Preface
Wireless mesh networking is a hot and growing topic, still in its infancy in
some ways, whilst already shown to be capable in others. From a military
beginning, mesh networks moved to civilian use and are now being
deployed worldwide as both local area networks (LANs) and metro-
politan area networks (MANs). However, these deployments are still
‘leading edge’ and it is not yet clear what the most enduring applications
of mesh will be – particularly as the market moves from early adopters
towards widespread take up.
Some of the claims for what a mesh network may deliver have been
very ambitious to say the least. In this book we investigate such claims
versus the real qualities of mesh networks and identify the key time scales
and drivers for the challenges involved with making meshes. Throughout
the book we attempt to keep mathematics to a minimum. Where an
equation is shown, it remains practical to follow the flow of the book
without needing to understand the maths fully.
The book takes a very pragmatic but balanced approach to the issues.
We are particularly interested in meshes with an external access cap-
ability, for example to the Internet. We supply a technical assessment of
mesh and multi-hop networking, highlight the attractions, identify the
pitfalls, provide clear and concise hints and tips for success – summarised
inside the back cover – and finally evaluate some real-world examples
of good mesh applications. These include wireless cities, community
networking and vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs). Wireless sensor
networks (WSNs) are another important application of mesh techniques
with their own unique challenges, and these receive their own chapter.
We conclude that, although some of the claims for what a mesh may
deliver have been exaggerated, the real qualities of a mesh network when
directed to a suitable application can still make mesh the best approach.

Acknowledgements
The author is very pleased to be able to thank past and present colleagues
for many vigorous and entertaining technical discussions. Two former
colleagues, Malcolm Crisp and James Newman, deserve special thanks
for the many animated brainstorms we had together whilst deliberating
the issues in Chapter 4. I was fortunate enough to be able to talk to many
experts including Saleem Bhatti who expanded my appreciation of net-
working issues, especially for sensors. Other experts included Peter
Massam who made many useful comments on modulation schemes,
Peter Ramsdale who is now sadly missed, Frank Rowsell, Chris Davis,
Nee Joo Teh, Stuart Walker, Ahmad Atefi and last but certainly not least
William Webb, our book series editor, who provided many very helpful
suggestions for the manuscript. Finally, I also belatedly want to thank
Peter Cochrane who gave me so much encouragement in my first role all
those years ago at BTRL.
Thanks are also due to my wife for her support at all times without
exception and to our two sons for having such boundless energy which is
a constant source of inspiration.

1 Mesh overview and terminology
The Internet is now firmly part of our everyday life. We perform many
common tasks on-line, such as banking, grocery and gift shopping and the
purchasing of travel or cinema tickets. Plus we get a growing portion of our
entertainment from on-line sources: entertainment and social networking are
two of the largest growth areas. We have seen the beginning of basic quality
video from, for example, YouTube and the development of social networking
sites such as MySpace and FaceBook, which have been enormously popular,
especially amongst younger generations of consumers. If we are to continue
in this trend of doing more on-line, our need for bandwidth will increase. And
in future we might expect to generate appreciable content ourselves, for
upload onto the Internet, as well as to continue to download content. But that
is not all; our need for Internet availability and quality will also increase.
It would be very convenient if such future Internet access were also
wireless, with the near ubiquitous service we are used to from cellular
phones. However, building a new network to achieve this, or upgrading
an existing network to support this, would mean installing or changing a
great deal of infrastructure. What then if a method existed which promised
improved Internet access with fewer requirements for new infrastructure?
This is widely advertised as the domain of the mesh network.
This chapter begins with a top-level introduction to mesh networking,
then looks at how meshes may fit into the larger telecommunications
infrastructure, before moving on to classify and explain the basic proper-
ties of a mesh. Finally the chapter closes by bringing together the key
issues for mesh networking and by linking these issues to the structure of
the book. This includes four hypotheses of how meshes might be expected
to bring networking benefits. The hypotheses are real, having been taken
from a growing mass of mesh-centric literature at the time this book was
written. Testing these hypotheses will form a useful basis for investigation
and they will be revisited often as we progress through the book.

2 mesh overview and terminology
Turning, at last, to the mesh network, once again we can infer its prime
working attribute from its name. Meshes are all around us in one form or
another – think of a spider’s web, Figure 1.1, or the grid pattern of streets
in a downtown area (and there is an application clue...). Imagine that at
each material intersection there is a node. What these examples have in
common, for our purposes, is two-fold:
