A Survey of Recovery Techniques in Wireless Mesh Networks

As communication services turns very important in disaster affected areas, the recovery of the remaining infrastructure becomes very much necessary. Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) serves as a cost effective technology that provides backbone infrastructure to yield city-wide network access. Due to the self-recovery characteristics of Wireless Mesh Network (WMN), it has been used as an appropriate solution for network access in disaster areas. Several techniques have been proposed by many researchers for efficient recovery of WMN. In this survey, we particularly focus on such techniques and provide conclusion on the advantages of these techniques
