Abstract
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have matured
in recent years. They allow two nodes to
communicate via multiple hops when no direct
connectivity exists. This allows community networks such as Freifunk [3] to provide affordable Internet access to their communities by sharing a few gateway nodes. Increasing demand for multi-media
content poses a challenge for the typical WMN
routing protocols such a Optimised Link State
Routing (OLSR) which lack Quality of Service (QoS) support. Although, numerous solutions have been proposed to introduce QoS awareness such as [4], those WMNs fail to meet commercial operator requirements in term of reliability and QoS guarantees. In this paper we propose the seamless
integration of Broadcast technologies such as
Digital Video Broadcast (DVB) to introduce support for high-bandwidth multi-media services.
