Abstract

Using the multi-rate feature of the IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol in a wireless mesh network (WMN) increases efficiency in network-wide message broadcasting. A challenging problem is to achieve minimal latency for network-wide broadcasting in a multi-rate wireless mesh network (MrWMN). The three features, including the multi-rate characteristics, the source scheduling to obtain the routing decision, and the multi-radio solution to avoid the interference, add great complexities to this research issue. In this paper, we propose a distributed source routing algorithm that exploits the multi-rate feature to achieve low latency network-wide broadcasting in WMNs. Multi-radio is utilized to resolve the interferences among neighboring nodes. Simulation results show that, compared to the existing best known results under various network settings, our approach produces lower latency for network-wide broadcasting in the MrWMN.
