Talk:Wireless mesh network

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am wondering if it is right to say "the more nodes, the more bandwidth". On a short distance, every nodes communicating are doing it on the same radio channel. It's like having a LAN made of several computers and a HUB - as they are sharing the same carrier, there can be overloads.

My two cents - I'm not a specialist in networking, but I felt that this point should be clarified.

[edit] Protocols.

I thing that is only important to show what is mainline of protocols. And only protocols that are currently on real tests no virtual simulations only protocols.

Like AODV - Ad-hoc On Demand Distance Vector DSR - Dynamic Source Routing OLSR (Optimized Link State Routing protocol) TORA (Temporally-Ordered Routing Algorithm)

The others are to be only in the Ad hoc protocol list

[edit] Subject Matter

The majority of the article (2nd and 3rd paragraph of introduction) deals with mesh networks in general and not about wireless mesh networks particularly. This information should be moved to the Mesh networking article, and information specific to wireless mesh networks should be put here. --Soumyasch 13:00, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] my addition deleted?

hi!

I am from funkfeuer, a project which is very actively researching into mesh routing and closely cooperating with freifunk (olsr). I wanted to add a link to http://www.funkfeuer.at below the freifunk link and some self acclaimed "wikipedia cleanup" person deleted it. Sorry, but this behaviour basically destroys wikipedia.

My link is not advertisement, we actually do contribute to freifunk, OLSR, we released our own wireless mesh ISP software on sorceforge, we are currently researching into 5GHz multichannel mesh solutions which will be ~ approx as cheap as the linksys.

Please see my reply on your talk page. Thanks Nelson50 17:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Ok , I read your reply and I think you made good points. Now comes the hard point/question for you? Why do you believe that olsrexperiment can be on the link list and funkfeuer can not? There is very little difference, we are working on the same topics and are cross contributing. So. In other words: delete both or leave funkfeuer there please. Otherwise I see no fairness in wikipedia anymore. -- AaronKaplan

[edit] Discuss links here

Editors regularly clean out undiscussed links from this article. Please discuss here if you want a link not to be cleaned out regularly. (You can help!)

I am concerned that some of the external links comprise WP:WPSPAM and "me too" websites that are not notable. This wireless article is by no means alone in this. I'd like to kick of a review and discussion about this with a view towards tidying up the list. Any identified sites could then be removed from other articles, if appropriate. Alternatively, sites already removed could be re-added, if such a consensus emerges.Nelson50 16:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

information from this article should me mentioned in this article if round robin article is redirected to this article. article before newest in round robin is most useful... i guess...

[edit] Green Wi-Fi

I thought of this idea of cheap little mass-produced, solar-powered, weather-proof mesh networking nodes distributed around cities to provide free Internet access and such everywhere (free VoIP calls from Wi-Fi phones to compete with cell networks, etc.)

Someone else had a similar idea for developing nations and started Green WiFi, which is related to the roofnet and $100 laptop projects. This probably deserves its own article.

Another similar idea?Omegatron 15:38, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
