Abstract

In the present scenario, improvement in the data rate, scalability and throughput are some of the most time consuming issues in Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN). This paper discusses one of our proposed methods, i.e., improving data rate in Wireless Mesh Networks by redefining the mesh transceiver with the help of OFDM and CDMA called OFCD. The details are set down by dividing the transceiver into transmitter and receiver which incorporates OFDM and CDMA techniques.
