Overview:

The 802.11s working group has been formed recently to recommend an Extended Service Set (ESS) that enables wider area communications among distributed clients, each of which has access to an IEEE 802.11 Wireless LAN (WLAN). Such coverage can be provided by the implementation of a mesh backbone network that serves to interconnect the WLAN Access Points (APs). This paper presents a scalable, fully distributed topology control algorithm for constructing such a mesh backbone network of access points. Multi-hop communications among distant client stations take place in accordance with a routing algorithm that uses the mesh backbone to establish inter-WLAN routes.
