QoS-Aware Service Selection and Multicast Framework for Wireless Mesh Networks

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a multi-hop, multi-path network that has become the most favored method in delivering end-to-end data, voice and video. Data transmission through WMN has the security and reliability, same as the conventional wired networks. Since, WMN has a decentralized topology, maintaining QoS is very crucial. Hence in this work, we propose to develop a WMN that selects services based on high QoS. In order to avoid redundancy in data transmission, in this work we propose to develop an efficient framework for multicasting by determining the most effective path for transmitting the same data towards multiple destination nodes. By simulation results, we show that the proposed technique provides better QoS in terms of throughput and packet delivery ratio.
