Multi-hop wireless networks are usually defined as a collection of nodes equipped with radio transmitters, which not only have the capability to communicate each other in a multi-hop fashion, but also to route each others' data packets. The distributed nature of such networks makes them suitable for a variety of applications where there are no assumed reliable central entities, or controllers, and may significantly improve the scalability issues of conventional single-hop wireless networks. This book mainly investigates two aspects of the research issues related to the efficient multi-hop wireless networks designs, namely: network protocols and network management, both in cross-layer design paradigms to ensure the notion of service quality, i.e., quality-of-service (QoS) in wireless mesh networks (WMNs) for backhaul applications and quality-of-information (QoI) in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for sensing tasks. This book uses different network settings as illustrative examples to...
