Abstract

This paper explores the advancements and significance of Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) in modern communication technologies, particularly their role in enhancing 4G, 5G, and beyond. It examines the architecture, types of nodes, and various standards of WMNs, highlighting their dynamic, self-organizing nature and cost-effectiveness. The paper also compares WMNs with ad-hoc networks, addressing protocol design and other critical issues. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential of WMNs to provide flexible, scalable, and reliable network solutions, and can serve as an essential reference for researchers and industry professionals.
