New Modeling Method for Wireless Mesh Networks

Accurate modeling of wireless mesh networks(WMN) is the foundation for various studies on WMN.In this paper,a new accurate model is proposed to analyze the theoretic values of performance parameters in saturation status,such as packet loss rate,packet sending probability.Simulation results validate the correctness of the proposed model.Meanwhile,a method to calculate theoretical ETX(expected transmission count) value for routing algorithm is given,which could effectively reduce the bandwidth consumption through avoiding probe packet transmission.
