Abstract
The paper forms a basic classification of wireless networks basing on the subsequent functionalities provided by different topologies in comparison to the wired network. Then the focus is placed on the idea of a wireless mesh network as a structure freely mobile and versatile providing many extremely interesting and innovative opportunities in industrial, real-time communication systems. A set of following measurements verifies usability of one of the most popular mesh-based topology control protocols – Spanning Tree Protocol – in terms of different kinds of time-deterministic systems or high reliability systems. In the end final conclusion and an attempt to point the most intriguing issues and directions of research and development is made.
