Abstract(in English) In Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs), single-hop or multi-hop wireless links are used to connect Access Points (APs) in place of cables of conventional wireless LAN, aiming reduction in network deployment cost and time, and flexibility in AP placement. In this lecture, the fundamental concepts of ad hoc networks and mesh networks and standardization on wireless mesh networks in IETF and IEEE802.il are introduced. In the task group S of IEEE 802.11, standardization of WMN is in progress targeting to publish the IEEE 802.11s specification by the year of 2008. In the lecture an overview of current status of IEEE 802.11s specification is presented. Specifically, the basic concepts of WMN, network models, frame format, mesh discovery and link management, channel graph switch protocol, two types of path selection protocols, congestion control, and our proposal for improvement in path selection protocol are explained. Current status and future plan of "Yamakoshi Joint Experimental Project", that is a trial of realizing broadband access in rural mountain areas by using wireless mesh networks, are introduced.
