Abstract:

A gateway selection model based on anycast communication is presented, and an anycast-based gateway routing algorithm in wireless mesh network are designed. In this model, all the gateway nodes areabstracted as an anycast group and the member management and maintenance of gateway group are implemented by a gateway tree which is consisted of all gateway nodes. To provide the client node for the fastest response to Internet access, the gateway selection routing algorithm takes delay as a standard and adaptively select the best gateway node for its services through effective anycast mechanism. The experimental results show that this algorithm can effectively solve the gateway selection problem.

Key words: wireless mesh network, gateway selection, anycast, routing, delay
