THE PERFORMANCE AND SECURITY OF WIRELESS MESH NETWORKS

The project entitled "The performance and security of Wireless Mesh Networks" aims to find all the issues that affect the performance of the meshed wireless network. There is no denying the fact that out of the wireless technologies that are being used in today's environment the wireless meshed technology is one of the most advanced and can be called as the future technology. The project will deals closely into this aspect like throughput, security and performance as they have direct influence on the performance of the network. This project on the performance of wireless mesh network is subdivided into various categories explaining the primary structure of wireless mesh networks. Performance of the network has always been the key issue with reliability been the core of evaluating the quality of the network. The routing protocols that exist in this network and which help the network to perform better are being looked for and the best routing protocol is suggested. This helps to improve the throughput which is main aspect for maintaining the good performance. The main problem with the wireless meshed network is maintaining the security as it has a distributed system. This area is also considered as it improves the performance. Also the network should be scalable to properly utilize the frequency and get the best out of the network. This is required for the successful delivery of the data packets. Thus, this area is also probed along with some other factors. Last but not the least, there is a discussion about the future work that needs to be done and specifying a system that will help to increase the performance of the system.School of Computing, communication and Electronic
