Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) is distributed broadband wireless network architecture with characteristic of high throughput and high data rate. The quantity of research being conducted in this area has dramatically increased recently. Medium Access Control (MAC) is the key technology to exploit the multi-hop advantage of WMN. This paper introduces two major research topic of MAC design in WMN, the topology control and link scheduling. A survey of recent research on these topics is given in detail.
