The existing path selection scheme in IEEE 802.11s for wireless mesh networks is Hybrid Wireless Mesh Protocol (HWMP). The main routing metric of HWMP is called airtime metric, which is dependent on packet error rate and transmission bitrate. HWMP does not take energy efficiency into consideratio...
