Traffic Scheduling Algorithm for Wireless Mesh Networks Based Defense Networks Incorporating Centralized Scheduling Architecture

Abstract

Wireless mesh networks (WMN) are the networks of the future which are flexible, easy to deploy and can support high data rate triple play (voice, video and data) services. WMNs are ideal for future defense networks. WMN can operate on multi protocols ranging from WiFi, WiMax and LTE. To enable the support of high data rate services WMN should incorporate optimum traffic scheduling algorithms which will improve the performance of the WMN in highly loaded traffic scenarios for a combat communication network. In this paper, we propose an efficient traffic scheduling algorithms to improve the overall blocking probability of the WMN employed for defense networks and the same is substantiated by the simulation results.
