摘要：
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to compare the low-cost switched-beam antennas and the more expensive adaptive antennas in a wireless mesh network (WMN) scenario. Design/methodology/approach - A mathematical framework is adopted in order to determine, for the two antenna systems, the number of sustainable simultaneous communications and the achievable throughput of a backbone WMN in a realistic outdoor environment. Findings - The paper includes a thorough examination of benefits and crucial implementation issues concerning the adoption multiple antennas on mesh routers. Originality/value - The paper investigates the relationship between the antenna system and the adopted channel coding technique, to determine the set-up that may offer the best compromise between performance and complexity.
