Project Title: Efficient Distribution of Content in Multi-Rate Multi-channel Wireless Mesh Networks
Grant Scheme: ARC Discovery DP0664791 (2006-2008)
Description:
Emerging Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is a disruptive technology which has shorter deployment time and lower cost compared with its competitors. Furthermore, the deployment of broadband WMNs will enable an exciting range of new multimedia applications such as broadcast of community events or local content to homes. In order to realise these applications, this project aims to develop scalable and efficient one-to-many communication, i.e., broadcast and multicast, algorithms in the next generation of WMNs that have multi-rate multi-channel nodes. This is a significant leap compared with the current state of the art of routing in WMNs which is characterised by unicast in a single-rate single-channel environment.
