Pointer Based Qos Enabled Mobility Management Algorithms For Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

To enable Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN), The IEEE 802.11s standard be created by a focus on incorporating the hybrid wireless mesh protocol (HWMP). for routing between mesh stations. However, IEEE 802.11s did not address the mobility of exterior station. To tackle client mobility, numerous mobility management schemes were introduced, including ANT, Mesh Mobility Management (M3), Infrastructure Mesh (iMesh), SMesh, MEsh networks by MObility management (MEMO), Wireless mesh Mobility Management (WMM), Static Anchor Scheme, Dynamic Anchor Scheme, LM Mesh, Session-to-Mobility-Ratio base method, with Forward Pointer-Based Mobility Management method (FPBR).Remarkably, not any of these scheme, apart from FPBR, contain seamlessly incorporated through IEEE 802.11s to support mobility for external stations. FPBR, though, was designed primarily for internet traffic. In the context of WMN, it's crucial to address both internet and intranet traffic for external stations. In this study, we introduce an enhanced version of FPBR, referred to as Enhanced FPBR (EFPBR) Scheme, capable of managing both internet as well as intranet transfer. We conduct a comprehensive statistical study and simulation of both HWMP and EFPBR schemes, comparing their performance metrics. Our results demonstrate that EFPBR outperforms IEEE 802.11s in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, routing overhead, standard handoff cost, with the amount of route managing packet transfer for each handoff.
