Summary: This paper serves as an in-depth introduction to wireless mesh
 networking, covering current advances in the field such as routing protocols
 and algorithms for efficiently forwarding packets in unplanned networks,
 usage scenarios and issues in design and deployment, and techniques for
 managing and monitoring mesh networks.

Relevance: Because it covers a wide range of topics this paper will serve
 as a supplementary information source for my research on wireless mesh
 networks.

Summary: This fairly new paper documents a number of studies experimenting
 with real-world implementations of mobile ad-hoc networks (

s) and methodologies used, and summarizes observations and key findings
 from these experiments.
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
Relevance: This paper is interesting because it documents several wireless
 mesh experiments that are in real-world use for serving Internet access
 on medium to large scales, in which the network topology, routing protocols
 and particularly management tools used are being tested in a very realistic
 manner.
 I will be investigating how data gathering and dissemination is done on
 several of these experiments.

\noindent
Summary: This is the original paper that introduces Ad-hoc On-demand Distance
 Vector (AODV) routing as a routing algorithm for mobile ad-hoc networks.
 AODV is a

\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset

 routing protocol, that is it does not store a persistent list of nodes
 and routes to forward packets but only computes routes when there is a
 need for traffic flow, making it more power and bandwidth efficient in
 certain use cases.
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
Relevance: NICTA's wireless mesh implementation uses AODV as its routing
 protocol.
 If time allows it my thesis may be adapted towards studying how efficient
 dissemination of gathered data (e.\InsetSpace \thinspace{}
g.\InsetSpace \space{}
SNMP) can be achieved in relation to
 routing protocol used.

Summary: This book deals with fourth generation wireless communication networks.
 Several chapters are dedicated to covering ad-hoc networks, common routing
 protocols and algorithms and mobile network management.

Relevance: Because this book has a very extensive coverage of currently
 established research as well as being the most recently updated source
 of this bibliography list it will serve as a main information source for
 my research.

Summary: This paper proposes a new protocol for managing MANETs using a
 hierarchical approach.
 Individual nodes, or 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

agents
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset

, are grouped together according to proximity to form clusters.
 At least one node from each cluster becomes a 
\begin_inset Quotes els

cluster\InsetSpace \space{}
head
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset

, and acts as an intermediary to the 
\begin_inset Quotes els
\end_inset

network manager
\begin_inset Quotes ers
\end_inset

.
 Using SNMP polling, network information is then gathered and propagated
 upwards the tree, with the manager being the root, making it more efficient
 than conventional techniques.
\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
Relevance: The wireless mesh management architecture is not strictly within
 the scope of my thesis, but I have been interested in looking into recent
 proposals that might be able to address some issues my supervisor has mentioned
, namely scalability and network efficiency.
 Currently network information is gathering by having nodes polled centrally.
 Traffic generated from this technique incurs a certain overhead on the
 wireless mesh, which might also limit its scalability.

Summary: This paper suggests an intelligent self-configurable architecture
 for managing nodes in MANETs that is scalable to a large number of heterogeneou
s nodes.
 Like ANMP, Guerrilla uses a clustering approach for node management.
 Nodes are grouped into individual manageable

\end_layout

\begin_layout List
\labelwidthstring 00.00.0000
Relevance: Same as above, but this architecture allows more management flexibili
ty and adaptability to changing network conditions.
