Performance analysis of voice and video streaming in wireless mesh and ad hoc networks
Sureshbabu Ramalingam, Lakshmikanth Yerradoddi, Subramanian Srinivasan Abstract Wireless mesh networks are the next step in the
evolution of wireless architecture, delivering wireless services for a large variety of applications in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan area. Ad hoc wireless networks are increasingly gaining importance due to their advantages such as low cost and ease of deployment .In this paper, we present a detailed simulation study of the performance of voice and video streaming in ad hoc and wireless mesh networks using predominant mesh routing protocols being considered in IEEE 802.11s: Ad hoc on demand distance vector(AODV) and optimized link state routing protocol(OLSR) in ns2(Network simulator) environment. We also implement hardware configuration of the mesh routers. voice and video.

a wireless mesh network and in a ad-hoc network by streaming

EXPERIMENTAL SETUP
We conduct simulation experiments using the network simulator ns2. ns2 is a widely used tool to simulate the behavior of wired and wireless networks. A discrete event, packet-level simulator targeted at networking research supports the simulation of intserv/diffserv, Multicast, Transport, Applications, and Wireless (fixed mobile, satellite). Ns2 is an open ware, based on two languages (an objectoriented simulator C++), and OTcl (object-oriented Tcl) interpreter. The performance analysis of AODV and OLSR algorithms, in terms of traffic load and host mobility, is compared for voice transmission and also for video transmission in wireless mesh network .Their performance is also compared in wireless Ad hoc network environment. Hardware implementation of mesh routers starts with connecting the mesh routers to existing router having ip address of 192.168.254.1. We get the firmware of the router from www.qcsmesh.com and we work on that to join to existing mesh network and provide authentication to the users.

An ad hoc network is characterized by its fully distributed control mechanisms and self-organized behavior. Such a network is expected to work in the absence of any infrastructure by autonomously creating multihop paths for packet delivery. A wireless mesh network, as a variant of Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET), is an IEEE 802.11-based infrastructure network in which Access Points (APs) and stations (STA or hosts) can relay messages on behalf of other APs in ad hoc fashion to create a self-configuring system that extends the coverage range and increases the available bandwidth.The Ad hoc On Demand Distance Vector (AODV) routing algorithm is a routing protocol designed for ad hoc mobile networks. AODV builds routes using a route request / route reply query cycle. When a source node desires a route to a destination for which it does not already have a route, it broadcasts a route request (RREQ) packet across the network. The Optimized Link State Routing Protocol (OLSR) is developed for mobile ad hoc networks. It operates as a table driven and proactive protocol, thus exchanges topology information with other nodes of the network regularly. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of these two algorithms in

PROJECT PLAN
We did a feasibility study on Wireless mesh networks and Ad hoc networks and finalized to do the project mentioned above. This project is being done by three member team, and the plan is to study and implement the material equally by all the members of the group. We plan to complete the project by April first week. The project report will be completed in one week time frame.
