除了以上分析的负载均衡方法外,还有一些问题亟待研究,例如:负载均衡优劣的度量、流量分配的稳定性、流量的分割和负载均衡对路由的影响以及由于流量分割产生的乱序现象对TCP性能的影响、节点如何跨层感知负载情况并形成基于跨层协作的负载均衡算法等。 4 结束语
WMN是一种特殊的Ad hoc网络,具有分层的网络结构,其传输骨干网具有多跳、拓扑稳定、无供电约束等特性。同时作为宽带无线接入网络,WMN通过网关节点与其他类型的网络实现互联,业务流量相对汇聚。如何针对WMN的特点,提高网络的通信性能仍然是目前研究的热点问题,而增加WMN的网络容量是其中关键而又基础的问题。除此之外,尚有一些关键技术问题有待进一步解决,如WMN的QoS保障、分布式网络管理、控制机制、WMN安全机制等问题。尽管如此,我们相信WMN必将成为下一代无线网络中的主流技术之一。 5 参考文献
