Abstract :
The wireless mesh network is a novel wireless network architecture that supports clients to communicate with different types of networks, Internet etc. It consists of mesh routers and mesh clients. These mesh routers are minimal mobile and mesh clients are totally mobile which operate on batteries. Hence, power consumption becomes an important issue in mesh clients. The protocols of Ad hoc networks can be used in WMNs. But in the paper we only consider the routing algorithm with limited battery energy of each mesh clients. To maximize the lifetime of mesh mobile networks, the power consumption rate of each node must be evenly distributed, it is essential to prolong each individual node (mobile) lifetime since the lack of mobile nodes can result in partitioning of the network, causing interruptions in communications between mobile nodes, and finally the overall transmission power for each connection request must be minimized. These two objectives cannot be satisfied simultaneously due to the NP hardness of the problem so a trade-off between these two conflict optimization objectives is needed. In this article we propose a new metric to find a proper route in wireless Mesh network.
