Abstract

In these days, IEEE802.16 protocol is being developed and in the next years, 802.16 modems will be used in every house to connect to the Internet through base-stations in both urban and rural areas. Since user bandwidth for connection to the Internet is limited, a large fraction of each modem’s bandwidth is not used. PPMN is a public peer-to-peer mesh network using the non-utilized bandwidth of independent 802.16 users. In this paper, we improve security and resiliency in the design of PPMN. Design performance is evaluated using simulation.
