-3-Energy Efficient Mesh Network for Rural and Sparse Area

UTM-TDR 27.2 (T2):Energy Efficient Mesh Network for Rural and Sparse Area

Wireless technology experienced a fast development in the past few decades. However, research and investment in wireless communication so far has been focused mainly on high-density domains or fully connected networks. The technologies/solutions developed for above domains do not readily apply to rural and sparse domains. The users in rural and sparse areas are still served predominantly by either low-speed access or have no data service available at all. This research work explores the largely overlooked rural and sparse domains, where the implementation of data communication especially internet can be implemented for rural communication area through study the deployment of the access network and the implementation of suitable point to point to point and point to multipoint system mesh network as well as the signal coverage in the rural area.
