Resiliency Mechanism in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Problem Statement Today, network services (like email, World Wide Web etc) [1-2] have become a basic need in day-to-day communication. For providing these network services more effectively, WMN (Wireless Mesh Network) [3-6] has turned into a popular topology which builds high performance infrastructure. With the growth of network services, several types of network communication threats (node/link failure) are moreover coming into existence. Let us take an example: In a network of 10 nodes, suppose S is the source node and J is the destination node and remaining eight nodes are the intermediate nodes through which data will be send from source node to destination node. If some intermediate nodes/links are failed (as shown in figure 1) then in that case how to send the data from source to destination.
