Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networking is a continuous growing
technology that can be used used for several application
scenarios, such as military tactical operations, etc. in
next generation wireless networks. The IEEE 802.11s
Standard defines the procedures that wireless nodes
follow in order to interconnect and create aWireless
Local Area Network (WLAN) mesh network. It, also, defines
the routing protocol and the metric that are used by a
IEEE 802.11s mesh network to route data. However,
although the energy consumption of mesh nodes is a
crucial parameter for the network's lifetime in specific
purpose operations (e.g. military and health) the default
metric proposed by the standard doesn 't take into
account the energy of the nodes. In this paper, a new
energy - aware routing metric for the IEEE 802.11s mesh
networks has been implemented. Simulation results showed
that the proposed metric prolongs the lifetime of a WMN
in comparison with the the default metric used by IEEE
802.11s Standard while causing a little higher total
delay in the network.
