Abstract
Every kind of wireless network has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the provided services, traffic and coverage of various wireless networks differ a lot. To fully use the advantages of various wireless networks and provide better Quality of Services (QoS), the wireless network convergence based on IP technology aroused great interest in recent years. At the same time, different wireless access technologies have their own standards within mesh network architecture. Accordingly, various mesh network technologies are prosperous. However, the requirement to access network anywhere anytime needs the interconnection of various networks. Therefore, the convergence of wireless mesh networks (WMNs) with other wireless networks becomes an extremely important research subject. In this chapter, WMNs-based multinetwork convergence technology is introduced. With the new technology, wireless terminals can access heterogeneous wireless networks and Internet through the backbone WMN using a multimode manner, which help the wireless terminals realize seamlessly roaming among different wireless networks.
