Evaluación de protocolos de encaminamiento en una red inalámbrica mallada desplegada en una zona rural

Abstract

The implementation of wireless communication systems in rural areas through the deployment of data networks in infrastructure mode is often inadequate due to its high cost and no fault tolerant centralized structure. Mesh networks can overcome these limitations while increases the coverage area in a more flexible way. This paper proposes the performance evaluation of the routing protocols IEEE 802.11s and Batman-Adv on an experimental wireless mesh network deployed in a rural environment called Lachocc, which is a community located at 4700 MASL in the Huancavelica region in Peru. The evaluation was based on the measurement of quality of service parameters such as bandwidth, delay and delay variation. As a result, it was determined that both protocols offer a good performance, but in most of the cases, Batman-Adv provides slightly better performance
