CAC-OLSR: Extending OLSR to Provide Admission Control in Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

This work presents an admission control mechanism for multi-hop wireless mesh networks based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and the OLSR routing protocol. This mechanism, called CAC-OLSR, aims at ensuring that traffic flows with quality of service (QoS) requirements, especially voice and video, are only admitted in the mesh network if it has available resources in order to provide flow requirements. In addition, QoS requirements of previously admitted traffic flows cannot be violated. The proposal was evaluated with NS-2 and Evalvid simulations.
