ABSTRACT
We have built a wireless mesh network testbed, which is tolerant of disaster and aim to resolve a digital divide issue in rural mountain areas. This testbed is located in two areas and has total 22 nodes which are installed on the power poles in these areas. Two areas are connected to a control server at Niigata university with broadband wireless access systems using 5 GHz band via a gate way node at the local-government office, which is located at the center of two areas. Each node has two wireless LAN interfaces with IEEE 802.11b/g and a wireless LAN access point. We measure the throughput and the packet transmission successful ratio of links in our testbed. Moreover, we investigate the technical issues to manage and operate the mesh network in the rural mountain areas.

Multi-channel Busy-tone Multiple Access for Scalable Wireless Mesh Network
AINAW '07: Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Advanced Information Networking and Applications Workshops - Volume 02This paper proposes a multi-channel medium access control (MAC) protocol for wireless mesh networks (WMNs) by using busy tones to prevent data packet collisions at data channels. Multi-channel MAC schemes can achieve higher network throughput than ...
