Seamless Multimedia Streaming in Controller-Less Wireless Mesh Networks With Mobile Stations

Seamless roaming in distributed Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is still a complex problem in practice. We employ a 20-node testbed that enables mobile clients to stream live video with real-time properties despite frequent roaming events. A Linux-based prototype implements enhancements to the Babel distance vector routing and novel network-assisted roaming improvements.
