Abstract

This thesis addresses the problem of multipath routing in wireless mesh networks. We study the use of clustering algorithms to facilitate the discovery and deployment of non-interfering multipath routes in these settings. In this context we propose a novel clustering algorithm and complementary protocols to discover and maintain routes in an efficient manner, aiming at minimizing interferences between transmissions of neighboring nodes. We provide an evaluation using the NS-2 network simulator and show that our solution offers an interesting tradeoff between the signaling cost, the time required to set up and maintain paths, and the properties of the discovered paths.
