ABSTRACT
Wireless mesh network (WMN) consists of mesh gateways, mesh routers and mesh clients. In hybrid WMN, both backbone mesh network and client mesh network are mesh connected. Capacity analysis of multi-hop wireless networks has proven to be an interesting and challenging research topic. The capacity of hybrid WMN depends on several factors such as traffic model, topology, scheduling strategy and bandwidth allocation strategy, etc. In this paper, the capacity of hybrid WMN is studied according to the traffic model and bandwidth allocation. The traffic of hybrid WMN is categorized into internal and external traffic. Then the capacity of each mesh client is deduced according to appropriate bandwidth allocation. The analytical results show that hybrid WMN achieves lower capacity than infrastructure WMN. The results and conclusions can guide for the construction of hybrid WMN.
