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. %U https://sciarena.com/article/design-of-optimal-a-wireless-mesh-network
