VoIP on Mesh Networks

Abstract

The development of wireless communication has been very fast in the last couple of years. Today the industry demands mobility functionalities on every node. Scenarios such as emergency situations, rescue and disaster operations, and connectivity in remote areas with no possibilities of physical infrastructure, are some examples of environments in special need for independent communication applications with no central point of coordination. Limitations of wireless network infrastructures to extend the functionalities of nodes in areas where no central point is present or areas not covered between two central points suggest that the incorporation of communication functionalities on the node itself would be necessary.
