Improved topology control for multiradio multichannel wireless mesh networks with directional antennas

There are five interdependent aspects which affect the performance of multiradio multichannel wireless mesh networks with directional antennas, namely topology control, interface assignment, channel assignment, antenna orientation and routing strategies. In this work, we present an improved version of an existing topology control algorithm. We show that proper topology control scheme improves the routing decisions and results in higher packet delivery ratio, lower end to end delay and better fairness.
