The Symbiosis of Cognitive Radio and Wireless Mesh Networks

  • Chapter
Guide to Wireless Mesh Networks

Part of the book series: Computer Communications and Networks ((CCN))

Abstract

Although wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have quickly been successfully deployed, the dual usage of wireless communication makes them very resource dependent. Proposed cognitive radio (CR) concepts appear to be a good solution to provide WMNs with additional bandwidth and improved efficiency. In addition, we believe that applying CR to WMN can be very beneficial to CR, speeding the development and acceptance of the technology.
