Load Balancing Multipath Routing Protocol In Wireless Mesh Networks

Existing routing scheme in Ad hoc networks can not work efficiently in wireless mesh networks because the resource restricts for multipath. In this paper, we developed a congestion-aware multipath routing protocol (MPR) for wireless mesh network. At first, we design and implement a routing discovery scheme to establish multipath, based on the load of each paths, the available bandwidth of each path in multipath can be obtained, which can used for path selection when the congestions occurred. Simulation results show improved performance of network transmissions in terms of packet loss.
