Optimized buffer control mechanism for wireless LAN mesh networks

varsha Anandani

Abstract


In wireless mesh networks, the legacy stations lead to heavy congestions in network due to buffer overflow. Using buffer control mechanisms this drawback is achieved fairly as it services the high priority nodes first and lower priority nodes are kept waiting till back-off time period. In order to address this problem, this paper proposes an optimized congestion scheme for legacy nodes which will help to reduce the back-off time period of lower priority nodes and reduce congestion considerably.
