A Bio-inspired Algorithm Based Time Synchronization Strategy in Infrastructure Wireless Mesh Networks

Abstract

Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) have severe synchronization problem due to propagation delay. However, using the concept of bio-inspired algorithm has recently considered as synchronization solution. This paper proposes a bio-inspired algorithm based time synchronization strategy in infrastructure WMNs, which adaptively steers the beacon interval per mesh router (MR) or station (STA) for the delayed beacon due to a traffic overrun.
