摘要: Although the wireless broadband access system is developing rapidly, its development is limited due to some disadvantages , such as small capacity of bandwidth and small coverage . The Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is one of the important technologies for last mile broadband wireless access . The WMN can integrate with multiple wireless systems , such as Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN), and Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN), to improve the performance of the wireless network and enlarge the coverage range . With the wide applications of the WMN, the IEEE 802 standard group is devoted to promoting the development of the WMN technology and establishing the related technical standards . At present, WMN standards have appeared in IEEE 802 . 11s , 802 . 15 , 802 . 16 , and 802 . 20 .
