Network Coding Based Algorithm for WMN Scenario

 Abstract—Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) provide significant benefits over existing wireless multi-hop networking paradigms, offering a suitable solution for various application scenarios. WMNs utilize legacy-based routing protocols for their communication. A set of innovative routing approaches have been studied. In this paper a classification of the most representative solutions in literature for WMNs is provided. A performance issue observed in WMNs is accumulation of data around the gateway nodes causing congestion and a degradation of output of the network. From the literature research conducted an algorithm is proposed.
