AbstractScalability and topological stability are two of the most challenging issues in current wireless mesh networks WMNs deployments. In the literature, both the scalability and the topological stability of WMNs are described as likely to suffer from poor performance due to the ad hoc nature of the underlying IEEE 802.11 mechanisms. The main contribution of this article is a comprehensive review of the main topological stability and scalability-related issues in IEEE 802.11s-based networks. Moreover, the most relevant proposed solutions are surveyed, where both the drawbacks and the merits of each proposal are highlighted. At the end of the article, some open research challenges are presented and discussed. It is expected that this work may serve as motivation for more and deeper research on these issues to allow the design of future more stable and scalable IEEE 802.11s mesh networks deployments.
