摘要：Wireless mesh networks have both ad hoc and infrastructure modes to provide multihop data transmission for mesh clients. Because of the hybrid network architecture, the medium access control protocols designed for centralized or distributed networks cannot be directly applied in wireless mesh networks as they severely degrade the network performance. This paper first analyze the network architecture and identify some technical challenges on the design of medium access protocols in wireless mesh networks. The corresponding solutions are reviewed, followed by a brief discussion of some open issues.
