Abstract: Combining the performance advantages of both Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) and Ad hoc network, Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is characterized by large capacity, high rate and wide coverage . It has become an effective means for broadband wireless access and can be applied flexibly in various wireless environments . The wired connections between base stations in traditional cellular mobile communications systems can no longer satisfy the requirements for flexible deployment, low cost, high scalability and good reliability. The wireless Mesh architecture for IP - based base stations is thus introduced as an optional solution to support the flat and simplified next generation mobile communications networks . The key technologies used to support self- organization of IP - based base stations involve several aspects , including on - demand self- organization of base stations , joint radio resource scheduling mechanism, routing , security and network management.
