Abstract

The wireless mesh network is a promising low-cost technology in delivering broadband Internet access and wireless local area network connectivity for stationary and mobile hosts. The envisaged real-time applications over wireless mesh networks such as video-conferencing in rural telemedicine, e-learning, and voice-over-IP are required to operate while meeting the user expectations. Provisioning quality of service for different real-time applications over unreliable multi-hop wireless networks is a challenging task. Highly unpredictable link quality in WMN creates a very dynamic environment to control. Moreover, the multi-hop nature of wireless networks greatly affects the end-to-end network performance due to intra-flow and inter-flow interference created within the nodes. Dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes allocate the unused bandwidth of a network to the needy nodes and provide some level of quality of service to the real-time applications. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of the requirements, technical challenges, and existing works on dynamic bandwidth allocation schemes for supporting the quality of service in wireless mesh networks. We highlight the prospects and problems of related protocols and identify the factors for further improvement.
