AB The visibility and success ofWireless Mesh Network (WMN)deployments has raised interest among commercial operators in this technology.Compared to traditional operator access networks WMNs havethe potential to offer easier deployment and flexible self-reconfigurationat lower costs. A WMN-type architecture considered as an alternativefor an operator access network must meet similar requirements such ashigh availability and guaranteed QoS in order to support triple-play contentprovisioning. In this paper we introduce an architecture of such aCarrier-grade Wireless Mesh Access Network (CG-WMAN). We thenpresent our contribution, an approach to seamlessly integrate unidirectionalbroadcast cells (i.e. DVB-T) into such a CG-WMAN. This allowshigher layer protocols to utilize broadcast cells like regular mesh links,where beneficial for a given payload and receiver distribution. We thenpresent a typical use case and discuss for which combinations of traffictype, user distribution and QoS requirements the use of longer rangebroadcast technologies can help to improve the overall CG-WMAN performancein terms of throughput and reliability.
