Abstract
A method and system for QoS provisioning in broadband wireless mesh networks are disclosed. According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method, comprises providing a dual mode mesh router having a plurality of radios, wherein the mesh router is used in a cell of a plurality of cells that covers a geographic region. The mesh router includes one or more WiMAX backhaul radios, one or more WiFi backhaul radios, one or more WiMAX access radios, one or more WiFi access radios, and three or more intra-mesh radios. Traffic is received at the dual mode mesh router. A minimum quality of service requirement is identified for the traffic. The traffic is routed via the one or more WiMAX backhaul radio when the minimum quality of service meets a predetermined value.
