Abstract


Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) is evolving major technology for the future generation wireless networking. Wireless mesh networks currently having faster improvement and used in several helpful applications because of its merits than the other wireless networks. Wireless mesh networks includes features such as self-organization, self-configuration, and reliable when some failure occurs, and robust against RF interference, obstacles or power outage. This is mainly because these networks are built on advanced physical technologies. However, the topology constructions in WMNs are very important for proper functioning of network will better output. This leads to several researches for the construction of topology. The cost for the construction of WMN is an important factor because of its high cost. The cost mainly depends on the height of the tower. So the height should be determined accordingly. But at the same time, the energy should be conserved. This paper provides better techniques for construction of tower with reduced cost and at the same time this paper also focuses on the technique for energy conservation. This paper also focuses on the self-organization algorithm. The main intention of the self-organization method is to decrease the interference and enhance the aggregate capacity of the network. This can be achievable by dealing the two major factors that are related with the self organization of WMN – Scalability and Stability. The experimental results shows the better result obtained by using the proposed technique.
