Light Client Management Protocol for Wireless Mesh Networks

The future of wireless networks evolves toward more simple ways for users to get connected while on the move. In this perspective, Wireless Mesh Networks constitutes one of the key technologies for next generation wireless networks. In this paper we present LCMP, a new protocol for client management in wireless mesh networks. LCMP performs on-demand path setup for clients and supports clients mobility by introducing new light mechanisms that take full advantage of the mesh architecture. The work on LCMP and mesh routing is still in progress at LOMNT laboratory. In this papel; we highlight some ongoing work.
