Problem 2: The following table showed theoretical
loss-free maximum TCP throughput over 1, 2 and 3
hops for each 802.11b transmission bit-rate. If we
add another column as "4 Hops" in the table, what
are the expected throughputs, for Rates 1, 2, 5.5
and 11 Mbps respectively? Briefly explain why.
(Exact numbers are not required; giving rough
numbers reasonably close to the expectation would
be okay).

In spite of recent advancement of Wireless Mesh Technology, a lot of research challenges remained to be solved to extract the full capacity of this modern technology. As 802.11a/b/g standards make available the use of multi radio multi channel in a wireless node, a lot of research activities are going on to efficiently allocate the channel of a Mesh Network to boost its overall performances. In this research, the prospect of dividing the total network area into two non-overlapping channels of a given Mesh Network is investigated and analyzed numerically.
