An Analysis of Routing Protocol Metrics in Wireless Mesh Networks
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN)s play an important
role in todays communication and they are expected to increase
in proliferation in the field of wireless communication in the
near future. Researchers in the area of WMNs address some
issues like low throughput and high latency. Routing Protocols
in WMNs have a vital role in data communication and the key
parameter in all routing protocols is link metrics. In this paper
the majority of link metrics in WMNs are studied in different
categories. Link-quality and traffic-aware metrics account for
most of the metrics, however multi channel network and cognitive
radio systems are also considered in detail. In each section, by
reviewing the metrics and its performance in detail, summary
and comparison tables of link quality metrics are also provided
to enable better understanding of this topic
