Performance study of WiMAX mesh networks
The aim of this report is to study the performance of Mesh Networks over IEEE Standard 802.16 Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer. IEEE Standard 802.16 is a Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) technology that can connect different IEEE 802.11 networks. Mesh networks consist of static nodes commu...
