—IEEE 802.11 WiFi equipment based wireless mesh networks have recently been proposed as an inexpensive approach to connect far-flung rural areas. Such networks are built using h...
— VillageNet is a wireless mesh network that aims to provide low-cost broadband Internet access for rural regions. The cost of building the network is kept low by using off-the-s...
Several research efforts as well as deployments have chosen IEEE 802.11 as a low-cost, long-distance access technology to bridge the digital divide. In this paper, we consider the...
Abstract—This paper addresses combinatorial optimization schemes for solving the multicriteria Steiner tree problem for communication network topology design (e.g., wireless mesh...
