    Abstract

    Wireless Mesh Networks have proven immensely valuable in extending the reach, speed of deployment and flexibility of networks. Routing in wireless mesh networks is complicated by channel interference, multi-hop pathways and the highly unpredictable nature of traffic demands, due to mobile clients and diversity of services. The goal of this dissertation is a routing strategy which provides the best possible worst-case performance while achieving a balance with the average case. We establish a baseline of a robust worst-case using oblivious routing, which uses no knowledge of traffic demand. We extend this using a series of demand models with increasing focus and time-awareness and incorporate them into our solution to enhance the average case with minimal risk to the worst-case. Finally, we accommodate multichannel and multiradio models to provide practical routings for realistic networks.
