Abstract

The scheduling of data transmission is a very important research issue in a wireless mesh network. However, IEEE 802.16 standard does not provide any scheduling mechanism for a wireless mesh network. In this paper, a multi-path routing supported scheduling algorithm for multi-channel single-transceiver IEEE 802.16 mesh networks is proposed. Instead of using a fixed routing tree, the proposed scheduling algorithm gives subscriber station (SS) freedom to choose a neighboring SS in an elastic way such that parallel link transmission can be maximized. In order to raise the number of, the Multi-Channel Single-Transceiver model is adopted to maximize the data through and resolve the problems caused by secondary interference. To mitigate the traffic bottleneck near BS, it is assumed that BS equips with multi-transceiver to avoid problems with the low neighboring BS transmissions. According to the experiment results, the proposed scheduling algorithm has higher amount of parallel transmission links, lower packet delay, and is more efficient than fixed routing tree scheduling algorithm.
