SCOPE
--------
The increasing demand of wire-free connectivity has been driving the
development of new and easy-to-deploy wireless networking solutions.
Within this field, Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are envisioned to provide
an effective solution for several services and applications domains,
such as community networks and municipal networks. On the other hand, WMN
deployments pose several challenges to the network designers and operators.
First, WMNs often feature large scales in terms of the number of network
devices, users, and services to be supported, and in terms of their
geographical
dimensions. Further, communication support in WMNs is carried out through
the "cooperation" of wireless devices in a multi-hop manner, and it requires
different algorithms and protocols (medium access control, routing,
transport) that interact in a nontrivial manner. The network designers and
operators
often do not have complete control over the environment, and hence WMNs must
be able to self-configure and adapt to unpredictable changes automatically.
Such distinctive features and intrinsic complexity of WMNs call for a deeper
understanding on the fundamental principles governing these networks.
To this extent, the design, analysis and deployment of WMNs require
quantitative methods to plan/optimize the network structure, to assess
the network performances (e.g., in terms of, throughput, delay and energy
consumption), as well as to steer the design of low-complexity
centralized/distributed algorithms and communication protocols.
The purpose of this special issue is to collect papers on cutting-edge
research about the theoretical foundations of wireless mesh networking.
Contributions are solicited within the two broad fields of performance
evaluation and algorithm design for WMNs.
The submitted paper must have a consistent analytical and theoretical
flavor. Experimental contributions fall outside the scope of the special
issue.
Contributions with experimental performance evaluation only fall outside the
scope of the special issue.
