Dynamic Load Balanced Hop Selection Algorithm in Wireless Mesh Network

In mesh networks, various types of routing matrix are applicable. This document proposes a routing methodology, which makes use of the ETR (Expected Transmission Rate). The ETR is based on a load balancing metric contingent on the linked bandwidth of each integrated node. This routing methodology can be applied when selecting a relay node based on the present link efficiency between the available nodes determined dynamically while the service is used. The proposed method, called EETR (Efficient ETR), can improve the data relay speed by an average of 30% with small variance compared with ETR on a one-way link.
