Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) in IoT Networks

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the most common applications in both industrial operations and home automation, as well as in the world of network engineering. On the other hand, wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are a networking technology that has been discussed for decades but has not been widely used. They can make a significant difference when it comes to networking in today's IoT world. This paper is a brief introduction to WMNs in IoT networks, mentioning the advantages and disadvantages of using WMNs in IoT networks, and highlighting the main challenges these networks face as Energy Efficiency,Scalability,Bandwidth Constraints, Security.
