An Upper Bound of the Throughput for Multi-Radio Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

This paper focuses on how to determine an upper bound of maximum throughput from mesh clients to the Internet (or from the Internet to mesh clients) for multi-radio Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) under an interference-free assumption. In the case of the number of channels for assignment being high enough in a multi-radio WMN to meet the interference-free assumption, then the resulting solution can provide the basis for channel assignment and routing to achieve optimal throughput.
