Abstract
The present invention relates to a dynamic wireless meshing network system, which applies a management frame stipulated in IEEE 802.11 standard for regulating access point (AP) to a wireless distribution system (WDS) mode and adds an information element (IE) to the management frame, enabling an AP to select another AP having smaller hop count value and service hop count value to establish a wireless link therewith according to information in a hop count field and a service hop count field of the IE provided by the another AP and to determine whether a wireless link therebetween should be established according to information of real time network flow in a RunOutofVport field of the same IE for achieving the goal of establishing a dynamic wireless meshing network system with high efficiency, low loading and simple topology for supporting load balance and flow control.
