Addressing survivability and service reliability in mesh networks, this new publication discusses the appropriate metrics of mesh survivability, including availability, reliability and performance, with design insights for researchers and professionals.

Designing for Network and Service Continuity in Wireless Mesh Networks describes performance predictability of the new wireless mesh network paradigm, and describes considerations in designing networks from the perspective of survivability and service continuity metrics. The work provides design insights for network design researchers and industry professionals. It includes designs for new mesh networks and extensions of existing networks with predictable performance.

Addresses the issue of survivability and service predictability of mesh networks Discusses appropriate metrics of mesh survivability, including availability, reliability and performability Provides appropriate background in joint design of mesh networks routing, scheduling, power control, etc. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
