the current MAC procedures are insufficient to sustain a WLAN Mesh network and how functions typical of higher layers must be part of the MAC itself to grant good levels of efficiency and bandwidth utilization. This paper proposes a routing protocol embedded in the MAC which takes advantage from directional antennas at the physical layer in the communication between the APs of a WLAN Mesh network.
