Recent Routing Approaches for WMN's: A State of Art

Abstract

WMN's or Wireless Mesh Network is a communication network that has features like self-healing., self-organizing and the ability to create a network automatically in its dynamic environment. It mainly consists of mesh routers., mesh clients and gateways which results in building a rich connection among the devices and nodes. Considering the functionalities of it., this paper presents an overview of different routing protocols for WMN's. In this paper., we analyzed the performances of soft computing and hard computing protocols i.e. AODV., DSR and BBBC. From simulations., we observed that on large networks BBBC based approach outperformed the performances of AODV and DSR.
