A proposed QoS multicast routing framework for next-generation Wireless Mesh Network
Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is the network architecture where nodes (e.g. APs, mesh routers) can communicate with one another via multi-hop routing or forwarding. This is possible because of its dynamic self- organization, self-configuration and self-correction characteristics, which enable...

| Summary: | Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is the network
architecture where nodes (e.g. APs, mesh routers) can
communicate with one another via multi-hop routing or
forwarding. This is possible because of its dynamic self-
organization, self-configuration and self-correction
characteristics, which enable flexible integration, quick
deployment, easy maintenance, low-cost, reliable services
and its capability for capacity enhancement, connectivity
and throughput. Although the current standard defines
Multicast as well as QoS as important issues for
considerations on this type of network, how to merge these
two, especially at the Network layer, has been left to the
discretion of different service providers. This paper
describes a framework for the QoS Multicast routing
provisioning problems in the Next-Generation IEEE
802.11s. We assume a working QoS MAC layer protocol
and propose a framework for ensuring QoS Multicasting at
the Network layer.
