Abstract: The continuous increase of data transmission density in wireless mobile communications has posed a challenge to the system performance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs ). There is a rule for wireless Ad hoc networks that the average node capacity decreases while the number of nodes increas es , so it is hard to establish a large - scale wireless Mesh network. Network scalability is very important for enhancing the adaptive networking capability of the wireless Mesh network. This article discusses key s calability technologies for Mesh Base Stations (BSs ) and Mesh Mobile Stations (MSs ), such as channel allocation , intelligent routing , multi- antenna , node classification , Quality of Service (QoS ) differentiation and cooperative transmission .
