Wireless mesh networks have been considered as a cost effective means of extending coverage which is beyond the capability of a single wireless device. The license free IEEE 802.11 based Wi-Fi is one of the handy available technologies for building a wireless mesh network. The legacy Wi-Fi technology is however not designed for building mesh networks that often require supporting mobility of wireless nodes. The IEEE 802.11s adds the feature of mobile mesh networking to standard Wi-Fi by providing layer-2 routing and better handoff mechanisms. This creates a new set of applications that can be provided with mobile mesh capable Wi-Fi devices. In this work we build a real 802.11s mesh network testbed and performed extensive experimentation with speeds ranging up to 80km/h. The study is aimed at analyzing the effect of speed and other factors on different QoS parameters in a real environment with the objective of finding the feasibility of different applications for mobile 802.11s networks.
