Abstract: Wireless Mesh Networks (WMN) mainly consists of mesh clients and mesh routers. It is mainly effective as an economically successful and a promising technology for providing wireless broadband services. Mesh routers basically form the backbone of the network (WMN) and hence has the minimum mobility. They interconnect the mesh clients and the wireline backbone network. In order to approach the wireline level or same or near QoS, the Wireless Mesh Networks must be QoS aware. In this paper we have worked on the effect of variable transmission power to achieve the desired SNR and to maximize the number of active links at the same time for each links in the network and analyze different approaches to maintain the QoS routing of a wireless mesh network.
