Abstract
Spontaneously deployed wireless mesh networks raise challenging connectivity aspects. Based on an organizational framework and on an open connectivity service architecture, an opportunistic resources management service is proposed, which exploits network conditions and node capabilities to improve connectivity. This service is able to orchestrate adequate connectivity mechanisms, such as access provisioning, mesh forwarding and Internet gateway ones, in multi-radio nodes. The service is evaluated for a spontaneous neighbourhood community-based Wireless Mesh Network scenario, where a flash crowd of end-users with heterogeneous terminals is explored. It is shown that network performance is improved, increasing overall coverage and capacity.
