Roles of Nodes @ L2 Role of CH is to Manage radio resources in cluster (scheduling of transmission opportunities/label schedules) Provide mechanisms for measurement reporting to L3 (for routing, QoS management, etc.) Role of Normal nodes Search (on behalf of CH) for isolated nodes to trigger topology updates which guarantee connectivity of the mesh network (not part of WIDENS protocol) Potentially, it can perform opportunistic multiplexing, when CH schedules only TXops. MAC provides services to mesh routing mechanisms (MPLS-like) Logical flows between CH for label management using appropriate metrics (achievable throughput, delay) Broadcast flows from all nodes in mesh for route discovery and maintenance L2.5 View Edge Router (Ingress/egress) Label switch routers 802.11 Node Label 1 Label 2 Free labels (potential) PHYn PHYm MACn IP MACm “MPLS” PHYm PHYm MACm MACm “MPLS” IP “MPLS” IP IP PHYn PHYm MACn IP MACm “MPLS” IP Ingress function egress function Roles of nodes at L2.5 Role of Edge Router is to Aggregate traffic (ingress) from IP flows to MPLS-like labels Demultiplex traffic (degress) from MPLS-like labels to IP Role of Label switching router Switch incoming/outcoming labels according routing table All nodes in MESH use a three-way hand-shaking protocol (label REQ, label REP, label ACK) for label management Path discovery Path maintenance (as local as possible) This protocol can use the same logical resources as the L2 topology management services L2 QoS Measurement reporting CH manages measurement reports @ L2 for nodes within the cluster Measurements reports can be exchanged between nodes in the Mesh using a logical flow for topological control signaling Edge routers can provide these measurements to IP Measurements are attached to labels within the mesh L2 QoS Measurement Reporting Since the CH scheduler has access to low-level PHY measurements, the MAC layer is responsible for measurement reporting on behalf of the PHY and itself. The CH obtains raw mea
