Abstract

Much of the current research in wireless mesh networks has focused on protocols, algorithms and authentication schemes for protecting the data during data transmission. The wireless mesh network communication has become an explicating and important technology in recent years because of the rapid proliferation of wireless devices. WMN are highly vulnerable to attacks due to the open medium, dynamically changing network topology. This paper proposes and evaluates strategies to build reliable and secure communication in multi –radio multi-channel mesh networks using M2-MAC protocol. Therefore, we analyse mitigating misrouting in wireless multi- radio multi-channel using M2-MAC protocol and extensively show that our scheme provides very good enhancements in a variety of scenarios.
