IEEE 802.11s wireless LAN mesh network technology is the next step in the evolution of wireless architecture. A WLAN mesh network consists of WLAN devices with relay functions that communicate directly. In this type of networks, path selection is based on two protocols: HWMP and RA-OLSR. This paper presents a detailed study of the performance of the proposed path selection algorithms for IEEE 802.11s WLAN mesh networks based on the current draft standard D1.06 from July 2007 under different scenarios to provide conditions of the applicability of the protocols.
