Wireless Mesh Networks for Interconnection of Remote Sites to Fixed Broadband Networks (Feasibility Study)

Abstract (German)

The project investigates the feasibility of multi-hop wireless mesh networks for connecting sensor networks or other devices deployed in remote areas, where no fixed network access is available, to a fixed broadband network. Distances of several 10 km need to be traversed. The project will evaluate Quality-of-Service parameters such as bandwidth, delay, and robustness that can be expected from a solution, which is based on transmission over multiple hops and multiple paths.
