Detailed Description

The path selection in the WiFiMAC allows the setup of a mesh topology according to IEEE 802.11s. Based on link measurements (given from wifimac::lowerMAC), the shortest path through the mesh network to a destination is identified and frames are forwarded accordingly. Furthermore, the path selection supports

• Mesh proxy functionality, to allow transparent participation of non-mesh nodes (STAs) in the mesh network
• Portal nodes to access the Radio Access Network Gateway node.
• Multiple transceiver per nodes to simulate multi-radio multi-channel mesh networks.
