A Scheme to Address Routers in MIMO Triangular Wireless Overlay Mesh

Abstract

A scheme to address router nodes is given for wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) with multiple input multiple output (MIMO) character. Both the wireless transceiver number of a node and geographical topology mesh contribute to wireless overlay model by placing link into different channel planes edge in case of interference. The triangular mesh is an important overlay topology for wireless networks. The router node addressing scheme keeps its instinct symmetric property. Several general cases over the addressing scheme are also discussed for the shortest routing path and the node coordination itself. The interference relation is abstracted into set models. Furthermore, the length of the shortest path is also given by a formula with the source node and destination node addresses. A general conclusion on relation of node address and hop count is also given.
