RT Conference Proceedings T1 Seamless integration of unidirectional broadcast links into QoS-constrained broadband wireless mesh access networks A1 Kretschmer, Mathias A1 Ghinea, Gheorgita AB Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have maturedin recent years. They allow two nodes tocommunicate via multiple hops when no directconnectivity 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-mediacontent poses a challenge for the typical WMNrouting protocols such a Optimised Link StateRouting (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 seamlessintegration of Broadcast technologies such asDigital Video Broadcast (DVB) to introduce support for high-bandwidth multi-media services.
